I sent a friend request to a guy that I like, and I know that he likes me back. He has like 800 friends, but he still hasnt accepted my friend request.

I thought maybe he doesnt go on facebook often, but then I saw that he posted a comment on a mutual friend's wall, so I know that he had to of seen my friend request.... Is he not friending me because he doesnt want me to see his wall or photos? But if he doesnt want me to see that cant he just adjust the setting so I get limited access?

Eh. Let it go for awhile. How long ago did you send a friend request?

When you sent it, did you send a message with it?

Does he know you are you? Is your FB profile photo a picture of you, or is it your cat or dog or something?

So many possibilities.

In the end, if he doesn't friend you, let it slide. Or, you could write him a message and tell him that you're wondering why he hasn't accepted your request yet.

If he's like most of my friends, he hasn't noticed it yet. Just because they are actively posting something doesn't mean they take the time to accept/reject friend requests just as regularly. Even my wife takes a month sometimes before she will go through her friend requests!

There's more to life than Facebook. So don't worry if a guy that you like hasn't accepted your "friend request." How would you have felt if he accepted your "friend request" and then decided to "unfriend" you?

Some folks spend way too much time posting trivial things on Facebook for the world to see. I don't want or need to know that my girlfriend's third-cousin scored 100,000 points on Bejeweled, or that her best friend from elementary school's nephew got wasted at wild party in Las Vegas, or that her aunt's bridge partner got a new cow in FarmVille. Similarly, my girlfriend doesn't want or need to know that I translated Utada Hikaru's "Arashi no Megami" for several of my Facebook "friends", or that I was a member of the "Dead Fukuzawa Society" fifteen years ago, or that I had chicken kelaguen for lunch last week.

While Facebook offers "groups" to narrow down its social network, I'm not going to spend a lot of time figuring out how to set it up or adjusting the privacy settings. And, other folks seem to have similar attitudes when it comes to Facebook...

Now, donie1.... come on.... Facebook is part of life for quite a few people.

Is it as important as our face-to-face interactions? Not unless we never have any because we're shut ins.

Maybe there is a "rule" that he follows. He needs to wait 21 days before accepting your friend request so he doesn't look so desperate.

Maybe we could start a drinking game where whenever someone mentions "Facebook," you take a drink; every time someone refers to being unfriended, you take two drinks...
