A little creeped out

You can run but you will only die tired
I have never had this happen before and it is creeping me out a little. I got a facebook friend request from a stripper today. I have only seen her in the club a couple of times. The most recent was a couple of weeks ago. She is not really one of my favorites, but I have gotten dances from her and some VIP. She has never given me her real name but the picture and the fact that her stripper name is a variation of her last name clinched it, it is definitely her.
What creeps me out is that I only give my first name, and occasionally the town I am from. So this would have taken some investigation on her part, unless I uncharacteristically told her what I do for a living. With the size of the town and the scarcity of those in my profession there would make it easy to track me down. Unfortunately I cannot remember if that might have happened, or not. Of course I am declining it, but why would she even do this? My wife and coworkers and others who have no clue about my PL life are among my friends. There is no good that can come of this. Anyone else have anything like this happen?

Another possibility is phone GPS locations. If both you and the stripper have GPS turned on while in the same building and logged in to FB, then FB will eventually assume that you know each other.
If you're privacy is important, then log out of your social media accounts and turn off your GPS before driving to the club. Don't just restart your phone; that doesn't log you out. Go into the app and manually log out.
For FB, log out of both FB as well as FB Messenger (two separate apps). Log out of Instagram as well, if you have it. IG is owned by Facebook.
It's annoying. But necessary if you want to be discreet.
If you don't want to be caught, you need to become a social media ghost. I have LinkedIn but have my security set so I don't show up in search results. Searching my name and city show general white page information but no Facebook or LinkedIn. No images with my face show up either. My Facebook is set to private and I don't have my picture as my profile picture so when I do show up as a suggestion, people wouldn't be able to connect the dots by my face.
I took Facebook off my phone a few years ago and my life is better for it. I've been toying with deleting it altogether as I've found I enjoy running in to old friends better when I don't know what's going on with their lives on Facebook. LinkedIn is a joke of a site for networking (basically a site for shaking your business balls at each other), so deleting both of these accounts would decrease the chances of being caught, if that's a concern.
Now if you are single and not worried about anyone finding out about your clubbing habit, then Facebook is probably a good mechanism to keep in contact with the strippers.
For those of us who have anything to lose though, i'd avoid Facebook like the plague.
By the way, even though I had set my FB profile to "private" and I emailed them years ago (like 2010 or 2011) to delete my account, every once in a great while I will go through my junk emails and see emails from facebook saying "do you know such and such" most of the time they are people I have no knowledge of, but other times it's freaky how they are able to come up with people that are like 7 degrees of separation to people I used to club with and knew...
I honestly think that even though you tell them to delete an account, it's still out there somewhere, someplace on their servers...
It's best to be safe, and keep your PL life and phone - separate from your home life and phone.
