I just got a friendship request on FB from a guy I grew up with 30 years ago. He talked me into doing all sorts of bad things as a kid and grew up to be a very abrasive person I would never spend time with today.
The nice thing about FB is that you can simply click the "ignore" button and the other person will never know you did it and will probably assume you don't log into your FB account much if at all.
I clicked "ignore" on this guy and I've done it to a couple of other people I used to know... one was an old flame I have no reason to connect with any longer (happily married for 22 years and fighting hard to keep it that way).
Ah, personal boundaries. It's great to have them and use them online as well as offline.
