I've been trying to add someone for a few days now and whenever I click onto 'Add friend', I'm told that I've 'already sent this person a friend request' but when I refresh the page, the button still says 'Add friend' and the person hasn't seen my request. I've tried blocking and then unblocking but the same thing still happens.
@Lucygraham,
It's probably that person's privacy settings.
@jespah,
But all of my mutual friends can add them, it's just me who can't.
@Lucygraham,
Still their settings (probably). You might not have been put into the same group (by them) as the others. Why not just ask them to send you a friend request?
@Lucygraham,
Are they expecting you to add them? if so, ask them to do the add.
As Jespah said, groups and settings can effect who can add/be added.
@Lucygraham,
Have you looked at the list of sent friend requests and canceled any outstanding requests to the person? If not, do so and then send a new request. FB won't let you stack friend requests to a person. They have to be canceled and then reissued.
@Butrflynet,
Yes, I've looked at this too, each time I try to press 'undo request', it refreshes and tells me to 'Add friend' and then says 'You've already sent this person a friend request' again.
@Lucygraham,
That could be because they deleted the first friend request.
Try sending them a private message and ask them to befriend you.
