Question about sending a facebook friend request?

[Rachel L]

I sent someone a friend request on facebook a week or so ago and never got a response so I canceled the request and resent it. A few minutes later I go back to that person facebook page and it no longer said friend request sent it was showing I had to add friend. Why only after a few minutes is it showing that I had to add friend?
AbraXus the part where you said facebook doesn't want you deleting your request and then resending it do you know that for sure?

[abraXus]

because that person denied your request

and facebook doesnt want you deleting your request and resending it

some people just leave it pending when they dont want to accept it
