Why old school friends rejected friend request?

Question

not long ago I had my high school reunion and have since added most of the people over facebook (just about our entire graduating class is friends with each other).

what puzzles me is a few people rejected my friend requests.

now we've never been bestest friends; but haven't been enemies either - we just got on ok.

at the reunion we all spoke and had a generally good time.

I'm confused why some people act all nice in person but wouldn't bother accepting such a general invite.

note: they all have 200+ friends already so it ain't really an exclusive group.

any ideas?

Answer 1

maybe they have something on their profile or activities that they do on facebook that they don't want you to see.  

maybe they like you for a school friend, but they don't consider you as a facebook friend just yet.  a lot of people are like that.

i don't think you should keep on sending friend requests just yet - it's better to send them a message by facebook first and have a few friendly conversations.  eventually, send a friend request and see if they add you.  they probably will, after getting to know you even more :)

Answer 2

They're just rude

unless you said something to offend them in some way :/

Answer 3

this is the way i suppose, everyone goes their way

lot of friends come and go in one's life, the person who is your best friend now- will not necessarily stay your best friend in future
