Apparently there's a Mandarin word for this, and the closest English equivalent I could think of was a facebook poke

Yeah, the way I see it, it's like a little nudge to let them know that you've been thinking of them, a little social interaction without actually having to say any words.

Should I be proud or sad that I have no friends that poke me?

Does it really want to be poked? Maybe your friends are simply to cool use the poke feature.

apart from the obvious grammatical mistake, it's actually a pretty decent question that.

"why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?"
