Expert Answer

For a personal profile, choose a picture that reflects a really special moment in your life, like a pic of you with your new puppy. For a more professional profile, choose a dynamic headshot that showcases your personality.

Question

How do I send friend requests to people I don't know? I get them from people I don't know.

Community Answer

Just search a random name, click on the profile and press "Add Friend." After that, just wait for the person to respond! If they don't accept your request, don't sweat it and move on!

Question

Can someone confirm a friend without requesting it?

Community Answer

No, it's a two way street. Anyone can suggest, send, accept, ignore or reject a friend request. However, there is nothing to be confirmed (or otherwise) until the request is actually sent.

Question

How do I add a friend?

Community Answer

You search the person you want to Friend. Then you go to his/her profile. Click "Add Friend". This should work unless the person has a privacy setting.
