My boyfriend doesn't have a Facebook account but he is in my profile picture and all his friends (which are all colleagues of his) know we are engaged.
I've met most of them, and they like me and got on with me. My boyfriend is very liked by his colleagues too, and he often gets invited out with them. I've even came with him too sometimes (not all the time because I am not one of those girlfriends who always tags along).

But every time I've sent a friend request to one of his friends on Facebook it's got rejected or even deleted.
It makes me feel a bit dejected, especially knowing that my boyfriend is well liked, and that I've met most of them in person.

I thought maybe it's a guy thing, that guys get a bit afraid of adding their friend's girlfriends to their Facebook friends list. But even one of his female colleagues rejected too. She's a lesbian and I got on with her when I met her, in fact I chatted to her the most and I could tell she thought I was a nice person.

So I don't understand. Should I take rejected friend requests personally, or am I just a really bad person?

It might be because since your engaged they think it might be a bad idea. Maybe that's why the female also did it because she's attracted to other women.
