Adding a Half-Sister on Facebook: Tips for Handling Friend Requests

[kcjodih]

Okay, I just received a 'friend request' from a half-sister that I haven't spoken to in over 7 years (long story).

I'm hesitate, but willing to add her as a friend but if it gets out of hand I want to be able to UNfriend her. Is that possible? I don't care if she knows I do it or not but I just want to know I'll be able to do so if necessary.

Does anyone know FOR SURE?

Yes. If you click on the tab at the top of the page that says friends you'll get a list of your friends. If you click on the X to the far right of the friend you want to delete you will get this message: Remove friend?
Are you sure you want to remove XXXXXXXXX as a friend? This cannot be undone. XXXXX will not be notified.It says it can't be undone but I think that means you can't reverse it... if down the road you wanted to add them again I'm pretty sure you could send them another request and as long as they approved you'd be "friends" again.

Actually it is really easy to remove a friend. In your friends list on the right side there is a little x in a box, that does it.

Thanks Jolene and Holly! Much appreciated. I guess I'll give it a try and see what happens.
