How to ignore a Facebook request in a polite way?
One of my friends asked her if there is a polite way to ignore a friend request in Facebook? She did not want to be too rude and she feared if facebook will send a “your request rejected” message to her friend.
Fear not. Facebook is nice.
The official facebook help section says, “Facebook never notifies anyone that you have ignored a friend request.”
So, when you decline a friend’s request, facebook never sends any notification to the person. So, the first tip is you can safely reject the unwanted requests immediately.
But, you can not cancel the request sent by your friend, also.
What if your colleague or your uni mate asks you next time, ‘Hey, did you receive my facebook invite?’. This is tricky to deal with.
Prepare a set of standard answers, and provide them.
For instance,
“I really dont have a clue. I did ‘Accept’ your request, but, it gives some javascript/invlaid function error on my PC.”
“I am not big on facebook. I would prefer to be in touch in the real world!”
Be creative, make up your own reason, blabber something and vanish from the scene.
Enjoy facebooking!

So, your advice to us is to lie? That may be “polite”, but it’s poor form. How about just being up front and telling the person that you only use facebook for your few very closest friends, and that you’d rather continue to talk to this other person in the real world instead of online? A lot of people would appreciate the honesty as a true sign of politeness.
