STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Yes! I do this ALL THE TIME.

First, accept her friend request. Then go to your upper right corner of FB and click Account>Privacy Settings.

In the "Sharing on Facebook" section of your Privacy Settings page, click "Custom" and then at the bottom of that box, click "Customize Settings."

There will now be a list of "Things I Share" where you can see everything you share (statuses, photos, etc.). Next to each there is a drop-down box you can click where you can specify who sees it. From that drop-down box, select "Cutomize" and then a new window will pop up where you can type the names of the people you want to hide things from. Just go through every thing you share and hide it from her.

After you've hidden everything from her, at the top of the "Customize Settings" page (which is the page with the list of "things I Share"), click the "Preview my Profile" button. Click that, and you will see a preview of your profile. At the top of the window, you can type in the name of anyone (like this woman) to see how your profile will appear to them.

There ARE some things I think you simply cannot hide. I forget exactly which, but I think it might be your education and work history, and maybe the pages you've "liked"? It might have changed since FB redesigned a few weeks ago.

Good luck!

This is great information - I have some people in mind that I may want to block.  Thanks!
