Hi everyone! I am feeling a bit bad about myself tonight. I think I might have forgotten something important or a responsibility here in mylot today. Well, not only today but for several months now. It has been months and I haven’t accepted any friend’s request and the number of pending requests have reached 85 already when I saw it last night. But now its 84 and I guess one user has decided to delete his/her request. It’s not that I don’t want to make friends anymore. Before, I used to accept friends immediately. I never check their profile and don’t even bother to check if their active or not. I don’t even mind whether they respond to my topics or not. I accept friends because I feel they’re nice. I just had to stop accepting friends way back several months ago cause’ many just wants to send private messages and promoting their online earnings. Some made the requests but weren’t active here in mylot. Some even stopped posting after sending the request. I know cause I check on them every once in a while cause I still have plans to accept them if they become active. I don’t know but I’m feeling a bit guilty and sad now. I feel I want to say sorry to whomever the user is who deleted the request. This may not be a big deal to everyone but to me it is. He or she may have gotten tired of waiting. I just hope there are no hard feelings. I was also gone for almost 3 months and it has only been 3 days since I started participating here again. Maybe now I’ll give attention to those who sent the request and see if I can accept some. What would you feel if someone deleted his/her friends request to you? Do you just accept a friend request immediately irregardless if the user is active or not? How important to you are these requests as well as your friends whom you have already accepted? Please share your thoughts!

i do agree some of these requests are irritating but some are really genuine ones.i am not able to differentiate between them,so i accept all friends requests and i try to ignore those private messages which has refferral link in them.

Yeah I have done it several times too.. Ignoring messages asking for referral exchanges. I used to entertain them but I think others just wants to promote their site and they don't really want to be friends with me. Mostly those are some of the very recent users that I have accepted as friends. Happy posting!

i never be late at all for accepting friends, the day i see that (1) besides 'Friends' heading, i accept them coz here we dont need to know too much in detail who they are, what are they doing, and how they are personally etc etc, here we are linked only for discussions and responses, if at all any one of them try to come closer through private messaging or lie that way then i go to profile to chek who the person is, what is his/her age etc...coz that is a personal matter for me and then if i feel that person to be nice then only i proceed otherwise i stop responding to them.

Hi! You have a point there.. Maybe you are right that we don't really need to know too much about them. Maybe they don't want to know much about us too. I just feel more comfortable accepting friends whom I have encountered in discussions more often. Through that I feel like I know them more though not really personally. Happy posting!
