What if your Ex invites you on Facebook to be a Friend?

accepting and ignoring friends in facebook is your choice so whovere invites you to be their friend (your ex-bf / ex-gf) you can ignore them if you'd like to. well for a fact my ex wouldn't do that because he personally blocked me so as not to make his new gf jealous. but that's ok, i respect him and respect their relationship as well.

well, that all depends on the EX.. I am friends with 2 of my exes already on Facebook.. there is only one or 2 I might not be interested in hearing from. And of those 2.. I would except friendship from ONE of them... I like to remain friends with my exes.. After all I liked something in them to begin with to attract me.. If I can still be friends.. I do so. But sometimes relationships end bitterly and In that case I would just decline the friendship.

I had a situation sort of like that but my cousin looked up my ex and became his friend and invited me to be his friend. I am still debating on the whole thing but if old feelings my come up then it might not be best to accept.

I do not think he will find me in facebook as I had myself unsearchable.I blocked him too so that he will not get any information about me.

For me it depends on the situation how you break up with her/him. If you break up as a friend so theirs no reason not to be friend to him on face book. At least he/she is the one who invites you.

why not? as long the invitation means to 'keep in touch' not to make a relationship again.. cause i think one day, you'll need her/him again as a friend (my own experience) for those who want to decline the invitation, i guess you leave it unanswered

Hi. airshelia. I had this happen to me before. I declined it. I don't want to accept any friend requests from any of my ex boyfriends at all. It is never good idea to accept their friend request even if we are and are not married to someone else.

I don't add him if I think my feelings toward him will arise again if we have communications again but if not I add him. In my situations now we're friends in facebook of my ex.

well, you mentioned that under the circumstances, you feel that the feelings for him might arise again, in that case, I will not add him. But if you are perfectly sure that you have gotten over him, and him over you, then I don't see any reason why not. I am friends with most of my exes in facebook, I put there MOST, cause I have an ex who doesn't want to be friends with me, hehehe. I don't know his reasons, although I do respect it whatever it is. . I am happy with my relationship now, and I think it's the same for most them.

Oh, this isn't really complicated. :) I have my exes as friends in my fb account. One still gives me that pleasant and warm feeling each time we talk.LOL. B ut, I don't dwell on that feeling. It was just a temporary relief from my boring life since we agreed that we're not really meant for each other. (if we are, I will not be here in my husband's house). If you are not confident that you can resist playing fire with him, then just ignore his invite. It will never do him nor you any harm. If you do accept, be sure to no to fan that feelings you still have for him or you'll get burned. Goodluck.:)

For me why not if the tendency is friend only.

I would hit the delete button immediately. An ex is an ex for a reason and I would not like to share any of my new found happiness with him. Nor would I care what was going on his new life either. This only brings on further disruption, at least in my life it would.

If you don't really want to be contact with your ex then you should better leave the friend request unanswered. But I don't give much importance to facebook. I usually accept friend requests even sometimes from strangers. I don't even use facebook much other than for photos my friends upload there.

..for me, i will accept the friend's request, it might be biased but since i am a guy, i will definitely accept and approved it, even if still have or i no longer have any feelings for her..but for you, if you still have feelings for him, you can still accept the friends request, who knows you might be together again..=) however, if you have someone else with you and having communication with him will be a hindrance to your present relationship then it would be best to deny the request..

It's not weird,in facebook you can friend someone,only if he seems human (mass practic)

Since I'm already married, I would have to ask my husband first if it's okay with him to add my ex. Why? because this might become an issue between us and you know what will happen. He he. Second if that ex and I parted as friends and my husband approves that I could add him then why not. But if in case I'm still single and my ex wants to befriend me, then it'll be a no, no! The reason why you parted is because you want to end the relationship right? So why update him with your life now? He's a part of your past already and you already turned a new leaf. Meaning he's not part of the new chapter in your life anymore.
