anyone else ever have this dilemma?....I keep getting friend requests from people I don't know...they are people that I know of in most cases, although one girl I have no idea who she is....(if any of you friend me....let me know your border name as I might not know your real name!)....I feel bad not friending these people but I don't know them....they are "friends" of people I know...I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings....it must feel horrible to send a friend request to someone and get turned down...

I figure if they feel bad, they can tell me who they are. Others, they just see on Facebook I might be someone they know because we have mutual friends and if I don't know who they are at all, then they can't be too upset. For the few that are tenacious about it, rather than block them, I just never respond. Keeps them from putting in another request as soon as I reject the previous one.

How do you post smilies in a Fb post?

[Freypower]

You can't. You can only post them in comments, not in a post. You have to use the key symbols i.e. & it will turn it into a smiley.

Sometimes there will be a friend request from someone who is friends with one of your other friends. If you feel you may have some things in common, you may want to accept. You can always UNFRIEND the person later if you find them annoying or posting too much, or whatever reason.
I don't think people "feel bad" if you don't accept the friendship..It could be that you just may not be on that much, but I agree that maybe it would be best to ignore the request, so you are not saying yes or no.
I like the friend thing kept to mostly people that I actually do know in person, but some are from groups, like here. Why feel bad not accepting? Everyone does it.. Just go with your instinct about the person.

TK, thanks for reviving that old post... Zelda, I have noticed that every time I post a comment (not a like) on the Steelers posts, I get friend requests from people. There seems to be people who hang out on public walls like that. Some are legitimate people who like what I post and check out my timeline (it's all public) and see I have the same interests as them, others aren't even into the Steelers. Some are into porn and trying to get me to click on links to websites, which I don't do, and some are probably people that know me, but since I have no idea who they are I ignore them. For me, my posts are public. If they want to read them they can. If I don't know them, I don't need their stuff coming into my Newsfeed, and friending them does that. If I put them on a list that I don't see their stuff, then there's no reason to friend them. Lately, some of these have made themselves Followers rather than friends.

I never feel bad about not accepting a friend request from someone I don't know, nor do I care whether it bothers them or not. If someone sends me a message explaining who they are and why they're asking, I will more than likely accept, depending on circumstance. I have actually made some good connections with people based on my decision to accept their request.

That's what I meant.

Thanks for the list VA!
