Facebook privacy settings BEFORE adding someone as a friend?

[Jennifer]

I've recently met a few people who want to add me as a Facebook friend. The problem is that I do want to add them as a friend but I don't know them well enough yet to let them see everything on my Facebook page. My question is, how do I block access to certain features on my page BEFORE accepting them as a friend? In the past after accepting them, I'd just quickly change all the privacy features I didn't want them to see, but it would be awesome if I could do that before. Maybe there's a way and I'm just ignorant but I'd love some advice. Thanks!

you can't do that Before adding a person..
you have to add him/her and then keep them in the 'restricted' mode,,so that they can only see ur profile and not your albums,photos,or any notifications..

I agree with shree.
You wont be able to do any thing before add. After adding the same time you can add them to restricted. Then they wont see all in your profile.

You can do it. Just get used to using Friend's Lists to control your privacy.


Read through this carefully and understand the principles:

Then edit every post you made so that only people on any custom friends list can see it.

Facebook changes privacy settings and controls on a regular basis so you should keep an eye on a few "tech - how to" sites for the latest news on Facebook problems.
