What happens when you send a friend request on facebook?

say you were called bob and the person u sent a friend request was called Jim

bob sends request

now jim willl have a red box next to the friend request button, meaning someone wants to be friends,

Jim will click on it to bring a scroll down menu of friend requests and latest (of which is bob's) will be at the top.

At te same time he will be sent an email about the request.

Now depending wether Jim wants to be friends with bob he will on the scroll menu where you are click on 1 of the buttons next to your name which are 'comfirm' and 'not now'

if he want to accept he will click 'comfirm'

if he doesn't then he'll click 'not now'

then he will get a massage saying '' friend request hidden, do you know Bob out side of the internet?'' now he gets a yes/no option, if he said no then he will get a message saying 'bob will not be able to make further contact with you' and thats about it then you know

I hope this helps --~X~--
