Making Friends on Facebook

Friending

You should send friend requests to friends, family and other people you know and trust on Facebook. You can add a friend by searching for them and sending them a friend request. If they accept, you automatically follow that person, and they automatically follow you — which means that you may see each other's posts in News Feed. If you'd like to see updates from people you find interesting but don't know personally, like a journalist or celebrity, try following them instead.

To unfriend someone:
  1. Go to that person's profile
  2. Hover over Friends at the top of their profile
  3. Select Unfriend
The person you unfriended won't be notified.
If you don't want someone to see your profile, add you as a friend or send you a message, you can block them.
Note: If you unfriend someone, you'll be removed from that person's friends list as well. If you want to be friends with this person again, you'll need to add them as a friend again.
