and just give me the standard message, then I don't accept you. In fact, I have several friend requests that I haven't responded to because I have no idea who the women are who sent them.
Unless we interact regularly, if you want to put me on your friends list, you're gonna have to give me some reasons why.
Anyone else like this?

Yeah, that I'll do. Generally though it's just some random name. I might have interacted with them a bit at some point, but really, I don't remember most SN's unless they're someone I talk to all the time.
Quoting christina259:I accept if I recognize they sent a friend request in response to a post or reply I made. I just figure I will get to know them better as time spent on cafemom goes by. To just have a friend request out of the blue though, I probably don't answer because I don't understand why since they don't know nothing about me or I don't know who they are. I've never had one come from out of the blue. I usually get friend requested because we quoted each other back and forth or something. Even if its just one or two comments.
If I don't know someone personally, or if I don't hang out with them on a fairly regular basis, I do not add people. Not even the old friends from high school or junior high that are like "urmurgurd! We were in civics together! Add me!"
meh, you are not that important I will take the time to beg you to add me.
I'm not asking anyone to beg, and I never implied I was "that important".
When I friend request someone, I take a moment to tell them why I'd like to be their friend. Doesn't seem that difficult to do. It's not because I'm "begging" it's because if I want to be someone's friend, I'm willing to put forth at least a modicum of effort.

Quoting AnnieMcD:I don't watch GoT, but she looks pretty badass.
Quoting jadedcynic:before Darkwing I had Arya Stark.
Quoting AnnieMcD:But ... but ... but ... DARKWING!!!
Quoting jadedcynic:I don't have any friends. I think I like it that way. My abrasive personality sort of drives everyone away.
How is "put a little info on why you requested me" even remotely similar to "BEG ME TO BE YOUR FRIEND!!!"?
Quoting Anonymous:
Sorry not going to beg someone to be my friend so I don't request people
whatever.
I am not that picky nor do I let people feel they are not that worthy. Hell if they send me a request to be added, Im tickled pink. Most never say anything, thats ok, most are probably shy, and if not, who cares.
