How to see sent request on facebook

Facebook is a great way of keeping in touch with friends; you can share photos, chat, and keep up to date with each other’s lives – if the person you want to be friends with you, that is.

The reality is, not everyone wants to be your Facebook friend. Everyone uses Facebook differently, some accept friend requests from everyone, others want to keep work and home life separate, while some people just ignore requests altogether.
