What prompts you to send a request for add to another user on mylot.

It is rare now that I send friends request but if I do then it shows that person has captivated me with his/her exceptionally good writing. Most of the time I approve friends request especially the newcomers as they too are very impressive and find my discussions interesting which prompted them to send in their request.

Hi deepak, In the beginning I added each and every person I have gone through. I did the same for getting friends here and that time I never observed their quality (never consider their ideas as impressed) age, gender, citizen etc. Once I got a fair number of friends and became familiar in mylot (among friends) I slowed down the addition of friends. The reason is by the time I realized that I can’t do justice to all of my friends (participating all of their discussions). There is no point to add so many friends without participating their discussions. But I never deny any incoming request. Now I am adding people very rarely but I if I am impressed with the ideas of any then I won’t mind to add them in my list. I may add that I am participating some mylotters discussions regularly without keeping them in my list.

Hi Dpk....Well I jsut replied to a similar discussion which Sree had started...Any way I usually sent a friend request when I like a persons discussion or response...And Yes very often I sent a request impulsively, even before blinking my eyes....And sometimes the person responses immediately and we are able to establish a rapport...But there are times when I never ever hear from the person after adding as friend...

Hi Deepak! I usually send friend requests if I am impressed with their discussions and responses too. I don't really pay attention to the fact that they might be new unless they request me. If that's the case..I check out their profile and see how active they are and in what interests. I also see if they requested me out of the blue or if it were one of my responses or discussions that attracted their interest in my friendship.

I ask and respond for friends, because to me its exciting when someone accepts you. I'll never forget when the first person asked me to be a friend and sent messages to me. It gave me a nice feeling to know someone would send a message to me. And the person was so kind and helpful. And yes, I got another new friend today, and she was like an angel in her response. I needed her comment today because of the words she used.

If I like someone's discussion, I add him/her as a friend. I do this because it will be easier to follow this person's discussion because of the "friends started" link on the menu. So whenever this person starts a new discussion, I can read it and respond to it.

If a person is able to charm with with the discussions I readily send a friend's request.

I dont think I've ever requested an add in here in the time I've been here...and I certainly dont add ppl just becuse they've requested it...If I get a request and we have similar topic interests etc then yes I'd add them...other wise though I generally dont..

Hi Deepak! Sometimes , in the course of writing out my response I read some responses to a discussion and if the response appeals to me I add the person a friend. Secondly, I sometimes add a friend if I feel that he/she is a Tamilian ;I tend to think we may share some similarity of ideas.But even here the response by the person would be the first criteria. I also add a person as a friend when I see some similarity of likes/aptitudes[for e.g. once when I came across someone being a diehard M$B fan I immediately sent a friend request.

Good quality discussions draw me in but it is more than that sometimes. I can see by reading a person’s posts that he or she may be someone that I can relate to or have a great deal in common with. Just like in the ‘real’ world it is hard to explain why we are drawn to some people and not so much to others; I put it down to chemistry between individuals and it seems to me that it comes through the World Wide Web too!

hello dpk, I add friends here in mylot,depending on what kind of discussion he/she started. Sometimes we can figure someone from the topic he/she started or participated with. It's one of my standards before adding a friend here in mylot. Have a good day friend

Hi deepak As far as I am concerned, if I find any interesting, useful or thought provoking discussions, responses or comments by any mylotter, then I go for sending my friend request to that mylotter. Sometimes I will send the same to the newbie too to encourage them and help them to earn more or correct them if they make any mistakes due to newbies through the PM by sending my friend request

Avatar, name, wit, humor, and the kind of responses. :)

hi,there.When I send a reguest for add to another user on mylot ,it may because I find his/her topic is interesting and can catch my attention.Somtimes I do this may because I think we have some similarities.But I don't know why others add to me and I never deny somebody so far.

I am motivated to connect to people on Mylot that I don't yet know. I don't usually have a reason for who I connect with, I just like to meet random people on here. It's all pretty anonymous anyway, so it doesn't really matter I have made some really great friends this way.

i rarely send out adds because even when im active i can barely keep up with everyone but i accept every one that sends me one even if it looks like a spammer.. every month or couple of months i go through and see what friends are still around and active and then go through them.. anyone that hasnt been around for 4 months i usually delete unless i know why they are missing.. but unless i know the person and know im avoiding them then i will add everyone and hope i can keep up!

Hi dpk! I add new friends for the same reason as you do! I might respond to their discussion and see that we might have something in common or like the way they handle their discussion and just decide that I would like to get to know them better! Andsometimes someone sees me in a discusson and I guess the feel the same way too! If I think that they might be compatible I will add them to my friends list! I like to make new friends! Isn't that what we're here for to broaden or horizons and learn as much as we can and meet new people!

HI Deepak.. I am also like you when ever I find some one who is posting interesting discussion and responses then I will add them in my list so that I can take part in their discussions or atleast I would not miss the topics to read and enjoy them.. And if some one requests me to be friend then I will add them also..

Hi Deepak! I'm not sure to be honest, but I think I'll send friend request if I can see that I'll be able to relate to their discussions and have been interacting with them for a while.

When I first signed up it was usually something about what the person had posted in a discussion or a number of discussions. It might have been a situation where someone seemed to have similar interests and becoming friends was a way to keep up with them. Before long I didn't have to request anymore though because I had tons of requests coming constantly.
