<p>my boyfriend didn’t add me back on facebook until a while after we broke up</p>
<p>some people just aren’t facebook people
maybe he doesn’t use it much
or maybe he wants it limited to a small circle of close friends</p>
<p>and seriously, quit making fun of pmvd, it’s not funny to him
he’s in a bad emotional place right now
please have compassion</p>
<p>How do you know he denied you?? Maybe he just didn’t get the chance to check Facebook. That happened to me when I was a freshman and was traveling a lot over the summer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I agree. And you should definitely talk to the dean about this. Try to do it in person so your issue gets addressed faster.</p>
<p>I mean, you absolutely NEED to get this resolved now. Otherwise when you arrive at school your roommate might give you dirty looks or do something similarly horrible.</p>
<p>What’s wrong with having everyone in your class as a friend on facebook? Well… I guess it depends on what you’re talking about. I’m in high school, i have about 250 kids in my class, and I’m friends with almost all the ones with facebooks. It certainly helps when I forget hw, or have a question about what’s going on at school.</p>
<p>But it’s certainly weird when someone in college adds each of their 4,000 classmates on facebook.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m sorry about your roomate. Maybe they didn’t realize who you were?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve seen this before, I rejected their request when I saw what they were trying to do LOL</p>
<p>I don’t have a facebook, but may have one in the near future. I don’t think I would have a problem adding random people, it’s not like they are getting my password, home address etc… but I guess I know very little about how facebook works.</p>
<p>Specify, will you specify? Are you talking about me and my 250 high school classmates? Or the people with 4,000 friends?</p>
<p>I blocked my current roommate on facebook, but that’s 'cause she’s a total ******. Initially though, we added one another, and I was cool with it, and expecting it.</p>
<p>But I do think it’s weird to deny your roommate for next year. No, living together doesn’t constitute immediate friendship (if you mean in the literal sense of the word, but I guess you didn’t), but I would say it constitutes enough to add one another on facebook. I think so, at least. It’s true though. They could just be really restrictive on who they add and don’t. Who knows.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about it or read too much into it. I do think the majority of people would add their future roommate, however, I wouldn’t worry at this point if they don’t.</p>
<p>If my roommate was to find me first, I’d accept it. You’re gonna live with them for a year. Although you’re strangers at the time, it’s completely different than just “some stranger”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I don’t think he deserves all of this.</p>
<p>You don’t need “exhalted status” to be added onto Facebook, let alone be a legitimate “friend.”</p>
<p>Facebook is a tool, no more, no less. Pun intended.</p>
<p>Facebook tends to work better (in terms of social information and event invites) when you have a larger group of friends.</p>
<p>Friending your roommate is advantagous for numberous reasons. For instance, you can figure out who will bringing the TV or the fridge or what have you.</p>
<p>By the way, how do you know if someone denied you? I don’t think anyone’s denied be before. Does the “friend” option come up again?</p>
<p>^Well, the way I’ve realized is that when you aren’t friends with someone, on their page you have the “Add as friend” icon, and when you friend them it says “Friend requested” or some crap. But if they deny you and you go to their page again, the “Add as friend” icon is there once more.</p>
<p>So yeah. Friend option comes back.</p>
<p>Yes it does, i denied someone who added me just cuz we go to the same high school. He then sent another friends request after being denied…so i denied it again :)</p>
<p>
That seems like overkill to me. Are you really friends with all those people or just acquaintance? I would venture to say the latter; you may see in due time. A few actual friends plus some extra people who are actually in the know in your school would do the trick for what you pointed out.</p>
<p>Now, back to the college life forum. You’re in high school, aren’t you? ;)</p>
<p>Having acquaintances on your facebook is fine. </p>
<p>The only person I ever rejected on facebook was this girl who stalked me in high school. There was no way in hell I was accepting that friend request. </p>
<p>My rule is that I will never friend request anyone, and make them friend request me.</p>
<p>This gets you a more selective bunch, imo. Although if everyone did that, then facebook wouldn’t work : D</p>
<p>Maybe she didn’t ignore your request - maybe she’s one of those people who, like me, check FB maybe once a month, or just overlooks her notifications, so she didn’t get a chance to add you right away.</p>
<p>your new roomie may want to get to know ;you/ you to know roomie without the posing on facebook</p>
<p>Well im actually kinda surprised that most people posting here agreed ur roomate was right to reject you. I mean its her choice but its a bad way to start ur relationship. I think its wierd if people i have 0 connection to add me thus i decline, but if they go to my school nd they add me i dont see the problem at all…</p>
<p>Glendawantsme17 (or smthing i forgot lol =p) i think it was right to add her cuz of course u want to know hu ur roommate is bfore u meet them! But maybe she didnt recieve the notice that ur her roommate, so did u say something in a message mentioning ur roommates? Maye in a wk or 2 u can send a message introducing urself properly, nd just ask if this is even the person ur looking for, but dnt sound desperate! Well guud luck with them!</p>
<p>Psycho, what’s wrong with being facebook friends with people in my 250 student class? I see facebook as something more as a way to comunicate with acquaintances. If I wanted to talk to my friends, I would call them, not message them on facebook. But with acquaintances, it’s a tad more awkward to just call them up, so a nice casual facebook comment will do. I don’t see a problem with that.</p>
<p>Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but are you saying you should only be facebook friends with people in your ‘clique’?</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m friends with most of my class. We all know each other, and smile at each other in the halls. My school is just really friendly like that. I don’t see a problem in being friends with them on facebook. It’s not like I add every single person in my school’s network, even people I’ve never talked to before. Now THAT’S overkill.</p>
<p>^Why are you in this college life thread lol?</p>
