Question

If people are my friends, how are they made mutual friends?

Community Answer

A mutual friend means that you share the same friend with another person. For example, say you are friends with Bob and Sally, and Bob and Sally are also friends with each other. When you look on either Bob or Sally's profile, you will see that the other friend will be a mutual friend, because you both have the same friend.

Question

What can I do if I am not getting any responses?

Community Answer

Message them with something they like or ask them if they want to hang out. However, if they stay unresponsive, you may need to talk to them face to face to see if they are even using Facebook on any regular basis or to find out what else might be up.

Question

I need mutual friends on my Facebook list of friends, how can I make this happen?

You don't "need" friends to be mutual friends, although it helps strangers to trust you more if you are friends with someone they know. The easiest way to build mutual friends is to look at who Facebook claims are mutual. Look at the person's profile to make sure they are someone you might like, then Friend them. You can also search for people you know, such as real friends from school or a group.

Question

How do I get to the mutual friends page on Facebook?

Top Answerer

There is no "mutual friends page" on Facebook. Facebook sometimes presents to a user friends you may know, who happen to have mutual friends as you have. Let's use a class of 30 students as an example.... not all 30 will be friends with each other. Maybe Sally and Julie are friends. You and Julie are friends on Facebook. So Sally is a potential mutual friend. If Sally is friends with 4 other people, and you are friends with 2 of the same people, those 2 are mutual friends between you and Sally. Mutual means nothing except "You are friends with someone who is also friends with someone else who might be someone you want to be friends with too." Check profile before friending.

Question

How do I make a single friend on Facebook mutual?

You cannot label anyone as a "mutual friend". Facebook does that through Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs. You can look up someone you know who also knows someone else you know-- all of you would be mutual friends.
