Etiquette for Ignoring Friends Requests on Facebook

[Chadmama]

HI guys

I've recently starting getting a lot of friend requests from people in high school. I'm a way different person and don't really want to reignite old friendships.

I feel rude just ignoring their friend requests. I wish them all well but don't care to keep in touch.

I thought about emailing each person that sends a request and telling them I hope they are doing great and explaining why I'm not accepting their invite but I'm afraid that's just a way to ease my guilt.

Would you just ignore them or explain why you aren't going to accept the invite? Or do you think I should just accept the invite and deal with it.

Thanks

Hi, It is not totally rude, if you ignore some request, especially coming from people you do not know nor recall. They will understand that. But why not check on mutual friends first, that way, you can verify if you are connected or not.

+1 there. You dont have to accept every request that comes in !

I feel the same way. I moved from England and have started a new life. I keep getting requests from people I knew 20 odd years ago. I've moved on.

On one hand, I created a campaign out of curiosity of how my grade school friends look like after 10 years. So I hunt them down on fb. Not all were responsive about my invitation but it’s totally fine with me. I guess it’s already expected that not all are going to approve the invite. But I’m glad that I fed up my curiosity because I saw and got what I want and reunited with some old friends.

Hi friends, interesting discussion. It really seems rude to just ignore friend requests. It is definitely a good idea to wish them by mail but not to accept their friend request. If you don’t want to reignite old friendships, it makes no sense to just accept the invite unwillingly and deal with it.
