facebook friend request

[looobylooo]

just a quickie please,

ive had a 'friend request' from someone showing on my facebook profile for a while now, its always showed as a red '1 request' at the top of my page.
for reasons, ive never accepted or refused the request, so its always sat there.
ive now noticed the red '1 request' is no longer showing, is this because the other person has cancelled it now?
but saying that, down on the right of my page, in the area where it shows youve still not accepted or refused 'suggestions' of sites etc that people have sent you, it still says i have '1 friend request' is that there because ive just not selected accept or refuse at my end?
if anyone can answer this please, id me most grateful.
thanks alot :o)

am sure the experts will give you a definite answer but it sounds as though it is indeed there because you haven't committed either way.

thanks carmalee,
im asking more about the red '1 friend request' though, that is now no longer showing at the top of my fb page, i wondering if its because the person has cancelled the request their end, or does it just go in time?

You can cancell it by choosing to select ignore.

Why not just reject the request? You wouldn't have to worry about whether it is showing or not then.

if you have clicked on the friend request to view it then the red box should disappear. the friend request should still remain in the right hand column in your "to do" list thingy.

I have had notification red boxes that wont go away despite viewing the notifications, I think its a FB problem.

however like daffy says, if you delete or accept the request you will allieviate the problem quicker ;)

for personal reasons, i chose not to respond to it daffy - im not exactly worried, i just wanted to know if the person had cancelled it themselves..?


thanks cazzz, yeah ive viewed the request before, but its always remained on there.

ahwell, not to worry, i was just curious thats all..

thanks for replying ;o)

facebooks last update now allows you to remove any friend requests that you make, if you click on the friend request and the request has gone then its likely that the person may have removed their req
