    If you ran into someone on Facebook, as in, you saw there post because they were a friend of a friend or something, and you hadn't seen them in like 2-6 years, would you send them a friend request?

    It really depends on the situation. If I have been on good terms with this person and/or have a decent history with 'em, then why not?

    I probably wouldn't if they were a standard acquaintance and did not exactly "mesh" with them in the past.

    I used to. But the last few years I've really toned down the number I people I friend/accept.

    I've ignored childhood friends who sent me friend requests. I just have no desire to reconnect with anyone from my past. There are two many things about my life that I would have to explain, and I just don't feel comfortable doing that.
