accepting friends' request on facebook

Hello allknowing! It is your choice and your call finally. If you do not feel comfortable adding him/her or further interacting with him/her on Facebook, you can choose to ignore him/her. Had I been in your place, I would have accepted the request because if the fellow does not behave himself/herself, I have every right to delete him/her from my list.

Yes you are right, pretty odd but I find nothing wrong with the gesture. If he/she's more comfortable interacting on social networking site then let him/her be.Give him/her the benefit of the doubt.

Personally I would find this a little odd as well. If they are not wanting to have any doings with you in person, and only on Facebook are they just trying to keep tabs on you so they can know how you are doing, or so that they can then judge everything and talk about you with others? This would truly bother me if it were me, and I would have to find myself confronting the other person and asking why only there do they want to keep in contact then?

I do agree that it is weird, I totally understand you! Someone add me even if they don't even know me, someone never talk to me even once. But even if they never talk to me but if they respond on my wall or do comments, it is still somewhat reasonable to add me as friends. But many of them add me and they don't even once, comments or like things I post, never post on my wall. So for that kind of people I delete them from my friend list. And still they sent friend request to me again. - -"

Most of my friend requests are just ike that. They add me, we have no friends in common, then they never say anything, leave a comment, or talk on chat. I don't know why they bother adding me.

i accept every friends request i get on facebook and they turn out to be a scammer then i remove them maybe he/she like to just be friends on facebook and the only way to know it would be to accept him/her and find out its feel odd if some one in our relative to whom we have never talk but know them want to be a friends on fb but i don't see any awkwardness in accept their request

I have relatives like that who are friends on FB. I don't have a lot of friends because I only accept requests from people I know in real life and relatives. I don't even communicate on FB with those said relatives but they are still there. I only accepted them because they are family even though I don't speak much to them in real life.

I tend not to add people on face book that do not bother with me, or people that i can not be bothered with.I find it alot easier to have friends that i see as well as that they are like me.I do not bother that much with facebook, but when i do i tend to see people that are trying to add me all the time.

Maybe this relative wants to keep a watch on you... Or just increase his/her friends list!! Depending on how their reputation is, you could decide whether to accept or not.. If you know this relative as a gossiper or backbiter or with a big mouth, just avoid the friend request. But if this person is sweet or nice person, you could add, maybe just limited profile..

hello allknowing, I don't easily accept FR in any social networking especially on facebook for a personal and security reasons if there is no info, photos but he/she left a message saying who is she/he maybe i can accept it but still it depends. If you think that this will be the start of having communication why not but still you must know what is the real reasons why he/she want to be on your fb list happy mylotting

I think every one is free to choose how you want to interact with people in your life. To only have friends on Facebook, can be a beginning to learn to interact with people. Perhaps the person needs to take it step by step to come back to life for a particular reason.

I find this typical of FB. Some friends on facebook have thousands of friends. no one has thousands of friends in reality. i find FB so far removed from reality as it is possible to go. I live on a small island and people that live on the island have friends on FB that also live on the island that they would walk by in the street with out any form of acknowledgement. On the plus side FB does do a lot to heighten awareness of important issues that a lot of people would otherwise be unaware of.

Some people just find it easier to communicate over the internet. That's why things like facebook and text messages are so popular. It's much easier to say something (especially if they are being rude or something) when you are not in person. We have become so used to dealing with friends and family is this way that this has become our primary form of communication. It's not really a good thing though. It's very awkard to only talk to someone online and then see them in person. I don't know, maybe you're relative just wants to be closer to you.

i reserve my right to only approve FR in FB for those people i personally know. even if they're considered long-lost friend already. ;-) as we know people or "freinds" in facebook get notified with the changes we make in our profile. as much as possible i only want people i know and not those strangers who just keeps inviting or sending friend request.
