If somebody here on AB has sent you a friend request, do you add them straight away or have a nose in their profile to see what they are really like before adding them?

I nose around their profile. I never just accept a request.
-
I look at the ones I don't know, just to see why they would want to add me. If I have never seen them before then I will check them out to see if we are compatible enough to be "friend". Ppl I see all the time around and know their attitudes and beliefs then I have already looked at their profiles so I will just add them.;)
-
I nose around. I don't accept requests from people who haven't answered or commented something of mine.
-
If I don't recognize the screen name, I "nose into" their profile a bit. I don't need any MORE cyberstalkers. lol
-
Check profile first.
-
I usually check it out before I add them. If I havn't really talked to them through comments, I don't usually add them.
-
Check on it.
-
I make sure it is someone that I've seen around AB commenting on many of the same questions that I have commented on. Then I check their profile and will usually add.
-
If I've already had some enjoyable interactions with somebody and then they send a friend request I hit the Accept button mucho pronto! If I've had no interaction with them then I go all Sherlock on their profile. :p
-
check it
-
I always check em out but if I get into a good conversation with someone than I will ask request them to be my friend

Unless I know them already, I have a look around their profile. There are some people (nowhere near the majority) who seem to try to add high profile people or everyone who is active at the time. I usually tell those. Sometimes I will tell someone, in a comment thread, that I have to know them a bit better.
-
If it's someone I've interacted with a lot and know pretty well, I add them right away. If it's someone I don't know, I do take a look at their profile and friend list. If it's someone I have never seen before, I do not add them. I've had too many issues with trolls/clones. I state as much in my own profile.

Only if we have interacted with them in the past "PLUS" we only accept the best looking people in AB! just ask any of our Peeps!!

I generally add them straight away. I figure, if they want to review my q/a, it will make it easier for them to do so. But my own AB routine has nothing to do with these friends. I rarely look at my own friends list. My AB routine is that if I have a few minutes, I sign onto AB and then: 1) check my own feedback and 2) check new questions and see if there are any I want to respond to. Every now and then, I delve back into old questions that have not been answered to see if there are any oldies but goodies. And then every now and then I see that someone has spent a lot of time responding to my questions. Then I go and respond to them, until I am out of points. Friends list, in my humble opinion, is just cause for creating cliques.

Well I've only added, been added by people I've conversed with, so I don't really need to look around. Plus, I have less than 10 friends, so it's not much of an issue for me.
