I have a couple-three journals that don't have me friended. In my case it's because they have something I might want. One is a jewelry seller's blog, and a couple of others are artist's blogs.

I'm here for the social life. Usually I let people friend me, and I friend them back. I've been invited to friend someone before and did so and then that person never friended me back. That sort of hurt, so after about 6 months, I defriended her.

I guess I take the passive approach to friending, but I'm really over the average age of a LJer, and I 'd feel funny friending strangers that were 30 years younger than I am without their permission: )
