When you realize that someone has unfriended you
on FB, do you ever friend them back?
I've been defending people that I don't talk to in small batches for months now and I'm genuinely surprised at the number of people who friend me back a few days later. Do they not get the hint? Do they care that much about my life despite the fact that we haven't spoken in years?
I would be embarrassed to re-friend someone I knew had unfriended me.
Re: When you realize that someone has unfriended you
I wouldn't do it, and I feel like it's sort of awkward when it happens. Or when you ignore someone's friend request only to get another one from them a week later. But then I think maybe I just popped up on their "you might know them because you have 100 mutual friends" list and they clicked add without realizing I'd already ignored their request.
ETA: So I usually do what kacasey does and add them anyway. Otherwise I feel mean haha.
My Blog
I have probably done that to someone. I have had a few people that I thought we were friends and wasnt, so I friended them - I am not sure if they actually defriended me, or if I just thought we were friends or what. I had one person I KNOW I was friends with defriend me and then refriend me. I accepted, but was thinking "I know we were friends bc a month ago I was internet stalking you" lol
I wouldnt knowingly do it though.
I changed my name
I won't on purpose. Usually it takes me a while to notice and when I do I just figure "whatever". People have reasons for wanting to keep things trimmed down. It only burns me if I really liked their status updates or pictures or something. But then I figure it the same way, people can do what they want and I've never felt that anyone de-friended me in order to be mean.
One thing I may be guilty of is asking someone more than once to be friends without an acceptance in between just because I forget that I already asked.
I actually 1st try to think if we were friends in the 1st place. There are many people that I am not "friends" with but their profiles weren't set to private so I was able to see all their info and such. I sit and wonder if they just changed their profile to private or if they actually deleted me.
If I realize they actually deleted me then I wouldn't request them to be a friend again.
Uhm, heck no! But I have a feeling some people don't even realize they were friends and were un-friended since FB is always suggesting "people you may know."
I've only un-friended a few people. One woman was the wife of my dh's frat brother. She friended me after we went out to dinner and dh asked me to accept. But she spent the whole night talking about how she wanted a coach purse as her next push present (she wasn't even pregnant). First of all, I couldn't even figure out what a push present was. When I did, I said I didn't deserve a push present with my 1st baby since I didn't push (kind of joking). But she agreed with me!!! Getting sliced open to have a baby means you don't deserve a push present. Then she kept bragging about how big the baby that she pushed out was (8.5lbs). I finally said something about my 2nd baby being a vaginal birth and she actually asked how big that baby was. SMH So a couple months after she friended me, I un-friended her. She asked my dh about it and my dh told me our dd had been messing with my FB. So she friended me again. And a couple months later, I un-friended her again. About 5 months ago, her dh sent me a friend request. I ignored it! Take a hint people! You do not need to know about my life! Or my births....
