NO, ya idjit, im asking "Thanks for the friend request but would you mind telling me why exactly it was sent? If its for a game please tell me which one as I play a few different ones on FB"
Amazing how this has confused and stunned so many.

Well, many of us never play games... and many of us only are friends with people we know in real life.
No need to resort to name-calling! Open yourself up to other possibilities!
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?
I tend to overanalyze it and be bothered by it too, especially if someone who I thought I had a good relationship with adds other people I know but not me. I try to search my brain to figure out what I could have done to tick them off. My inclination is not to confront them about it. However, if they cannot decide in one week whether to add me or not, and it's obvious they are active on the site, then I just cancel my request. I coined a term for this..."addxiety!"
I have a Facebook account but I rarely access it. So yeah a friend request may go ignored for weeks or even months sometimes. It's no reflection on the other person. I just don't care about Facebook and only keep my account because of certain family members. I was on there last Christmas and I got a couple of IM's saying "OMG Fiona's on Facebook" LOL I am sure there are others out there like me. If the pending friend request bothers you, just close it out and move on and try not to take it personally.

Over analyzing this for sure.
I'm as slow responding as cold mollasses going uphill in Jan.

Oh gosh, I don't know, maybe I'd quit using Facebunk the way I did years ago because no one on there is really your friend at all and it's just an empty mouse-click gesture that means nothing 99% of the time. If you actually know the other person... personally, what do you need Facebunk for anyway? Here you are getting all worked up about being ignored on there, why not just call the other person and actually TALK TO THEM? Oh, wait, do you have their number in the first place?
It could be the very thing you are wondering. They don't like you enough to want you in their Facebook.
So what??
Focus on the ones who HAVE added you and like you. You had a picture of you guys being friends on Facebook and they are missing out on that. Could've been interesting. Their loss.
And again, this is only assuming the worst-case assumption is even true. Even if this is the case, still doesn't matter.
I have a huge list of friend requests that I have not responded to. I doubt any of them are offended, but who knows? I do think its an odd thing to worry about. Most of my FB friends are family and people from past places I have lived whom I no longer see on a regular basis. This is how I keep up with them. If I did not know you well, or we didn't really connect on some level I am not likely to friend you if you send a request.
Most of my good friends where I live now are not FB friends of mine, nor me of theirs. We live our friendship in real time without snapping group selfies every time we are together and then posting it so the world can see how awesome we all are
