HappyLady Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Facebook. I really like being in the various groups I'm in and keeping up with friends, but I can't join a group or comment on anything without getting a friend request from someone I don't know. And they never send a message with their request like, "Hey, I see we have similar interests and thought maybe we could be Facebook friends." Instead, I just get a friend request and then I have to figure out who they are and why they'd possibly want to be my friend. Does that happen to anyone else? Most of the time I ignore them, or I add them and delete/block them after a period of time. I'm not on there to bulk up my friends list, you know? Today I got a friend request AGAIN from someone I had ignored just last week. Do they think because they sent another request that NOW I'll friend them? Ugh.

Unicorn. Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, stop being so likeable! Start being a little more snarky and maybe they'll stop asking to friend you. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elinor Everywhere Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I ignore requests from people I don't know. Facebook asks if you know the person in real life, and I click "no". Then I do't see anymore requests from them. I'll get 2-3 requests a month from friends of friends, but I ignore them all. If I don't know you, you obviously are not my friend! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 No, it doesn't happen to me often. Apparently, my ice queen facade transcends the internet. I've been told by people, including ex-boyfriends and my husband, that I don't exude approachability ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeterbug Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I wish there was some requirement that they had to send a message/intro with their request. We have a homeschool facebook group and we keep getting spammers. We can't know until they join the group and start posting. It's annoying.

Guest Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Oh, but there are so many other great things to dislike about FB! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I used to get one but really I don't have this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 No, but I set my privacy settings super high. It's either that or nobody's interested. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
