Friend's Dad Acting A Bit CreepyI've known one of my friends since we were babies, and our families don't live very far from one another so we used to always meet up for days at the beach and go round each others houses etc. I know her mum reasonably well, but not so much her dad because he's usually busy with his job.
I use Facebook and I obviously have my friend on my friend's list, and her parents have recently signed up to Facebook too. Her mum added me which I accepted, but the other day her dad added me too. I thought I might as well accept also as I didn't see any harm in it, despite the fact that I don't know him too well.
He sent me a message initially, saying "Hey fizz welcome to my "friends" page!! Take care. Love Robin" which I didn't mind and thought it was relatively normal, maybe minus the 'love' part as I don't really know him that well. I replied with just "Hi Robinnn!" assuming that would be that.
I've just opened up Facebook though and there's another message saying "Yo fizzy. Howya doin?? How's uni goin? Do you have an MSN address?? Am collecting them, sometimes easier to talk that way than to always have to logon to the myspace or facebook websites. Let me know. Take care. Love Robinnnnnnn!!!". Also if you're familiar with Facebook you'll know that there are various applications you can add to your profile, and he sent me a Kiss Request - 'Robin Blew You A Kiss. Blow A Kiss Back!'.
I haven't replied to his message and I've clicked 'Ignore' on the kiss application thing as it's a bit creepy in my opinion. I don't particularly want him having my MSN address either because there's no point really, I can't see a point anyway.
Do you think it's just him puppy about with the features of Facebook, he's quite a jokey character anyway, or do you think it's a bit creepy?

I can only assume 1 of 2 scenarios.
#1 He's just really friendly but seems to express himself in ways he might not realize are kinda creepy.
#2 He has serious issues.

He's just lost his job so maybe he's just bored, but I'm also gonna go with number 1.
On Facebook you can edit it so that some people can only see your limited profile as in basic stuff, but it might be a bit obvious if I change that now...

Lol...That is kinda weird..especially the Robin Blew You A Kiss. Blow A Kiss Back!' bit as you don't know him that well at all..

When sending those applications to people you check boxes on your friends list and choose who to send it to, or you can send it to everyone, so he might've sent it to everyone for all I know.
I suppose it's just a matter of 'watch this space' and see what happens next.

add to one he's started using facebook and may just be trying out the different things on there. Just message him if it carries on i'm sure he doesn't realise and didn't mean it

I think he may be trying to "act cool" if you get what I mean, just trying out the features and having a bit of fun. Although if he persists, I would revise my thinking. If he does persist maybe talk to your friend.

Haven't heard from him since.
Although he's added my email address to his email contacts (not MSN) because I keep receiving annoying forward emails

Can't you delete him?

I can probably block his email in my email options yeah.

im sure its nothing
you could always message him saying "i like you" and just see if he says either i feel the same or wtf im your friends dad
at least youll know
tell your friend your doing first though so she know that you are only doing it as a test
1 way anyway

To be honest, I would not do that.
I think he was just having a mess around with the facebook, and meant nothing by it. As KCLiVES said -
he may be trying to hard to "act cool" and it came across a but creepy.
I am assuming that he has not contacted you again?
I suppose, if he does send another message, with the love and kisses on it, you could tell you friend, but tell it almost as a joke, so that you have managed to let her know, without offending her by telling her her dad is acting a bit creepy (if that makes sense?)

I haven't heard from him on Facebook at all since. I'm still getting stupid forward emails though, I need to block those but haven't got round to it.

I'd probably just leave it then. I don't think it's all that bad. 
But i do agree with KCLiVES about the 'Trying to act cool' part. That's what loads of my friends Dad's do!
They just end up embarasing my friends!
