Stop asking to be my friend !!!

You know, I considered posting a discussion the other day saying exactly what you just did!!! I logged on the other morning and saw that I had 21 friend requests. And would you believe that only two of those people only answered ONE of my questions? And at first, I would approve a friend request when the person answered one discussion. But then...that would be all that person would respond to. What's the point? I respond to numerous discussions that my friends post! I have my friends on notify to ensure that I do not miss discussions. Why are people requesting to be friends when they don't really want to be friends??? So, I am with ya sister! I do not want anyone to request friends with me unless they show an interest in my discussions and I can respond to their discussions. :)

i also have lots of invitations asking me to be their friend and i don't wanna be rude so, i try to accept them all. and i go back to them every now and then to try and read the discussions they've started and response to some interesting topics from their profile. it's better that way. it's nicer, too. that's why we have friends on our lists to make us connected,right?

hahahaha Minx I am glad they have decided to pick on you now and leave me alone lol well I like sharing with my Friends so I have referred them to you ( only joking) I know it can be a pain when they just won't accept deny

That irks me, too. Most of them just do it so they can send you a private message to invite you to their site or promote something or some other stuff like that. I've become very, very picky about who I approve as my friend because of that.

Why do you care who is your friend on here? Whenever I get a friend request, I always accept it. It's better to have more friends anyways!

I just want to say I found this discsussion very amusing. I am a member of a couple of online communities and I have a similiar problem. I get friend requests and if I accept them I get spammed. Sounds, like I can expect that to happen here as well. And I agree it is very annoying.

i have noticed this quite a lot lately, people ask to be my friend and I don't know who they are, or they have relied maybe to 1 or 2 discussions but as you know I don't post many. Then I reply to their discussions, get no response from them and do not get mine answered either. How can they call themselves my friend? Real friends are the nes who reply to discussions if they hve some knowledge of thesubject or something to say, not to just reply to anything. you are right it can be annoying.

ohhhhhh dear friend i know you are not being rude, and discussions like this one is just why we love you. I deny 9 out of 10 friends requests, because like you, i will not add anyone i feel i have nothing in common with, but whereas i deny without a second thought it seems to trouble you, i think thats becauseyou are a nice person stay lucky keep on posting

Same here. It's one thing if we have posted in several discussions together or they have posted in mine or me in theres but otherwise how do they know we'd share similar tastes? I accepted a lot when I first joined, now I'm more picky. I really need to go through my list and see who I really respond to when they post a discussion. Some I just don't and I know it. Sometimes they make great discussions it's just not something I'm interested in. For example "American Idol", could care less about it and other things like that. I don't care and wouldn't bother responding because I have no basis to. When I get a request now I look through their profile at once they have made and ones they have responded to. I then go from there.

Well they might be interested to know more about you. They may have liked your discussions and it's one way of showing appreciation.

i really dont consider this dicussion worth.....i thouht their would be somthing good...but this was just too rude

Will you be my friend? hehehe

A tad anti-social? LOL I guess a post is a posty though. I don't see the big fuss, is it THAT hard to press DENY?

well i only think you are overreacting about this... sofia

Dear minxy, when reading this, people might think you are rude. But I know you must be fed up. Anyway, what you can do is, let them be friends, watch their way, then slowly delete them. That's what I do. I had nearly 100 but now I reduced it to 40. Good luck.

Hushhh...too much!!!!

why we should such question being a friend he will not miss such a friends.. who is thinking that "stop asking to be my friend!" they will obey as a good friend!
