    I recently noticed someone FR'd a ton of my friends...She is on my FL...I find this a bit annoying.
    I wish I had the courage to ask her what her deal is..I feel like Im being copy catted.
    Im way cooler and funnier than said girl, so Im not in fear of losing my Ppl..Im just aggravated that she doesnt have any thing better to do, than follow me round.

    I don't think that's working the way you think it is..

    Just posted about this on my wall.

    I LOVE my FL. But I see lots of mutuals that I'd like to be friends with as well. I just don't want t seem like a collector, or disappoint anyone who wants a lot more interaction than I can provide.

    Here's something I have to say about deleting people and then not responding to their PMs for an explanation:

    Some times it's hard to say, "I wasn't feeling what you said/did/etc." without getting in to the down and dirty of your own psyche. Usually when I delete someone it's because of my own craziness and not necessarily something they've done. BUT, then, later, I some times second guess my decision to have deleted someone, but I feel like it's too late to go back and make things right, so I just sit around wondering if I'm ever going to get the balls to just talk it out and see what happens. I was on the weird *kitten* end of a friend deletion "thing" and it felt ... well... weird. And it made me not want to add or delete anyone ever again.


    Fact is - even people who are cool have insecurities and their own mental crap... so hopefully there aren't a ton of hard feelings out there, because we're all battling our own demons.

    It was hard for me when you deleted me, but then I thought, SELF, maybe you annoy the crap out of her.
    LOL.

    it's all good...we all have our reasons why we do and dont want people on our list

    If this were happening to me, I would probably check my own friends list. Just to make sure they weren't jumping ship and friending that OTHER person and defriending me.

    But that's just me. I'm sure nothing of the sort has been happening to you.

    And I know you'll find the courage to ask. I believe in you - you can do this!

    Someone needs to mention, it is not the SIZE of the friend's list, it is the quality.

    I'm shy and have a fear of rejection. :sad:

    I wouldn't reject you! :love:

    I don't send out FRs very often. I recently sent a FR to someone who's profile I liked, and who had mutual friends. I sent a small paragraph saying why and made a joke, and got a bit annoyed when I was declined, only because I made the effort to read their profile and relate to them. There should be a message box when accepting/declining FRs. (or maybe that would be a bad idea)

    Also because I am awesome and they totally missed out. *kanyeshrug*

    Have experienced that and certainly not pleasant. However, you don't own a copyright on your friends!

    I don't mind sending FRs. I'm stockpiling friends so I will have lots to eat in times of famine when all the cavemen are in short supply. *t Rex burp*

    To be honest, I just don’t want to be thought of as a "creeper". I am only interested in meeting people who are on the same journey as myself and its very difficult to determine who is who by reading a simple profile. I have a lot to learn after being out of the gym while raising kids and doing my best to get caught up.

    i admit i'm guilty of that worry too. i mean... i'm in my mid-40's, so it just feels weird to send a FR to a woman in her mid-20's. i always picture them thinking i'm some sort of creepy perv just for sending the FR.

    there are some creepy pervs on here for sure, i just don't happen to be one of them. i blame my upbringing.:frown:

    As a woman in her mid-late 20s' I was tres delighted when I discovered you weren't a creeper and indeed a clever, awesome addition to my FL :flowerforyou:

    How about a playwright? Can I force them to sing duets on Broadway together? Dressed in costumes from Cats? And take definitely not creepy pictures of them in compromising positions?

    Sure, there are people I think about sending requests too, and then don't. No idea why. I am pretty awesome. Maybe because I'm shy and kind of a private person? Not sure.

    Maybe I should follow someone around and copy cat their friends list. Someone who is way cooler and funnier than me.

    I never do.

    I fear the wrath of strangers on the internet.

    Do you *know* they declined or did you *assume* they declined? I've heard a few times that someone thought they sent a FR to me but I never received it. I'm not entirely confident in MFP's ability to deliver all of the FRs.

    Assumed. Because I had saw they added someone after I sent my FR. And I don't want to be That Person who sends a message asking why I can't hang out with them.

    But I did send a different one to someone who I comment back and forth with on mutual friend's posts, that never got accepted which kind of baffled me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was MFP who effed that one up.

    The one FR that I've sent that I never got a response on (and assumed it was rejected) was one sent at a time when MFP was being glitchy. I'm really hoping they never got it, because I had a very well placed Kate Upton boob gif that I thought for sure was a home run.

    Must've been a glitch because no one in their right mind would reject a FR like that.

    *edit* I just went to hit post reply and my connection timed out. Did you call MFP's mom a b*tch or something? It must have a grudge against you.

    The only reason I know MFP doesn't deliver FRs is if there is a swear word in the request.

    I have missed a bunch of mine because of that. :/
