Is it shady if a person you are dating and considering entering a relationship with (though possibly they have other ideas) won't accept your facebook friend request. He has stated facebook is too much drama.
Does he use FB a lot? If so, then not accepting the request might be indicative of something (like, he doesn't want you to see what he's posting on FB or he doesn't want his other 'friends' to see the relationship). If he's not a frequent user, maybe he figures there's no point to it.
I don't think it's remotely shady. When I was dating, I did not want to be Facebook friends with someone I was dating unless/until we entered an exclusive relationship. My reasoning is: I want to get to know him (and vice versa) in the real world, not via the carefully curated images we put out there for everyone else to see.
And why would you need to be Facebook friends, anyway?
My husband didn't even have Facebook when we started dating. I eventually set up an account for him, and he uses it, but he probably wouldn't have one otherwise!

My partner of 17 years won't add me on f.book says it's workmates only..don't want to be added but he's taken the add friend button off and by accident I came across a secret twitter account 3 years ago he'd been tweeting the female workmates and her him upto 5 times a day and then I see he's liked all her pics on Facebook he's worked with her every night for 8 years and I'd never heard of her..astounded to find out he'd visited her at home when she had a broken leg the week I was in hospital with pneumonia and he couldn't visit me..I confronted him and he said she was just a work friend and he visited once with friends ..he has his phone tattooed to him and even at 3am if he goes to the bathroom phone goes too..and password ..he swears nothing happened but I know from tweets and he had her phone number and they txt and what's app and snap chatted each other..I gave him the benefit of the doubt and he eventually apologized after 2 years saying he had hurt my feelings and maybe over stepped the mark..I explained how disrepectful it was and he just had to be truthful about it and I wouldn't have had a problem..finally a few months ago I told him enough now take her off Facebook Twitter and delete number she's moved jobs and got a partner now. He did and hasn't added her but I know he's put the number back in his phone..I politely txt her several months ago for closure as my gut was saying somethings not right..she said ..he visited twice and both times on his own and her dad was there..nothing ever happened they were only ever friends..I thanked her . I asked him again about visiting and he sat and lied to my face..he went once ..oops twice but both times with 4 work mates all lads..I called him and he was gobsmacked..and said he didn't tell me as didn't want to hurt my feelings..now I can't believe a word or trust a thing he says .so it looks like he can keep his privacy on Facebook and change his status to single..I've never met one person he works with in 8 years so shady ..sneaky I think so..welcome to Facebook and a single life mate have fun ..fake a life !

When lying comes naturally, there's always a logical story, usually ending with: "and that's why YOU'RE the crazy one."
Lesson learned, trust your instincts, it's no fun to live with someone you're suspicious of anyway, concrete proof or not.
My friend is doing online dating right now. She has guys wanting to add her to facebook before they have even met. It seems they just want to keep adding to the friend list or something. I mean why add someone you haven't even met yet? She said she wouldn't accept anyone's friend request until they were actually friends. But people put way too much emphasis on this stuff. it really doesn't matter. I don't think my husband even has one picture of me on his, he barely uses it and it doesn't bother me.
