Do you wish that asking for friendship meant something?

I do the same as you, i delete about 6 a day! LOL! I don't use notifications so It doesn't bother me! I only have a few select friends here and you happen to be one of them! Sorry I didn't pm you explaining why I wanted to be your friend!

Probably the term 'friendship' is used a bit loosely here, at leat initially. Mostly it is a 'Do you want to see each others posts?' sort of question. Ultimately through discussions and responses a real friendship can develop. I feel sad when I go through my friends list and see the names of people with whom I had enjoyed responding to their discussions, and now it's been months since they've had any activity. Some had unique ideas, though-provoking discussions or a wonderful sense of fun.
Most of the time I leave them on my list, hoping they've taken a 'sabatical' and will be back. They don't do any harm in just sitting there. For the same reason, I leave all of them 'notify on'...that way if and when they come back I will know about it. There's lots of reasons why some one might be gone for a while. Divorces, children, moving, new jobs, etc. I just like to sort of 'leave a light on' for their return.

I think it takes two to make a friendship. I have become friends outside myLot with several of the Lotters who were once just 'names on a list'.

I accept most of the requests that I receive and most come from new users who ask for information and help in PMs. However a lot of them give up and I am continually removing them from my list if they disappear and stop being active. I usually go through the earlier pages at the beginning of each month and remove those that no longer have a profile.

I accepted all the invitations from mylot friends and responded to PMs. I am not choosy as long as they wanted me to be included in their friends list or make friends with me-- i appreciated the effort for inviting me. I am so please when mylot members accepted my invitation too so it's a two-way process. i check on them once in awhile wondering why they are not active but i understand-- they maybe busy or attending to some of their priorities and hoping that soon they will be active again. I never delete any accepted friends in my friends list. i am happy seeing my friends list increasing.

Hi,marguicha,so you are cleaning your mylot house.I think we can't judge or expect them while they send friend request,whether they are true or pretending true...After few days,we slowly understand who is what,and by the time you recognise,you seniors like mysdianait..tdmex...stephcjh..know what to do.
I strongly believe that i will be one of your real friend's list definitely after your cleaning process.
Have a clean and fine mylot house.bye.

hi marguicha I am picky in that if the person only wants to use me for referrals to those miserable ptc sites,no,she or he is not a friend, if they ask for friendship because they and I have been responding to each other for some time I accept at once. I am keeping most on as I know from my own experience that they may be away,having family difficulties or what have you, so they may come back and are always welcome back. they are all my friends unless they prove otherwise.

Hi my friend. I have some friends on My Lot that are my favorites. I know what their first name is, which country thy live in and a few things about them. I have 'notify on' signs for those people. I like to get some pm from my friends. Some friends I had are no longer active on My Lot. Some of my old friends have left My Lot. I have a few friends on My Lot that have written thousands of posts. I read, with much interest what they have written. I think your idea of a pm to a new friend is an excellent idea. Hug. Maxine

I used to read some of their discussions and answer them before accepting their friend requests, but I don't really have time to do that any more. I usually just approve them now, mostly just for time's sake. But sometimes if I see someone reading my stuff a lot I will just approve them right away, or I will request from them, I normally don't request unless I see them on my stuff a lot.

HI MY FRIEND, I am the same way. I wonder why they ask to be your friend & then u never hear from them. They do the same on facebook. I think it really wierd.I like talking to my friends. Have a great weekend.
