An inbox message describing your reasons to send a request would be appreciated, if I dont know you directly.
Okay, I don't want to praise myself here on facebook, so Ill make it simple. I'm a self observed person, who generally doesn't wants to speak out his heart, I speak too much, Im talkative, but not that expressive vocally.
I like meeting new people, making friends, and thats why I always prefer an inbox message accompanied friend request. Helps to know if Im not being spammed.
Lets be best friends. : D
