Just as you’re browsing on your Facebook for leisure, the Friend Requests notification is on; someone is trying to add you as a friend on Facebook.

What do you normally do with Facebook friend requests?

  1. Ignore them
  2. Add them regardless
  3. Take a look at their profile
  4. Start a private conversation session

Over the years, I have used a mixture of the above when it comes to my Facebook friend requests. Certainly, everyone has their own approach — there is no right from wrong in this. It is a personal choice.

It is great that the Internet and social media bring everyone closer. We can be friends with people who live in countries we’ve never visited. We live in a cyber global village.

However, I am also sure we’ve all bumped into some friend requests on Facebook that do not seem appropriate. Some may strike as a scam, while others just look suspiciousor rude.

Today, I am going to share my don’ts and dos from a woman’s perspective.
