What should I make of this?

    Not a serious problem but it is bugging me.

    I sent a good friend a facebook friend request. We know each other along time, I've been to her wedding recently (a small wedding), often go for lunch/drink/dinner. So she didn't respond to the request so I thought I had wrong person as there was not picture. Saw her on a mutual friends page (picture this time) and sent other friend request. She then accepted the first request and not the second.

    Weird as the second account seems to be her real one and the other one is just to give to who ever she mustn't want on her real account. Very few friends on it, no photos etc. I don't understand how a friend can want me at her wedding in Oct and to want me as a facebook friend. I know this sound childish but it doesn't make sense!

    Sorry, but you really are worrying about this too much.

    If it bothers you, ask her why she has two different facebook accounts. Innocently - don't give any indication that you have a suspicion as to why - and see what excuse she gives.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    maybe the first account is, like you say, not used that much. Hence she didnt see the friend request. Then when she got the request to her second "real" account, she just chose the first friend request without even realising it was the account she rarely uses. (im not a huge facebook person so im not sure if it could work this way...but just what popped into my head when i saw your post)

    But yeah do what ikky poo suggested and see what she says

    Maybe she set up the first account yonks ago and forgot the login so made another .................. maybe the first one is not her ................. who knows? She added you so it's not an issue.

    I know my girlfriend has multiple Facebook accounts which she uses for some of the games and stuff. Other friends have forgotten passwords and left zombie profiles up etc.

    Think you're definitely reading too much into it!

    Yup - gawd. I have stopped using FB - and have a few open requests from friends - but am seeing more and more the hazard in using this tool.

    Hopefully none of them are getting worked up about that fact...

    Look - it might be that she just uses it rarely - or is falling out of using it totally like me...

    I have to agree with most of others, she didn't reply to a friend request sent to a profile that looked barely used and did when sent to a profile she uses - I don't see what issue you could make from that? :confused:

    She put me on the account she doesn't use! An it is the same person. I'm sure of that.

    I know it's not a major problem but is a little strange!

    You mean she accepted the request from the quiet account and not the one she uses? Ah, I got you.

    Can you ask her? I keep getting requests left right and centre about facebook messages and accounts and I answer some and delete others depending on my mood, I'm just not that into facebook - could your friend be the same and just be getting all muddled?
