If I cancel a friend request on FaceBook, is there any chance the person will see it?

I accidentally sent a friend request to a girl I like but don't know nearly well enough to justify a friend request. Especially considering one can easily get the impression I don't pad my friends list with acquaintances.

I know that the notification will be erased on Facebook itself, but I'm a little worried that maybe her Facebook app left a notification on her phone. I have doubts that would be deleted as well.

Oh well, could be worse, at least we have a mutual friend, so there's an excuse for "stumbing upon" her page.

Why not just cancel Facebook and get real friends.

I don't see any problem either way. You can just cancel the friend request and she won't notice it I guess or just let her respond if you like her. One more friend in FB won't hurt either of you.

I don't think so he can see that request if she is not online at same time...

she won't get the actual friend request on facebook but she might get an email that you sent her a friend request.
