Do you wish that asking for friendship meant something?

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.

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.

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 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.

Hello Marguicha. I am one of those 'friends' who asked you for your friendship. I saw you somerwe in MyLot and I view your profile, I like it and send you a friend request. I didn't send you any messages, but I still like you. Sometimes people send friend requests just because they like you, and they want to have you in their friend-list, even they did not talk to you. My Lotters asking me for my friendship everyday - I accept they asks and I am 'chatting' only with 3 or 4 of them. Another people are just in my friend-list, but I don't comunicate whit them.

I think a "friends list" is kind of a misnomer, really. I prefer to think of it as a "contact list." I have myLot friends (and acquaintances) that have never requested friendship from me (nor I from them) but I regularly participate in their discussions because I find them interesting I do look at the friends list as a way to keep tabs on discussions where I'm likely to have an opinion or an interest in contributing, of course, and I'm glad to support those as much as I can. If someone feels that way about my discussions/comments and requests friendship from me, I'm happy to oblige. I don't expect them to tell me why they want to be my friend, though... if any sort of unappreciated behavior follows the request (such as spamming me via PMs), I simply delete that person. I try to be respectful of others' time and interests here and I appreciate the same in return

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.

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!

Hello my dear friend. Yes friendship does mean alot to me. You are an inspiration to me. I enjoy when I see you around mylot, I always like to say hello and make a cooment on your discussions. Your mylot friendship means alot to me.

Nah, it really doesn't, friends over the internet are not real friends
