I guess it depends how active they are on Facebook. I go through periods of sending out a handful of requests bcs of that "people you may know" thing. But then I don't remember who I sent them to, so I don't bother getting upset if someone doesn't friend me. But in a situation where I'm in semi regular PHYSICAL contact with the person I guess it would bug me. A friend of mine (who is not very active on FB) didn't accept my husbands FB request and it kind of bothered me. Bothered my hubby too, but I explained how little they are on FB.
I experienced this with one dude and was shocked that he never accepted my request. LOL Then I thought about it, he has not really been around me since 1989 but I still thought he knew who I was since we were in elementary school together
When I had a the face book. I accepted the people I know, but I did not request or accept from co workers or from people I cannot remember or directly no contact. Since I have started my Facebook I send only one request that is to my bother. No FB any more no drama either. But some people wont hang on FB as some other people do. Even I had a smart phone I did not have fb on my phone. I checked everything when I go to my PC so it possible people who you send request did not see it yet.
It would bother me in the sense of " why are you ignoring me?" but i wouldnt make a huge deal. They dont want to talk to me or be friends fine, but at least have the balls to say " ya know OhKy, now just isnt a good time".

Yep, one of my best friends from childhood denied my request four years ago. Not just ignored it.. Denied it. . Her, me, and her older sis were all best friends. We lived across the street from each other. For maybe a year.
Her older sis accepted my request and was happy to...but her memories seemed more distant than mine. Turns out she has done a TON of traveling in the last couple of decades, and more has happened to her.
Everyone's perception is different. And things change. Someone I thought I had a pretty good FB friendship with just deleted me. I am not sure exactly when though. I just happened to notice I hadn't seen him post in a while. I knew him in 3rd and 5th grades. We got along online great. *shrug* Guess he just decided to clean up his friend list for whatever reason. People change. I did that a couple years ago. Unloaded a lot of people I didn't talk to much.
Long story short, don't take it personally, its not important.
One was a former co-worker, one was an old boyfriend, and two were people I vaguely remember from high school. I don't dislike any of them, just don't want to be FB friends with them.
Another was a current co-worker, and it's my personal policy not to be FB friends with current co-workers.
What would you do if you friend requested someone on FB... maybe a friend, acquaintance, coworker, & they "ignored" you or hadn't added you? Or if their Friend Request said "Friend Request Pending" But you saw them every once in awhile. I know FB isn't a big deal, but would it bother you? Would you close out the "friend request?" Am I overanalyzing this?
You have to realize that many limit their friends to very close friends and family because that is why they joined.I wouldn't think anything about it and if I did then I'd ask them; plain and simple.
