How long do you keep FB friend requests in limbo?

S&D_2005

I had two people friend request me on FB. I've had them in "limbo" for about a week. I just can't commit to their friendship, I guess. lol. I don't add people to up my friend count, and I only accept friends that I actually talk to. One girl is a friend of SIL's, and she loves DD. So I guess she wants to be able to look at DD's pictures. The other girl I trained with for a month 5 years ago.

I feel bad not accepting them, but then again, I don't really talk to them, so why would I add them, kwim? Anyone else like this. Do you keep friend requests you are unsure of waiting for a while?

A couple of days, tops.  Then I just ignore them anyway.

Personally I judge it on first instinct. If they have been in limbo for a week then you probably shouldn't accept them JMO.

I get FB requests from like people in HS that I never even talked to back then...I ignore them.

Heads up if someone requests you and you leave them in you in box thay can see things you do. Like update your status and add new friends. Just so you know. And I think that have some access to things on your page like pictures. This I am not 100% sure of but the first part I know it 100% true.

There was some girl from college who I had in limbo for a month or more, I finally denied it and got another request.  She then started messaging me asking her if I remembered her and why I'm not excepting her (I think I got 3 messages).  I finally sent her a message saying I don't accept people that I don't talk to or are not family members, so I haven't heard from her since.

I think if you really don't want them to be friends, then deny them.  They probably won't be like the strange girl I mentioned.  If it were me I'd probably accept the first girl you mentioned (if you don't mind her looking at pictures of DD) and deny the second one.

Um, I can't see anything extra while awaiting a response to a friend request than I could before I requested it?

I keep getting requests from people with the same last name...pretty sure we aren't related since that's my married name. And I know they aren't related to DH.

I have the maximum privacy settings on my FB profile. So I'm pretty sure they can't see anything, not even my profile picture. And I always get friend requests because of my married name. I just ignore them.

I have a "friend" in limbo now (for about a week too). She was a girl Dh dated (ie slept with) so I refuse to friend her. I've only met her once. If that makes me a spiteful biitch I really don't care.

She has the nerve to friend you on FB? I think that's pretty ballsy of her. She's probably trying to get info on your DH through your profile. Deny away, my dear.

I usually know right away if I want to add them or not, so not long. There have been a few from people who were REALLY big douches in HS, and they are still waiting to be added/ignored (it's been at least 6 months since they requested.)
