How to See the Friends You Requested on Facebook

Catch up with childhood friends and old classmates on Facebook.

Facebook lets you and your friends and family communicate with one another, and it's also a place to find new friends. If you see someone on Facebook that you'd like to be friends with, you must submit a Friend Request to network with that person. Facebook doesn't provide a place where you can see a list of pending requests, but you're still able to see your status with a person by viewing your Friends list.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Facebook account using your email address and password.

2. Click on "Accounts," and then click "Edit Friends."

3. Click "Friends" in the "Lists" menu on the left side of the page. All of your current friends appear.

4. Look for any person with "Friend Request Pending" beneath their name. This person has not yet either approved or rejected your request.

Tips & Warnings

• It's also possible to view your Friend Request status by going to a person's profile. "Awaiting Friend Confirmation" means the request hasn't been approved yet. "Remove friend" means your request was approved. If you see "Add as Friend," you haven't yet sent a Friend Request to that person.
