You can't just include individuals to your good friend list willy-nilly; they have to be Facebook participants as well as accept be added. (Searching For People Who Aren't Facebook Members discusses the best ways to welcome non-Facebook participants to sign up with the site.) To invite a Facebook member to be your pal:
1. Look for the person you want to befriend.
Note: If you send out a good friend request to a person who can not usually see your account-- she's not in your network, for instance-- Facebook momentarily grants that individual accessibility to the standard, occupational, and education-related parts of your profile (Watching Your Account) so she could make an informed choice regarding whether or not to accept your invite.
2. If your search returns the individual you're looking for, click the "Include as Buddy" button you see to the right of the individual's profile image. Alternatively, click the person's name or image to read a little bit much more about her and after that, on top of the potential pal's account web page, click the "Include as Pal" button. If you do not discover the individual you're looking for, you could welcome her to join Facebook (Searching for People Who Aren't Facebook Members).

In the verification box, Facebook offers you the choice of including a note together with your demand; simply click the "Include a personal message" web link. You may also see a few various other options: If you have actually developed any Good friend Listings (Organizing Your Pals), you could click the "Add to Provide" switch to add the individual to a Good friend Checklist (presuming she accepts your request). And if you have actually triggered your cellphone with Facebook (see Setting Up Facebook Mobile), you could activate the "Subscribe using TEXT" checkbox to have that person's blog posts sent out to your phone.
After you click Send Demand, you see a Close friend Request Sent dialog box that lets you recognize Facebook has sent out an invite to your potential pal's e-mail address as well as posted a good friend request to her Facebook Web page (Viewing Your Facebook Home Page).
While you're waiting to hear back from your good friend, a "Good friend Asked for" button replaces the common "Include as Buddy" button alongside her name in your search engine result, when you see her profile, you see an "Waiting for close friend confirmation" label next to her name. If your pal agrees to the relationship and responds either to the email or the Facebook request (Searching for Individuals Who Are Facebook Members), Facebook adds your name to her friend listing, and her name to your own. Facebook likewise sends you a Notice (see Tailoring Your Mini Feed) allowing you understand that she verified the friendship.
