When someone you know doesn't accept your Facebook friend request

[Disneychick75]

I've sent 1 or 2 friend requests and both were accepted. Today I received a request from someone who is friends with some of my FB friends but I don't know them so I did not confirm. I have a bit over 200 friends. Most of them I am "friends" with but don't follow.

I chose other because I'd do nothing.

I've got 8 friend requests from people I knew many years ago that I'm ignoring. I don't have to be facebook friends with everyone I know - especially people who were not very nice or old boyfriends or relatives I don't like.

This. I've got 20 Friend requests in limbo. I'm very private and even considering unfriending some family.

I wouldn't do anything, but I don't send very many friend requests anyway. Some people get a lot of requests and just don't look at them often. Some people may only want to be friends with their family or whatever. I don't accept all requests that I get, for different reasons. I have used whatever the choice is that makes them unable to send any more requests a few times, too.

Same thing I do when a Friend unfriends me, nothing. No big deal.
But my FB page was set up as a requirement of my job to post links to news stories on our website.
Any real friends are people who found me on FB and sent a Friend request.
And one or two of those real friends have unfriended me because they don't want the posts I am required to post for work on their time line.

Some folks get around that by having a Professional and a Personal FB page. Too much bother for me.

I have no compunction about ignoring friend requests and don't care if others ignore mine. In my professional life, I have a policy that I am not FB friends with coworkers. My office has folks ranging in age from 18-65 and entry-level to senior management in a very small group. I neither need nor want to know their business, nor do I want them knowing mine outside of work. I've seen chaos and drama come from FB fights among coworkers. It's debilitating in a small office. I'm fine with sharing info at work where it's better controlled but not online. Too much room for misinterpretation.

Move on

If it's someone I'm close to I might drop a hint or resend. But in general I don't really have an issue. I don't really friend a lot of people anyway. Because of a hobby of mine - I get a lot of friend requests from people I don't know. I delete almost all of them - so I can't really complain if my request gets ignored lol

It can't hurt to give them a second chance to be your friend. But after 2 tries, I would stop trying to get them to be my friend.
