Problem#1 How to send a friend request on Facebook when there is no option of Add Friend(Private)

See the above picture in which there is no option of Add Friend because she has customized her friend request from her end. This person might have set “Who can send me friend request” from ‘Everyone’ to ‘Friends of Friend’. So In this case you have to find something in common and build some connection.

Below are the following things that you can try out. It always works for me and might work for you as well. Or you can ask your questions in the comments below. I would be happy to help you out.

Build Some Connection:

As this person has changed her friend request setting from ‘Everyone’ to ‘Friends of Friends’. So you can’t send her friend request. So in this you have to make some mutual friends (at least three). If Her friend list is public, you can directly go and send friend request to the people to make some mutual friends. Other wise go to that person’s  profile pics or cover photo where you can find people who have commented or liked the pic. you can send them friend requests and build some connection.

Send Message Request:

If you are not able to send her friend request then you can send message request to that person. But this message doesn’t go to inbox, instead it goes to message request folder. Generally people don’t check this folder. If you get lucky and sooner or later they read your message, you will make that person your friend.

*** Even after trying again and again, if the person is not replying. It means he/she is not interested. In this case don’t them and have your own life.

Problem #2 Friend Requests can’t be sent even though you have mutual friends

This is the recent update in facebook that very few people are actually aware. After seeing that lot of people on facebook are getting piled up by these unnecessary friend requests. Facebook has updated their algorithm to make this social media less annoying. Some time what would happen even though you are having mutual friends and they are reflecting in your “People you may know” option, still you won’t be able to send them friend request. You might get this message.

sometimes things really get annoying when you know the person even though you are unable to send the friend request. There is no thumb rule to get rid off this situation but below are the following things that you can try out and probably you would be able to reach out to that person.

Delete Your Sent Friend Requests:

Many a time what happens if that you send friend requests to lot of people and few very of them are accepted. For Instance if you send friend request to hundred people and out of hundred, only five people accept your friend request. In this facebook gets to know that acceptance rate is very less. In this case facebook might flag your profile internally. If you don’t stop , you can also be get blocked for sending friend requests for some period of time.

So In this case go to your friend requests option and delete all pending requests that you have sent. See the below picture. and follow this path. Find Friends—–View Sent Requests——-Delete Sent Requests.

Once you delete these pending sent friend requests, After few days you probably would be able to send friend request to that person.

Suggest A friend:

 In this case you have to ask a favor from your mutual friends that he/She has to suggest that person to you. Once that mutual suggest you to that person to whom you want to send friend request. You would be able to send friend request to that person.

These are some ways that I am sure would help you out in sending friend requests to anyone. If this doesn’t work out there are other dozen ways that you can try.
