Would it bother you if someone ignored your friend request on facebook?
*edited to add explanation:
I have been ignored twice by the same person. At first I couldn't remember if I had requested him already and then I remembered that I had after I requested him for the second time and was ignored. I went to high school with him. Was in drama with him. I would say we were friends. He was my best friend's boyfriend. They are now married. She is not on facebook. We (meaning she and I) had a huge blow out about 2 weeks before graduation. Instigated by her. She called me out on all kinds of things in front of our mutual friends and I had no idea what she was talking about. I was devastated and completely humiliated. I tried to make the best of it so it wouldn't ruin the last couple weeks of high school. I was not aware if her boyfriend/husband had issues with me as well. I didn't think we did. So, now I have requested him and he has ignored twice. It REALLY bothers me!! I would love to know how he is doing (and how she is as well) but I guess the humiliation of asking again would just be setting myself up for more dissappointment. I love facebook but I think it brings out all my insecurities and just stupid old high school stuff. I think I am over it all but then something like this happens and it all comes back. Oy vey! I am such a dork!! So there you go!!
BA-I would LOVE to know who it is...although I think I already know....
Meredith-Maybe her computer and phone are broken...*sheepish grin*

i don't think so. i usually forget who i put friend requests out to. also, i only ask people if i'm pretty certain we're actually friends. (or at least were...)
did this happen to you? or is it just a random question? there's one person whose request i've ignored MULTIPLE times and they still don't get the hint. i'm too chicken to post who it is. (it's a one-in-a-million chance they'd read this, but i'm not riskin' it!) i'll tell ya next time i see you. and i promise i'm not being mean, i just really don't think this person needs to be my facebook friend.
OH MAN, [cue can of worms opening]
I totally have requested a friend FOUR TIMES & she keeps ignoring me. i have been borderline stalkerish with some phone msgs. emails, etc....i am not proud of that, but i am SUPER-DOOPER offended & wondering what the !%#$^$%^$#%$#@%$# i did to make her not accept me as a FB friend....
we used to be VERY close friends who had lost touch. to my knowledge we DID NOT have a falling out, but her denial of my repeated friend request has gone ignored.
i have taken it very personally (which is silly of me), but the rest of it, no phone call back, no email reply, etc has really hurt my feelings & i don't understand what i've done!!
oh man, now i am all worked up. thanks a-lot manda.
i hear ya about bringing up crappy highschool stuff. when i first joined myspace and started seeing pictures of all those people grown up, it just gave me really weird feelings. I think its kind of unnatural to know everything about everyone you ever knew. People grow apart for a reason! But yes, still addicting.
now responding to your edit:
super-weird!!! even if this guy DID have issues with you (waybackwhen), why the eff would anyone hold onto that crap now?!!! *deepbreath* sorry. got a little worked up there. i guess we all still suffer from our never-resolved high school issues. but, i'd never deny someone fb friendship over an ages-old squabble! (haha, the "ages-old" remark is, in no way a jab at your age:)
and your first hint to my fb friend denial: initials are D.A.
Keep on it. After about the 34th request, he will add you.
