What happens when you deny a friend request?

There won't be any notification of a denied friend reques, I guess it will stop show 'pending' though for the person who requested it. But basicly, that's it. If you don't deny a reques every once a while you get so many friends that going through friend discussions becomes impossible. You can also add someone and if you never hear from them, remove them. You provide them the chance to get to know eachother and if it doesn't work out you can remove them from your list. I don't think that it's a bad thing if you aren't responding to eachothers discussions anyway.

Nothing happens. They don't get a message or anything. Actually they'd never know unless they check to see if you're their friend now. I deny a lot of requests, because like you, I don't want just a ton of friends. I only accept new friends if their name looks familiar to me, like I've seen them around Mylot before.

No, a denied friend request doesn't send a message. It just goes away. I always check out peoples' profiles first to see why they are requesting. If they have answered a discussion I was also responding to or they seem to post interesting discussions themselves, then I usually accept. If it seems they are just inviting randomly in order to build up a big list of friends, I generally deny.

I have no idea what happens but I have denied a few request since I have been here. If I look at their home page (or whatever it is called) and don't care for what I see or I get that weird feeling I will deny them in a second.

I am not sure myself I have not denined anyone yet. If you would like to know I can send you a request and you can deny it and we will see what happens. It probably would just say that it is denied is what I am thinking. Let me know I would be more than willing to help if you would like.

please accept my request....waiting for u i really miss u i feel alone without u here is someone who wish to share ur love n care hope we have love n care in commom plus a motto to earn by hard work too

im pretty sure nothing would happen if you deny a friend. Even though I dont deny anyone but maybe they just keep trying to requst you untill you let them be your friend thats what I see happening if they really want you to be ther friend but other then that I doubt anything will happen

Actually, I am curious to know the answer to that question too. Some people may be thinking that if they reject someone's friend request, the other party may get a rejection note that wouldn't appear nice, so they refrain from rejecting any such requests. Worst case, they just keep the request pending forever till the requester cancels it at their end. This happened to me once. My request for friendship wasn't acted upon for more than one year, and finally I had to give up and cancel it on my own accord. As far as requests go, I have not rejected a single friend request, but that is not out of fear of antagonizing the requester. I am just friendly with anyone who wishes to be friendly with me. That's just me.

Well, they get a message stating that their request has been denied.

Well, seems you got your answer...I was wondering the same thing! LOL! I haven't denied anyone yet either, but I was curious. I did have to tell you that I got a giggle out of your discussion! I love the way you worded it! Rhonda

Till date i have not denied any ones request.

For me, I do not turn down people's request at all unless some ready complicated issue. Personally, I have added "friends" on other site, a few turned me down, reasons were that I was older than them. I just had a laugh, life have to carry on.

Friendship is the boon of God. It is very difficult to get a true friend in this world of selfishness.If anybody wants to make you friend you should not deny it. May be he will become your best friend.If you deny a friend you will become restless. If anyone asks you for money, there will be no effect if you deny but denying friendship makes you restless because friendship is such a rare thing which can't be compared in terms of money.

Nothing happens because I deny friend requests from people that I actually don't know. But if it happens that I deny I person that I actually know and he want's to know, I'll just figure out a lie. Or not. Tell him straight.
