JoyfulMama Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Anyone know how friend suggestions work? I'm not searchable by anyone who doesn't already know a "friend." However someone new to FB popped up today, whom I am an acquaintance of. But I don't think we have any common friends. If he searched for me, would he potentially come up as a friend recommendation?

Dobela Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Have you ever emailed this person? FB often sugests looking for people in your email lists. Or, it could be that friends of your signed up as his friend and FB is just letting you know that someone who knows your friends has signed up and that you may want to befriend this person as well.

Homemama2 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Also if under your 'info' you share anything with the person (if you attended the same school, same work place etc.) I have had people pop up on mine this way (same college) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah C. Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 You would not pop up on this other person's recommended friends list unless you have friends in common and he can therefore find you on Facebook. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
