Don't add me if we aren't going to talk.

    So, how do you feel about people adding you as friends? Do you just add anyone you think is friendly? Or do you have strict rules where you only add certain people? What about the ones that add but don't talk?

    This can include PC, but it also goes for Facebook and any other place where you make friends.

    For me, I do add people because I'm not the type to deny them. However, if they don't ever talk to me, then I take them off... yet, it depends on the person, if that makes sense? I'm all about making friends, but I guess I also have extremely awkward social skills too. So, talking to people on a daily basis can sometimes make me really anxious.
     
    If it's a forum, sometimes I accept random adds, to see if they'll talk to me afterwards or something. If not, I usually delete them. With Skype and Facebook, I have to know them somehow before I add them. Afterwards I try to do my best to talk with them, but I can be a little awkward. ;;;
     
    Same as with Drew, i do accept random invites, but if they end up not talking to me at all they are gonna get scrapped.
     
    Uhhhh I don't care. I accept everyone but every now and then I clean out my friends list and usually remove those people from my list.
     
    I usually don't add anyone, unless there's a reason to. If someone adds me, though, then I will gladly accept it. If I don't know them very much or haven't talked to them in a while, then just like Ace, I would eventually have them removed. d:
     
    skype/facebook is strictly people i know IRL, but for forums i like to add anyone and i try to keep in touch with them the best i can.
     
    I have my messaging on PC set as friends + staff, so I have to keep my list empty so that nobody can send my PM/VMs. I currently have 6 pending requests and I just ignore them. If I ever decide to allow messaging again, I might accept those requests, though.

    As for Facebook, I only add people to my friends list if I know them offline (my younger cousin who lives out-of-state was an exception). I don't bother cleaning out that friend list...if I did, I would have to remove like half of the people because I don't talk to them.
     
    I don't really care tbh. I am here to make tons of friends so I'll accept anyone who wants to be my friend! I don't normally clean out my friends list so if you are on it...there is a good chance you are there permanently.
     
    What the coincidence in creating this topic.. because I just actually did my first ever major sweeping of my friends list today! It's mainly because there were people I just never talked to that added me back when I still accepted requests immediately. I'll still accept requests mostly but I tend to want to get to know people and interact with them some before I accept friend requests.
     
    I don't mind whoever sends me a random friend request, I'll always accept it and I tend to send some requests to people I started talking to. As Chase said, I'm here to make plenty of friends so I don't see why I'd reject one. Feel free to befriend me

    Also I don't think I've ever removed someone of my list. If you're there, you'll be always there :P
     
    If I add some as a friend than Its because I want to talk to them so remeber If I send you a friend request then most likely I'll pm you regularly ;)
     
    Hahaha! So, so agreed. What's the point? Ridiculous, how people add people just to increase their number of friends...
     
    I usually accept random friend requests most of the time, and I usually do end up regularly interacting with those people a lot unless if they've been like, really inactive for months. I do sometimes remove friends if they've been gone from the forums for too long but hey I usually like to keep most of my adds anyway.

    So yeah, I'm mostly like Chase there. Most of my friend adds usually stay there.
     
    Since most of my adds come from groups, I don't mind if they add me, even though they don't really talk. I do mind if it's a friendship request out of the blue without notification first. Generally those who are added, stay added.
     
    I accept anyone who sends me a friend request here on PC since it's just a forum and I don't mind adding more people to my list. Every month or two I do clean out members who haven't signed on for more than three or four weeks, though! If we're talking Skype or other IM platforms I'd definitely reject if I didn't know who the person was.
     
    On PC, Facebook, and every other social networking sites in the entire internet, I accept everybody as friends. I don't even look at their profiles or anything, which isn't really a wise move, but I don't really care haha.
     
    If I like them I will accept them if I have spoken to them then I will if I don't know them I will just start chatting to them to sus them out then make my decision (coming from someone who tried to get the max number of friends on steam.)
     
    I never send requests, but I get them sometimes. If I do, I look at the person's profile and try to figure out why they want me to be their friend. So, I won't accept it if they have never said anything to me.
     
    I added someone on a different forum and was instantly accused of hitting on them in an effort to get into their pants. This despite the fact that I'm gay and the person in question was female. So now I usually don't add people. I let people add me. Which would explain why I have so little friends on here. :|
