Just delete, why ask others? If she notices, explain why. Chances are she wont even notice. I'd be more concerned about why this is even a dilema for you?
People keep saying to get off FB but, I like it because far flung relatives posts pictures and comments about their lives and I enjoy seeing it. That is why I stay. I have very little personal info on there.
I have a max of 5000 friends on 2 fb pages (gamer) and I quit playing...so now I have 10000 people I don't know on 2 accounts I can't remember the passwords to! None of them were friends but one, and he has my phone number, lol...go figure, one out of 10000 is actually a friend!
I even write letters still sometimes or handwritten cards. But, I don't get back pictures and responses like we did back in the 1950's, even 1960's. Also, it is often hard to catch them on the phone with the busy lives people lead.
NO, FB is okay if used judiciously and with some common sense. You are the person that has to control your interaction with FB. But, I do know it can get away with you. Just like the gamers and message board posters have to.
I could spend hours just surfing the net, linking from one site to another, soaking up all the knowledge, good and bad.......I am an information junkie and have to really watch myself.
I am still Facebook friends with this girl that I talked to almost a year ago.
But now whenever we cross paths with each other, she did not say hi. Yet we are still Facebook friends. Moments like this just get kinda awkward for me and i did not understand why she would not verbally recognize my presence. Now i'm actually contemplating deleting her from my friends list.
Has anyone else been in such a situation?
People put too much emphasis on Facebook being everything. If/when a person you're supposedly friends with no longer acknowledges your presence, it is time to go your separate way. When you finally delete her from your buddy list, there is a real good chance she won't even notice. If she does, she probably won't care to mention it to you or anybody.
People who work PR or in the media use FB for professional reasons. She probably added you to increase her social media reach. My guess is that she adds anyone and everyone she can. Friend requesting you was nothing personal.
I realize why she did it. That is why I mentioned she wrote for the local newspaper. I didnt take it personal, I found it amusing really and typical. She obviously sucks at PR if she can't simply wave back to someone in her neighborhood.
This may or may not be relevant but she's from a sorority.
I have nothing against people in the Greek community.
