I don't use Facebook to "make" friends . . . I use Facebook to reconnect with friends that I already have in real life. So I don't just add or approve just anyone who makes the request. There are a lot of private things that I would only like to share with my friends and family . . . I don't need any strangers (whom I know nothing about) to be in my business. I have, however, added a couple people whom I really don't know, but they happen to share the same interest that I have, so that seemed to be ok. It's not mean, but it's for your safety and privacy!

If I know the person, I add them right away. If I don't know them, I will look at their profile to see why they are adding me. I might know them from the past, but not remember them.
Now, I am playing Mafia Wars and trying to grow my mafia, so I'm adding a lot of people that I don't know.

I always check thouroughly if I know the person who has send me a friend request as I do not like strangers to be part of my personal life. I was not like this before but when I got some problems on facebook because of this adding everyone then I decided to add only those who are my friends.

If someone wants to befriend me on Facebook and I don't recognize the name, I'll contact them through Facebook, with a message asking them, "how do you know me, or how do I know you?" I try to be careful with Facebook, because there is personal information on that site and I would not add someone I didn't think could be trusted. Someone I did not recognize did try to contact me once, and I sent her that message. I never got a response back from her. As a result, she is not on my Facebook site. My advise to you is, contact that person and see if and how they know you. If you don't hear back from them, don't add them. If you do hear back, then you can decide if you want to add them. Hope this information is helpful.

usually I always approved whom are invite me to be friend. Because I like have many friend, no matter what them background. just make good relationship with people from different background. The background of my friend is not important for me, is the important he or she is Good people and not terrorist.
Have a nice day!

Well, that's normal in facebook. Actually, I also received few friend's request but most of their intentions is to have additional friends in most popular and common application games like Mafia Wars, Restaurant City, Farmville and so on...
In fact, I also did same thing. I do add more friends whom I didn't know but it could be a great and good start to interact with and get to know them more.
Perhaps, you understand now what I mean. So, it just depends on how you value their request and how you will deal with them afterwards!!!
