Do I know you? ummmm... I don't think so

I would definitely ignore. I think some people do that just to have more neighbors in the facebook applications. LOL. But since I don't play any of them anymore, then I don't need friends that I don't know. Even if sometimes we have friends in common, I would still ignore their invitation if I don't really know them or I just know them by name.

it really depends on their profiles. alot of people look for friends there to meet people.. it IS a social network afterall. if theres someone i have things in common with.. i accept the invite and get to know them better and maybe make a new friend.. if there isnt.. i dont.

I don't get theese friend requests regularly. But when I do, I usually ignore them. If they have a name that rings a bell but I'm not sure, I send a message asking how they know me. If the answer is that they came across my name somewhere and that they do not know me, I apologize and say that I do not add people I do not know and ignore them after that. There is one person I have added though...we met while playing scrabble...but he's pretty quiet and I'm thinking of deleting him.

This doesn't happen to me that often. Most of the people I'm connected to that I don't already know personally, are friends of mine from over on Gather, and a couple from on here. They are connected to other people on Gather that I know, and that's how we find eachother on Facebook. When I get an un-familliar-looking friend request I go through their friends, and see how they could ahve found me.

Hello 34momma, I have receive several invites from people who I don't know. I just let it sit there and do not accept or ignore them for a long time. But after looking for common friends,I finally accept their request,anyway,I can choose what details to share with them before posting it. And I think they will be good neighbors to my games. Take care andhave funposting - red_amethyst

Well, I don't really mind to accept them if I do have a lot of free time. But for me, getting to know people is one reason I joined facebook. So, why not??

I actually do a little bit of both. I've ignored some as well as accepted others that I don't know. With a couple of requests that I did accept apparently they had gone to the same school as I did around the same time that I did. As I like to find old classmates I figured it might help in finding any that I might be looking for. As for the ones I ignored, well, not only did I not know them, they didn't even go to the same schools that I did. So, I didn't bother to add them as there wasn't any real reason to do so. Happy mylotting!

I''m probably NOT the right person to be asking as I don't do Facebook. I've heard of too many problems there to be interested. As for getting back in touch with old friends, there are many ways to do that!!! I didn't really care for most of the kids I went to school with. Those I did like, I've kept in touch with them over the years...originally via snail mail & now via email. I don't feel the need to announce to the world what I'm doing with my life. The emails are record enough. When I need to share pics, it only takes one email to contact everybody who might care. I saw on the news where a woman in Indiana had added an old boyfriend from high school to her page. She commented the other night that she was going to a concert & would check back in when she returned home. Fortunately, she had a nanny cam going in her home. Yes, the old boyfriend & a new friend of his broke into her home & took a lot of her electronic possessions. They've not been caught yet. She hadn't thought that a buddy from high school was casing her home & her Facebook page. My point...just because you knew & trusted someone in high school, it doesn't mean they are trustworthy now. So, I don't think you should trust those you think you know any more than those you don't know at all. I have seen people tell personal information on themselves that their Mother doesn't even know. I don't want to be tempted to be one of those people!!!

I usually don't get too many friend requests from people I don't know on Facebook. I try to be very low-key and only be active with people that I know, so most people that I'm friends with are people that I've grown up with or family. I've only had a couple requests from people that I don't know and I always refuse those because I don't want random people getting any information I have up, even though I really don't have any information that would be bad if anyone got ahold of on my facebook, either. xD

I have lots of those people. But it seems that they just add you by random. Me I don't add people I don't know and people even I know but not closed too. I even have three facebook account. And I add one for family only. two for friends, and three for people I just meet or friends online only. In that way I can keep my privacy.

Whenever I receive a request from an unknown person on face book or on any other social networking site, I check their credentials. I look at their page just to know what kind of person he is. If I find him to be a sort of person I dislike, then I would simply ignore him or her. Sometime they leave messages that they have seen my profile and they are interested in my, such people usually are spammers. They are seeking your friendship for some ulterior motive. The need your particulars for creating a duplicate id or for sending you some promotional mails that would flood your mailbox with unwanted mails. Sometimes they want to use you as a referral for some moneymaking website. Gays and homosexuals also see company of likeminded people. Usually, the messages at their page or the photos at their page reveal a lot about the person. You can know them by the type of friends they keep. If there is slightest doubt then it is best to ignore them.
