ok, serious thread this time...
do you ever look at your friends' walls and see people posting on there that you'd like to be friends with too, but to whom you have never sent a friend request?
if so, why not? are you waiting for them to initiate it? are you worried they might not accept your friend request? do you already have too many friends?
just curious.
i guess i do have a few people i'd like to be friends with that i haven't sent requests to. the only reason i can come up with is that i have about a 33% rejection rate for the 15 or 16 friend requests i've sent in my time here and i think if i sent a friend request and they rejected it, i guess i'd feel weird interacting with them on the forums in the future. i can't be the only one who doesn't send requests for that reason, can i?

I send friend requests to people all the time when I like what they comment or post, that includes on my friends statuses.

Story of your life I suppose0 -
Fear of rejection. Also I'm adding them slowly so as not to spook them.0
-
Ehhh...if I find someone intriguing I will send one. No big deal either way though. I haven't came across anyone so creepy that I've rejected them yet.0

Nah.
Most of us are grown adults..0 -
Hi
I think for me its a matter of quality over quantity, a few good friends will suffice on here. Depends who much time you have.
When it comes to adding others I am a bit tentative as past experiences have shown that my personality is judged on many grounds, which i pretty offensive really as the person doesn't really know me.0 -
I try not to be such a wuss personally.0

Nah.

I beg to differ...have you seen some of the ridiculous rules some people have for FR??!0 -
I don't like to send FRs because if someone declines me I have to put them on my list, harass them, make them cry, make them sorry they ever declined me. It's just too much effort.0
-
Yes. Because of fear of rejection. There, i said it. The cool kids intimidate me.
Now let's all go back to thinking I'm cool. Kthanks.0 -

Haha...that!!!0 -
Well I really don't FR because of these threads now.
I said I'd bang every single one of you and it seems awkward now. It's like the 2 day rule.0 -

i may delete you so i can get harassed.0 -
Fear of rejection runs deep...I blame it on my childhood full of abandonment, neglect, and of course....rejection. The internetz is a scary place. Hold me.0

If I find someone interesting, funny, intelligent, or I just think their smokin' hot and want to talk dirty to them, I don't see any reason not to FR them.
are you calling me a wuss?

No because if someone declines me, I just message them asking them if they need a pet. Then they accept. Who doesn't love pets?0

that's actually not a bad idea.
1) replace avatar with sad puppy
2) send out friend requests
3) message anyone who rejects with "why do you hate puppies?"0 -
Huh....I just don't like anyone.0
-
I have no problem sending. If I see positive people or come across a fellow nerd.0
-
I do mutual underwear exchanges. So those who are on my friends list exchanged underwear with me and proved themselves worthy.0
