I confess: If you friend request me

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.

The friends list isn't really needed with the way cafe mom is set up now, but it was really handy 5 years ago when I joined.

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!"

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.

Shes WAY more badass in the books. I almost named my daughter aria, but my boyfriend liked sydney more. I still like aria better.

I don't watch GoT, but she looks pretty badass.

before Darkwing I had Arya Stark.

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.

I accept everyone. It's not like I have anything on my profile that's super private. Plus I have my chat turned off.

How is "put a little info on why you requested me" even remotely similar to "BEG ME TO BE YOUR FRIEND!!!"?

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.
