Accept a friend that hasn't responded to you?

I usually accept them too. "A friend is a stranger that you just haven't met yet". Sometimes I will go thru my friends list and delete a few. I wish we had a way of organizing our list. It can get time consuming to find someone if you have a long list. I am not one that needs a long list of friends, some people like to have big numbers on their list.

A lot of friend requests that i have being getting lately are those that have seen my responses in thier discussions. Very few of them fall in the categories that you have mentioned. But i would accept the friendship request. Maybe later when i do my cleaning up here i would probably delete them, if the mututal inactivity remains.

I do this all of the time. It seems that they are trying to learn their way around here. Most of the time I never hear from them again. If they do something distasteful and vulgar, I can always delete them, the same if they spam me.

I accept them and I answer the discussions because frankly money is money but if I find that I have responded a lot to their discussions and they have never once responded to mine then I will delete them eventually.

I hate not accepting people Mom but too many times I have accepted someone I haven't seen around at all and regretted it when they have started spamming etc. Now I will deny if they are just all about making money or if they are one liners or spammers - otherwise I will either accept or sit back and wait to see if I have anything in common with the requestor before making a decision.

I except them and forget them, unless they start showing up in my or my friends' discussions.

Yes, I check out the people who send me friends requests, and if they haven't answered any of my discussions, or I theirs, or if they have 0 points, they're denied. Funnily enough, somebody responded to a discussion of mine last night, saying "signing off from Gatwick", so I checked their profile out and it turned out they live in the same county as me in England. It can be a small world, that's for sure, so I requested their friendship and they accepted. That's the way I feel friends should be made in here! They don't have to live closeby, but it's good when they appreciate you discussions or you theirs. Brightest Blessings my dear friend.

I'll go check and see how long they've been on mylot and if they have any simular interests

I no longer bother whether the friend has responded to my responses simply because I do not post discussions anymore. I just accept anyone who wants to be my friend. Why deny someone of friendship when all the person wants is someone to respond to his/her discussion. However, once the approved friend take advantage of the friendship and sends a private PM promoting his business, that's the end of the friendship. I simply remove him.

Hi raydene! haha..me too! I am wondering why I do the same thing. I have been receiving many friends' requests nowadays and I do check their profile upon the advise of a feloow mylot friend here to be careful on who we accept. But I do accept them anyway even though I have never came across them before here. However, most of them have never responded to my discussions nor have commented on my responses so what I am planning to do is to still give it some time, maybe a month or two before I delete them (hopefully I won't forget). I would rather have few friends here who have the courtesy to respond somehow. I do not expect that they will faithfully respond or comment to each and every discussion or responses I make but somehow they could respond at least a few times. Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

Hi, raydene! I do accept their friend request even though they have not responded to me. I just try to have as many friends that I can. I am unable to tell a lot about a person, I would have to meet them. So, I will just accept them as my friend.
