I thought this sounds a bit different from all those todays threads....

Facebook, love it or hate it, it's still there.

I'm always pleased to get friend requests, although I try and be selective in the fact I avoid friends kids (except family, god children etc). I also like my "friends" to be friends and not some one I spoke to in a pub 5 years ago.

Recently I've had a quite a few from names I don't know, But looking at the names some are friends of friends so people I know from say fell races who I say hi to, perhaps been on reccies with, BG's etc. some have similar likes to me. Occasionally I work out who these are and more often than not I'll respond.

My dilemma is when I can't work out who they are. It's probable that a few of them are forumites and not knowing every ones real name makes it difficult.

If you send a request to who ever and they might not know your real name may I suggest you send a short message with that request then I at least won't ignore it and feel guilty

Any one else have the same dilemma?
