How to Cancel Friend Requests You Send on Facebook
Before you can communicate with individuals on Facebook, you must send a Friend Request to the person and have him accept the request. If you sent a Friend Request to the wrong person or if you change your mind about adding someone as a Friend, it is not possible to directly retract the Friend Request. By blocking the individual and then unblocking them, however, you can effectively cancel the Friend Request you sent.

Go to the persons profile page. At the top right will be a box that says "Friend request sent". Click on that buttona and you will get a drop down menu. At the bottom of that list is the option to "Cancel friend request".
