Being a new member and still getting used to the site and how things work, my question is : If I make a friend request and don't get a reply, does that mean that person is not interested? or that they haven't received the request?
I'd like to know, because I don't want to offend anybody if they have made me a friend but I'm not aware, or that they have received the request and are not interested. Also I don't want to double up on my request to someone who is not interested.
Could somebody please clear this up for me. Thanks.

They either have not opened the request or are not interested. You'll only get a reply if they accept your request. I hope this clears things up. Welcome to the site, I hope you enjoy your time here.

We've identified an issue with the friending setup, Gav is looking into it.
I accepted your request last night, but am not showing.
Normal service shall resume shortly.

Hi Don
I've been told by several of the ladies here that they get bombarded with friend requests, so they often don't respond. Maybe do something very friendly. nice and creative with your message and that could improve your reply percentage. as you get to know people, comment on stories, write and post stories, participate in The Forum, people will get to know you and be much more apt to accept your friend request.
By the way, Welcome to Lush. I think you'll come to thoroughly enjoy it here. This is a great place!

This is my third try to post a message here. Everytime it's bombs when I'm typing. So here we go, the short version.
Thanks for the replies and the welcomes. Can't say I agree with the "if not interested" no reply system. to me that's plain rude, and you don't know if they have got the request
and are just ignoring you, or haven't received it.
Hi Buz. Yep I can appreciate the ladies getting heaps of requests, but from my end, how long does it take to reply with a quick "no thanks".
On my message, I just intro myself, and give a few light hearted details or comments about myself. Can't do much more than that, mate.
The rest I guess is up to time. Thanks.

It looks to be fixed, I'm showing in your friend list now.
Q. If I make a friend request and don't get a reply, does that mean that person is not interested?
A. They may not have logged on. They might not be interested.
Q. or that they haven't received the request?
A. Unless something has gone wrong, they will always receive the request. It's programmatic.
"I don't want to double up on my request to someone who is not interested." This is handled programmatically too. If you send a request twice, it will tell you that you've already sent them a friend request, no drama.

Thanks Nicola. Sorry to be a pain, but there's a lot to cover here, and if I don't ask, I'll never know, and I don't want to offend anyone by doing something I didn't know about.
IMO, I still think you should get your programmer to include a "no thanks" box when a member is sending a request to be a friend. Just a suggestion.

this is actually a great suggestion, Don
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Thanks sprite. I just think it's pretty rude to ignore someone who has made a polite request to friend you. A "no thanks" box keeps both parties informed. I don't have a problem with some members who may not want to friend me, I think
we all should have the right to choose, and they would have their reasons, - they don't like my style of writing, my subjects, or just me as an individual, and that's okay by me. I don't offend easily. * grin
Having said that, I feel all members have the right to a reply.
P.S. I might just try you out now.

Thanks one_winged_angel. I don't know what happened but the first couple that came into my email never gave me that option, so I assumed, albeit incorrectly, that there was only a accept/success box. The ones that came into my LS inbox had both boxes. It is obviously something to do with my email address, as it has the box to click to add a message to the friends wall, but that doesn't work either. Everything seems to be okay now.
