I am picky with my facebook friends, and when one person who knows a friend of mine, but doesn’t know me personally, tried to add me, I turned it down with class… :thumb:

> Hey, I saw the friend request.

For one I don’t often use my Facebook, and second, even though we have several friends in common, I really don’t know you and I don’t see much point in us sharing day to day information with each other.

Not that that information is private, but it simply isn’t (can’t find a good adjective, interesting maybe?) to follow the day to day lives of someone you don’t even know. I highly doubt you would be at all interested in posts where I say things like “Went to the store today and found a great deal on shoes!” or “That assembly was amazing!”

I really don’t mean to offend you in any way by rejecting your friend request, so I hope you understand. However, maybe you want to get to know me better, so if you feel that you really want to add me, just say so, and I will accept the request anyway.

Maybe I overthink things, but I am content with my 37 close personal friends. 😉
