She then accepts my friend request after 3 weeks, what gives?

[Anonymous]

So, I message this one girl that I kind of work with. She saw me a couple times but really there were no approach from my part. I sent her a message in the Facebook w a friend request 3 weeks ago. I pretty much stated that I wanted to get to know her. I had given up on her since no respond what so ever. Kind of saw her today, after 3 weeks...again, no approach on my part, since I feel rejected. Then I saw that she accepted my friend request today. What gives?

I mean she could just ignore it completely, but just decided to do that. Can I get any input here?

Thanks for reading.

She probably didn't really understand why you were messaging her on Facebook but not talking to her in real life. I always get a little curious at that too, and I also rarely add people I barely know.

In the end she accepted it, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just don't be one of those people who only talks to someoen through Facebook - it can be strange to not get why someone wants to talk to you online but not off.

I'm kind of a shy guy, and I really wanna talk to her, but she ALWAYS, I mean always, have her girl friends w her.. And I know one of her really close friend is super bitchy, so I'm scared to approach her, because I'm worried her friend would be barking at me as I get close. Not to mention, that I rarely ever really seen her. Would you suggest me to actually say something to her the next time I see her?

She works with you and probably thought it to be strange that you'd send her a random message after seeing her yet not talking to her.. shows lack of confidence if the only way you speak to someone is through a text message of sorts regardless of being in the same physical vicinity.

I'd say she accepted just to check out your pics/profile to make sure you're not a creep?

Been there, done that.

I agree!

Well, what I meant by working together is, we are working for the same company, but we are in a different branch, and I rarely ever seen her. Does your comment still apply?

She might be like me. I do that all the time.

Mostly because I'm never on Facebook and log on about 2 times a year. I get new friend requests from people who I sort of know here and there and if I think they are OK I'll accept.

I noticed she had changed her profile pict a number of times after I saw her timeline, so I don't think it's anything to do w that. But, as I said, we kind of saw each other again yesterday after 3 weeks, and she accepted my friend request during our working hours.

Maybe she just doesn't keep up with requests. I never do, either. Don't read too much into this. If hse really liked you, she'd ave accepted you right away, no?
