Someone Favorited You

I should have qualified my last post with, "If you click on a profile on a competitors site it will show you who they are friends with whether you are friends with them or not." Obviously someone can look at their Friends list on SLS to see who they are friends with, but that's a specific page that someone has to go to for that purpose. When's the last time anyone looked at their Friends page just because?

As mentioned, nobody sees your Favorites but you, and the suggestion was to somehow make it known that someone Favorited you. That would be kind of like the "Like" or "Flirt" on some competitors sites, and many just see that as lazy. I can see one possible exception.

There are profiles of couples I view that I like but will not reach out to them if our weekends are already booked a month out in advance. I never think to use Favorites for that, but I suppose that was the intent. I do make use of Profile Notes though.

Any date out more than a couple weeks I've found isn't likely to happen. We put it in our calendar but, more often than not, others do not. When the date comes close and we touch base, it's about 50/50 that they forgot and made other plans for the same day. We also prefer parties over 2 on 2's, and some parties don't get scheduled much farther out than a couple weeks.

Yep. Friends and Favorites are 2 different things.

Friends know they are on your Friends' list. Favorites have no clue that you're stalking them if you've disabled WVM.

SLS does exactly that. I think you are confusing Favorites with Friends.

Unlike a competitors site, SLS does not show who you are Friends with. If you unFriended someone they could likely see that you were no longer friends if they looked at your profile, but I think that's about it. They may not even notice otherwise.

Just my $0.02, but a message is probably the best way to gauge interest. If they're interested, they'll respond back. If not, there's no point in "Favoriting" them.

Nice idea

Write and tell them they seem lovely, but the friend request was an accident. If you're all feeling social, meet for a drink or coffee.

Wait, what? Be honest?

This is the Internet, that's not how this works. ;-)

Yeah, we know. We hate to spoil a newbies' hopes. We're trying to decide between delete the "friend" and ask to meet or ask to meet then delete them as a friend after explaining in person what happened. From their profile, they do sound like a nice couple.

And send them a message telling them you don't use the Friends feature and sending the request was an error.

Just remove them as a friend.

Somehow we accidentally sent a friend request to a new couple (replaced that mouse). I thought we deleted the request, but, SURPRISE! we got a message saying they accepted our friend request. We don't do the friend thing on here. We know who our friends are.

Now we have our first (and only) SLS "friend". How do you tell someone it was a mistake? They seem like a nice couple.

Nice to know that you tag a profile as a private llst.

<p>That is what the Friend feature is for. Someone can use it as a two way connection between them and you and you will receive a notification if they send you a Friend request.</p>

<p>The Favorites feature is just a way for someone to have a private list of profiles that they want to keep track of for some reason.</p>

I feel like it would be a nice feature to receive a notification when someone “favorites” you. Even if you don’t see who it is. Because people “viewed me” doesn’t always mean much. But knowing you are going on people’s favorite lists is kind of a nice boost.
