J Just a quick one, a few weeks ago I asked to be friends and the couple replied asking why would I send a friend request without messaging first. How thats a good point but I must have sent dozens of messages out and only get about 5% response, of course that is probably people look at my profile and pass my by. What I would like to know is what is the etiquette for getting responses. |

There's no standard etiquette for responding to messages, friends invites, etc, except that no reply = 'no thanks'.
There's not an obligation to respond at all, or in any specific way, whether unsolicited or not. The other requirement is that others are treated with respect.
The following is from the Fab FAQs
'There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!
It's not rude not to reply.
Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?'
That's probably the closest that we have, though it refers to 'messages.'

Generally, I think that most people prefer to have had prior communication, to the sending of friend requests and some may perceive them as inappropriate. |
