Facebook "Friending"--need advice, please.

Post Reply New Topic

So I've been considering sending a friend request to this one person whom I haven't seen since I was little. She was a friend of my half-sister, and she'd often come over to our house and sometimes play with me. But, since I haven't seen or heard from her since I was, like, four, there's a chance that she might not remember me. We already have one mutual friend on Facebook--my half-sister. What do you think?

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that she also came to my 4th birthday party.

I'd say send her a message first letting her know who you are and see if she remembers you before friending her.

Leave facebook. Problem solved.

Yes I agree with this post, if it's been as long as you say it has the person probably doesn't remember you (unless she's still friends with your sister) Try sending her a message explaining who you are and how you know this person so she doesn't just see some random person she doesn't know try to friend her which she will promptly deny unless she has the ability to remember someone after 15 years if your age is to be believed.

I agree with both of them.
You can just send a message with the friend request.

There's not much to lose from what it sounds like. Only something to gain.

Quite honestly most people don't remember being 4, but hey, always worth a shot. Don't look at me, though, I would chicken out completely.

I wouldn't bother.

I wouldn't bother.

I would message her first to see if she would remember you, hopefully she would be able to... (fingers crossed) and if not, either you ask some questions to jog her memory a little and if nothing worked, I wouldn't bother or you can add her and talk to her and get to know you more, it might work but its worth the try.
