Friends Invitations
What do you guys do when someone sends you a friends invitation and you aren't sure who they are? Do you just accept it, ignore it or investigate who the person is?
I kind of wish people wouldn't do that. I wish they'd send you a message or note first saying how they know you and asking if they can send an invitation. If I don't know who the person is, I wind up investigating and trying to figure out who they are and how they know me! I'm left wondering if they maybe saw me answer a post they agreed with and that's why they sent me an invitation? Or did they actually speak with me and I don't remember? Then I go back and look at all the posts to try and figure it out.
I kind of like to get to know the person first before I put them on my friend's list. I don't want to offend people but I just like to get to know them a little bit first. Anybody else out there feel like that too? What do you guys do? Just curious!

You know April maybe I have been lucky so far they all seem to be great and I havent needed to delete any , it could be you have a point , I do usually check out the profile and interests first.before I say yes .
Even if you don't even know them? What if you discover later you have nothing in common with them or maybe even don't really like them or like how they're acting, etc. Wouldn't it be more awkward at that point to delete them off your friend's list? I guess that's why I try to be careful to begin with to get to know them. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings in the long run.
Yup I accept, then let the dice fall where they may, you can always change it.
They only are asking for someone to converse with.
Unless someone is being ignorant, I would accept their invite..and not be hard about it.

I couldn't have said it better myself, and just last night I got two invites...one of them, I know why...the other one, I didn't have a clue on....I ditto your entire post!
Swampy's often thought it would be nice to be able to write a personal message along with the friendship invite. You could leave the person a note, but it would be better to have it privately sent with the invite.
