WWTMNNesties D? FB question
okay, so a friend of mine is dating this guy that i think is kind of a doucher. and really, i don't agree with them dating in the first place because he's another friends ex-boyfriend of 3+ years and in my opinion, you just don't do that. you don't date your friends exs. but, to keep the peace (and keep my nose where it belongs), i don't say anything. i don't have to like it (or him) but it's not my business.
well, this guy just friend requested me on FB. i kind of want to just hit ignore but i do see this guy fairly often (3-4 times a month) and i don't want him to go telling his GF that i didn't friend him and then she gets weird about it.
you know what i mean?
and plus, i just recently removed EVERYONE that i don't see/hang with regularly and i feel like this would be going in exactly to opposite direction.
thoughts?
Re: WWTMNNesties D? FB question
I'd ignore him. My co-worker tried friending me, I ignored it, she never said anything. Do you think he would say something to you about it? I guess that would be kind of awkward.
You could always friend him and then de-friend him in a week or so, he might not notice. Or you could friend him but just give him very limited access to your page.

I would hit ignore. I have been questioned a few time by people I ingnored and I just tell them politely that I keep my FB friends limited to those I see in real life or those I can't see and need a means to communicate with them. Most people take that as a good enough answer.
My mom's boss's wife requested me and I denied it for the shear fact that I don't want her knowing what is going on in my personal life to talk about with people in my hometown. She is very judgemental and gossipy and in the end I don't think you need a reason to hit ignore. Most of the time people won't even remember that they requested you.

I do this too, when I think it would be awkward to ignore. Otherwise, sometimes I just leave them in limbo, I don't ignore or accept.

So by "doucher", you may say he's "not my friend." lol
My guess is he saw your name pop up and FB friend requests everyone he's ever met. No problem with that. But I'm also going to guess he really doesn't give a rip who accepts and he probably won't even NOTICE if you don't accept.
In the tiny chance you ignore and he actually says something, just tell him you've purged a lot of people down to really good friends. He ain't one of them! ;-)
