Say what a friend request is
Decide who is let in to see what you post.
A friend request is one person asking to be connected to you. Accept, and they see your posts.
Declining is silent. The other person is never told, so there is nothing awkward in it.
Key points
- A friend request asks to connect; accepting lets that person see what you post
- Declining is private, and the other person is never told
What to remember
- Read the page first. Then decide.
- Declining costs nothing. Accepting hands over what you post.
Try this
Open your own requests list and read one person’s page before answering it.
