Inviting People to Be Your Friend
You can't simply include people to your friend checklist willy-nilly; they need to be Facebook members and also agree to be added. (Searching For Individuals That Typically aren't Facebook Members discusses how you can invite non-Facebook participants to join the website.) To welcome a Facebook participant to be your pal:
1. Search for the person you want to befriend.
Note: If you send out a friend request to somebody that can not normally see your account-- she's not in your network, for instance-- Facebook momentarily grants that individual accessibility to the basic, job-related, and also education-related sections of your account (Watching Your Profile) so she could make an enlightened choice regarding whether or not to approve your invite.
2. If your search returns the person you're looking for, click the "Include as Good friend" button you see to the right of the individual's account picture. Alternatively, click the person's name or image to check out a bit much more regarding her then, at the top of the potential buddy's profile web page, click the "Include as Close friend" switch. If you do not locate the person you're looking for, you can invite her to join Facebook (Searching for People That Typically Aren't Facebook Members).
Note: If you do not see the "Add as Pal" switch, it's due to the fact that the individual you're aiming to befriend has changed her personal privacy settings to block good friend demands.
3. Submit the verification box that appears and after that click Send Demand. In the confirmation box, Facebook gives you the alternative of including a note together with your request; merely click the "Include a personal message" link. You may likewise see a few other alternatives: If you've produced any type of Pal Listings (Organizing Your Friends), you can click the "Contribute to Note" button to include the person to a Friend Listing (presuming she approves your request). And also if you have actually triggered your cellular phone with Facebook (see Establishing Facebook Mobile), you could switch on the "Subscribe via SMS" checkbox to have that person's messages sent to your phone.
After you click Send Request, you see a Friend Demand Sent dialog box that lets you understand Facebook has sent an invitation to your prospective friend's e-mail address and posted a friend demand to her Facebook Home page (Viewing Your Facebook Web Page).
While you're waiting to listen to back from your close friend, a "Pal Asked for" button replaces the common "Add as Buddy" switch next to her name in your search engine result, when you see her profile, you see an "Waiting for friend confirmation" tag beside her name. If your good friend consents to the relationship as well as responds either to the e-mail or the Facebook demand (Searching for Individuals Who Are Facebook Members), Facebook includes your name to her close friend checklist, and her name to your own. Facebook also sends you a Notification (see Customizing Your Mini Feed) allowing you understand that she confirmed the relationship.
