Not sure if this is in the right place or not but I accidentally sent someone a FaceBook friend request..... WTF do I do????  BTW, I totally didn't want to send this request, it happened after I saw the person had been checking out my myspace more than a lot and so I just searched them on facebook.

Canceling the friend request from the profile page works but doesn't the person still get the request in their e-mail? Does the "requester's" e-mail address show?

Can the person you sent/canceled request to see that you sent it? Accidentally sent one, then cancelled a few hours later. Will they know I sent it, then later cancelled it?

1. Log in to Facebook.

2. Search for the person in the top search box.

3. Once you find the person in the list, click on his/her name to open his/her profile.

4. The profile page will show a button labled as "Friend Request Sent" on the top right area, and this button would have a little drop down button on it's right.

5. Click on the drop down button, you would get the option "Cancel Friend Request". Click "Cancel Friend Reqeust" and it will do the trick for you.

Deactivating your facebook will not UNsend the freind request you sent. They will still get the friend request but wont be able to see any info about you if your account is still deactivated (ie; if you have not logged back in to that account).

I've been getting friend request confirmations from people I didn't send a request to. I don't know what I did to send them a request, but I'd like to rectify this. I don't like knowing I sent these requests without realizing it. Help! Does anyone know what I did or how I can find out who all I accidentally sent requests to?

If you block them right away will the friend notification be sent?

I happened to send FaceBook friend request to someone I dislike at all and I deactivated my account. Would he still know I sent the request?

They may be in your hidden requests... or your just going to have to send them a request with a posted note of "meant to add you" and wait for them to add you. once you delete a request though there really isnt a magical way of getting it back. I guess the back button may work, but knowing how facebook setup is, it'll probably just take you to the page you were on before the friend request page.
