Friends List envy?

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. :)

    Fear of rejection. Also I'm adding them slowly so as not to spook them.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
