I don't know why they don't accept my friend request! I have many pending friend request in my account because they don't approve it... do you think they are not online since I've request a friend request? or they just ignore my request?
this is unfair in my side that I always approve a friend request of other members... what do you think of this? are they ignore me or just not online since I've request?

Currently, I have 75 pending friend requests. It's not that I don't want to accept them, it's just that I am making sure that they are requesting friendship for the right reasons. There are a few here who would send out tons of FR's in the hope that they could lure them into whatever sites they are peddling.
For me, I'd wait until I've had interaction with the 'requester' in some of the discussions before I accept them.
Maybe these people that you sent out FR's are just waiting for the same.

I hope you got the point, for me - it's better to have more friends in mylot and I can see them posted a new discussion in my email inbox... the disadvantage there is your email inbox can be full because of emails..

hai.. its quite common to everyone. i too have some not approved. may be the friend we invited may not be active. some may restrict adding friends. some look our profile and if it suits to them they add or ignore. so do not take serious. u just give request if they accept add or leave it.

thanks for the response... I observed that if you have added more friends, we can see our friends started a discussion in our mail inbox and make it full - maybe that's the reason why they don't add more friends because the mail inbox can be full of emails...

I too have a few, and I can't remember if they changed the rules or not, but back when I was getting referrals, when they signed up here under my name, I would have to request them. (I hope that has changed since, I haven't had a new referral since so I don't know)
The few that did accept my friendship, they said they didn't like it here and never really came back. All but one that didn't approve, they either did very little or nothing and never came back and because they were not my friend, I couldn't PM them to encourage them to be active.
Then the one who didn't approve, last I saw, he or she is still going strong here, we just don't have the same interest. Though I have found a couple that I could reply to and I hinted that there was a friend request pending, but they never approved me. But I still get credit when they make money, but I can't communicate with them.
You could go to each profile and see the last time this person signed in. That way you will know if they are just coming coming here. Or if they are, you can few their started and replied to posts and do what I did, reply to them and make a hint that there is a pending request from you to them.

Some people don't accept requests from new people until they see that the person is an active poster. The main reason for this is that it's pretty common to get spammed by new users who are just looking for referrals to other sites.
