friends on facebook

not that i get that many friend requests, but i generally have to know the person before i add them unless it is work related.

first, i always see is he/she have mutual friend or not. if stranger, i prefer not accept him/her as my friends.

Me I only accepted being that are part of mine and my husbands family. I do accepted very few people as my friends that are friends and I have to know them know them and they have to know me know me other wise then that I don't accepted there requires. For me its not about the number I'm a mom and wife so it really doesn't matter to be and even when I started having an account when I was 17 it wasn't about the number either.

I only friend people I know, or have spoken with online for a long time. I really only got into facebook when I was pregnant because a lot of my family was on it, and it was the easiest way to keep people who wanted to know informed.

When I first started myspace I added every person that wanted to add me. I guess on that site all I was looking for was number. I wanted to have the most amount of friends. On facebook it is different I only add people that I know. Every now and then I will add a person that I have a lot of people in common to get to know them.

I don't accept people I hardly know on facebook. I have to facebook accounts. I have my personal account and business account. On my personal account, I only accept my real friends that I know or classmates in grade school, high school and college. But on my business account, I always accept except males coz I am selling fashion clothes for women only.. :-)

When I first joined facebook I used to accept everybody. I guess I am mature now and only accept people I know, I mean, I don't have anything to say to those people that I do not know, so not confirming them as friends makes a lot of sense.

Hi Lamineramzi, It depends on what you're looking for. If you created an Facebook account because you want to keep in touch with your friends and family and keep them posted when something meaningful happens to you, then you wouldn't want everybody to read all your thoughts and to know all the private events in your life. On the other hand, if you're just looking for meeting more people and socializing, then you can accept all the requests. But if you choose the second one, remember not to share all your thoughts in there. Never write on your wall things like "I'm leaving for two weeks on vacation". You might find your apartment empty...My suggestion would be to keep the number real. Keep you friends closer and ignore the strangers. You never know who's behind a computer! Good luck! Sandy Belle
