requesting to be put on friends list

I have over two hundred on my list. Most have requested to be put on my list, I have approved all of them. I spend most of my time here in the topic "discussions my friends started" that way I get a variety to choose from.

Very rare that I requested friendship on mylot. this is because I read many topics saying that they deleted their friends because their friends never replied to their topics. I really don't think this is what mylot friends are all about. I have more than 100 friends, only 5 ever responded to my topics regularly and I never complain about the rest because I myself don't have much time to spend here and I don't respond to topics I don't find interesting or I know nothing about even if they are my friends' topics. If I ever requested friendship on mylot, usually because the person responded to my topic and I like the response, or because I responded to their topics and I like their comments or they gave me BR so I know we do think alike. I don't think I ever denied friendship requests, but I might months ago I forgot now.

It would be nice if everybody on the friends list who asked would post to at least one discussion, just like you said. I don't get why you'd want to be onto somebody's friend list if you didn't care enough for their discussions to chip in an opinion here or there. I know my mailbox gets filled everyday with multiple discussions. Depending on how busy my day is I will try to answer at least a few. I haven't been on myLot for about a week to answer anybody's questions anywhere, so I'm spending this afternoon going through my friends lists and trying to answer one, two, or more from each person. Erratic, I know, but sometimes it's the best I can do with the time I have, but at least I'm trying:o)

You are right my friend, I rarely make a friend's request but I saw what a good mum you are and want to learn from you ll, also the fact that my big sis has moved to the U.S and has married an American and guess where she lives? Lexington South Carolina lol, she has become a right redneck lol..I love them, even id politically we may frazzle a bit hehehe

I do believe that myself. I don't request to be put on a friends list very often but I have a lot that have requested to be put on my list and I don't get any responses to my discussions from them. I think that makes it kinda one sided. I have been thinking about turning the notifications off on those who don't respond to my discussions at all.

I've got a couple of friends like that too, that have asked to be friends, but never responded to my discussions, and I don't even have that many. It's kind of rude, to not even answer one. At least I have some good friends,who not only have good discussions, but they respond to mine sometimes. It's just like being appreciated.

I get those all the time requesting to be a friend and dont even here from them anymore,i said i wasnt going to delete but its to the point where they dont even bother,so why request to be a friend,i thought you may found something interesting ya know.

I make a friend request after finding a rsponse to my discussion and going to view some of the persons interests and discussions. then the friend request is so that I will get e-mails of when they start discussions. I ususally response from an e-mail or from being in the discussions my friends started section. If the person does not start a discussion that interests me I will not respond. If they don't start discussions very often I may not remember to go and check. I am part time here so can only see and do so much. Maybe now I may regret my friend request. Oh well!!
