To accept or not to accept- That is the question

Hi sol-cee-san! I probably missed that post so I'm not sure of the entire situation. Is it that this girl seems to be around your brother so much - and now family too - but it is difficult because you are not there? Or maybe there is something about her you do not approve of? It's hard to judge situations based on FB photos and posts - it might not tell the whole story - all may not be as it seems. But she is reaching out to you . . . maybe it would be good to get to know her and give it a chance? And if you end up not liking the exchange, you can always unfriend her.

I do remember your post about your brother but I think it is good that they are still together and he isn't just flitting between a bunch of girls like most students do. I remember you didn't want him saying and wanting him concentrating on his school work though.

My son has the same Jansport backpack...

I think you should accept her request, you can always unfriend her if something goes wrong.

I'm not sure of the background here but perhaps you should take this chance to get to know her better.

I'm not sure what's wrong with it. Over affection is not a crime. Try to give the girl a chance. Maybe you will like her better once you known each other.

If you don't really like here and you want her to feel that then ignore the request. Now, if you want to pretend you are friendly then accept but then you can unfollow her posts so you don't get to see all her posts.

Why on the first place you don't like her. Is she a snob? But your brother loves her though. So, you should accept her friend request.

I have friends request from people who brought me so much anguish ... I ignore them .. lol ..

Well...she has taken the first step in trying to get to know you. And if you accept her request you could finally find out what she is like for yourself and not just through photos. @sol_cee you could put your detective skills to use. :)

I remember your post. I'm sure having a gf will not interfere with his studies. Accept her as a friend. She may be very nice.

throw further, reach the back of the gods. if i am sent a FB friend request, i would check if i know the person well but if she just wants to befriend me because she is the GF of my son, i would not accept her. 'ano, sipsip?' hahaha!

We have the same issue with my Brother's relationship. He is with a transgender. At first I don't like the idea then one day that transgender woman sent me a friend request, I don't like her in my friend's list. And hey, I just found myself chatting with her every now and then. She even call my mom, mama. See? Lol

I would accept it if I was in your place. Give her a chance ....try to get to know her...maybe you might like her too.

Since she may end up being your sister in law I would advise proceeding in a friendly manner, if they break up you can unfriend her.

Be her friend on facebook.

I think you should accept her as part of the family, as it looks like your brother is serious about her.

Perhaps she just wants to get to know you .

I would probably accept it. One can always ignore her posts. I am not the right person to advise though. I almost never log into Facebook and have no idea what people are posting there.

Just accept her. Who knows she might be your sister-in-law soon, and then you'll be close if you are friends on social media.
