No.

Nope

I got it fixed, just deny everyone across the board. LOL

No!!!!!!!!

Are you notified when that happens? If not, I'd never notice.

No, I wouldn't. Everyone has different requirements... some have no requirements, lol.

Nah, I wouldn't. Unless he tells you the reason, you don't actually know why he turned your request down. To me, the friends list is more about information management than friendship, anyway. Don't get me wrong - I do consider the people on my list as friends, but if someone denied my request, I'd be more inclined to assume that he realized our interests were completely different. IOW, maybe he'd rather not see a bunch of my answers on stuff that bores him showing up on his friends activity page. For example, you could be my best friend in RL, but if your only interest on AB was in the "Gross-looking insects" category, you are NOT landing on my friends list. Forget it! You may still give me presents, however, LOL. I'm not a total moron.

1) I don't think it is meant as a personal attack on me. If someone is not your friend, they are mostly not your ennemy either. Just indifferent or not really enthusiastic. 2) "Not taking something personally doesn't, for me, mean it will not hurt. It just means my sense of self won't be affected; that my self-esteem isn't wrapped up in what you just said to me."

Then, there will be those who visit your blog, look at your paintings, listen to your songs, read your poems, review your resume - and they’ll shrug and say, “Yea, not so much.” So what? Somewhere out there someone is waiting for your gift. And if you have to keep working on your craft, or wait a little while, that’s okay!"
