So generally...

[loveflower]

how long does it takes for someone to accept your FB friend request?

 

I don't request often so not sure.

 

Thanks for your input in advance.

Assuming they are active on FB, immediately .... 1-2 days tops.

Please don't pin your hopes on that one guy accepting. You've built up a fantasy about him.

 

Get out and about. Meet people in other ways.

If I get a request based on a few witty comments I made on a group page and I have no idea who they are I can leave them hanging indefinitely. I'm not here to entertain someone. I agree with MidWestUSA, get out and meet real people.

2 years+. My mother in-law sent me one 2 years ago. I haven't accepted yet :-)

Yes, that's the stuff right there. I've got one from my brother's girlfriend's mother which is just hanging there. Never met the woman. Maybe I'm appealing to the cougars... now there's a new direction to explore...

5+ years - my 'best' friend in university - finally decided to delete the request. I don't hate her or anything, I just don't feel like connect with her.

 

I asked 'generally' not exception

yes...I've built up...that's why I did what I did to solve the issue to face the real music.

 

I am idiosyncratic...I turned from guys away I didn't have a instantaneous feeling.

 

I just changed my profile to a hot pic... ...just to show that guy I can get handsome guys if I want to.

 

He is actually not that handsome. I just feel some kind of connection about this person.

 

the reason I built up was large also because I thought he like me and I messed up. now it seems the impression was wrong.

 

I FEEL FREE NOW!

Ok - I deal with them as I see them pop up - generally. My wife not so much. She will let them hang for a few weeks until she decides what to do with them.

I think it can depend on how close you are (if that's the right word on social media) to your friends, and how much private stuff you have on your profile. I tend to only accept friends if I've been talking to them for a while in a group or shared page, and I feel some kind of connection.

 

Some people I know will add anyone the second they get a request and they have 1500 friends or more. Feels more like a grab for attention though. I'm much more private than that. It depends on the person.

yes. and no.

 

just talked to a friend who was an immediately in FB when she was here in north America. she told me it's very difficult to access FB now because FB is banned in the country she is now living in.

 

the guy is a globetrotter, so you never know. even very unlikely but still possible.

What does putting a hot picture up have to do with this one specific guy thinking you can get handsome men interested in you? You think he's going to click on your picture and look into each "like" you get and think "oh wow, that guys pretty good looking, she must really be a great girl, I messed up by not going after her, darn". Sorry to burst your bubble but he's not even going to notice. Nor would any respectable, mature guy that's worth dating. Not to mention, just because you think a pic of yourself is "hot", doesn't mean anyone else will.

 

What if you think it's "hot", and this guy thinks it's slutty and makes you appear to be desperate and attention seeking. Which btw, is exactly what you're trying to do. Don't do things on social media or in life in general because of what you want other people to think or see in you. That's called being fake.

 

Girls who put up selfies of themselves regularly, bikini shots, the motivational quotes about dating/being single, etc... It's the most unattractive thing a girl can do. All that does is show the outside world that you rely on the portrayal of yourself on social media as a way to feel good about yourself and desireable when in fact people who actually feel good about themselves and desireable don't give a crap about what picture gets liked or doesn't, what guy follows them or doesn't, how long it takes to get a friend request. I mean cmon.

 

Counting the time it takes to accept a friend request?!? If that's what you think of without a boyfriend, then I 10000% guarantee you that you are not going to have lasting, healthy, positive relationships with guys when you do end up seeing someone or dating them. You really need to stop thinking and focusing on social media or what guys you like may be thinking or what they mean by accepting your friend request in 10 hours instead of 12. I'm a guy.. It means nothing. Absolutely nothing.

[mrs rubble]

If he hasn't accepted your request already and is active on FB, he doesn't want to be your friend.

Who cares who's hot or not, your contridicting stories, lack of modestey and rudeness to the above poster is pretty off-putting. I wouldn't accept your friend request either.

[lana-banana]

Have you asked yourself what you're trying to accomplish here? He has a girlfriend and you've only met him a few times, right? What do you want to happen? What do you realistically think will happen? It sounds to me like you're devoting an incredible amount of time, resources and energy to someone who has shown absolutely no interest in you. What is your end goal here?

 

Facebook requests are a split-second decision; you either say yes or no. Even if someone says yes, it doesn't indicate anything other than they chose to say yes. Lots of people have Facebook friends they can't stand or even really remember. Either way, don't make it out to be more significant than it is. It doesn't mean anything. However, if he says no, you need to respect that and leave him alone from now on. Someone who doesn't accept a friend request doesn't care about updates in your life.

[loveflower]

I don't know if he has a gf....you know? I want to know too.

Have you ever considered taking a break from FB? It's controlling your life and your mind in an unhealthy manner. I'm generally against the people who claim FB is the root of all evil - I think it can be beneficial when used in moderation - but your obsession with FB connections is clearly impacting you negatively.

 

Also... did you really just attack several people for taking the time to offer advice in your thread?

[Rejected Rosebud]

You should cancel the request. He doesn't know you, probably doesn't even know who you are. Believe it or not, some guys aren't going to accept a friend request from some random no matter how much skin she's showing in her picture! Move on! :bunny:
