My girlfriend [34F] won't add me [40M] as a friend on Facebook. What's going on?

My girlfriend hasn't accepted my friend request on Facebook, and at first, I thought she simply hadn't noticed it. However, I've noticed that she has accepted around 30 other people since I sent the request, which makes me wonder if she feels embarrassed about me or is hiding something. I can't help but feel like I'm overreacting, but it's hard to understand why this is happening, especially considering she has around 700 friends on her account. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I plan to bring it up the next time we see each other, but it's really bothering me. How would you suggest approaching this? Does this seem normal to anyone?

It sounds tough, but try not to jump to conclusions. She might have her reasons. Bring it up gently when you're together and express how you feel. Open communication is key!

It’s understandable to feel confused and concerned about this. Social media can sometimes complicate relationships. When you bring it up, approach it gently and express your feelings without accusing her. You might say something like, "I noticed my friend request is still pending, and it’s been on my mind." This invites a conversation without putting her on the defensive. Remember, there could be many reasons, and open communication is key. Good luck!
