Right now, I have ten friend requests that are just sitting there. I don't want to refuse anyone but I insist that people send me a message or make a comment on my profile page before I accept them. I don't think that this is too much to ask, do you?

I used to have more than 600 friends on Englishbaby. People would ask to be my friend and I would blindly say yes. Then it got to be too much, there were just too many people to keep track of. Some members left, some just disappeared and many of those 'friends' knew nothing about me and I knew nothing about them. At that point, I deleted hundreds of people that I didn't know.

Now, I only accept people who send me a message or make a NICE comment on my profile page.  I may have accepted you without either of those things but there may be special circumstances that I can't get into here. Suffice it to say that if you want to be friends with me all you have to do is send a message or make a comment and ask to be friends on my profile page. 

I'm going to write some blogs on oral English and how you can get better at it. It's tough for many of you who have no one to speak to in English. I'll try to help you out in that area. Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading.

 I did what u did to. just blindly accept. But that wasnt very smart thing to do on my part, end up with 200 people that u dont talk to after accepting the request.  Id like to know more about Canada, I have some relatives living in Alberta, although Id love to visit ive not been able to do this yet. maybe somedaySmile

It's really irritating to add other person, who we don't know. There si no use to increase the numbers of  unknown friends. The conversation must be took place to be friend.
