If you’re looking for a way to make new friends on Facebook, there are a few things you can do to get started. One way is to send a friend request. When you do, Facebook will ask if your friend is available to make a conversation. If your friend is unavailable, Facebook will show you some other friends that might be interested in talking with you. Another way to make new friends on Facebook is by joining groups. Groups are great because they let you connect with other people who share the same interests or goals. You can also join groups if you want to learn more about something or meet new people who share your interests. If all of these methods don’t work for you or you just want to start making more friends on Facebook, there are some other ways to do it. You can sign up for newsletters and receive updates about new deals and events that are happening on Facebook. You can also follow people who interest you and see what they post about each day.

Situations Where You Can’t Send a Friend Request
If you’re in one or more of the following situations, you can’t send someone a Facebook friend request:
You’ve already sent the person a friend request. You or that person has reached the maximum friend limit. As of May 2022, that limit is 5,000 friends. You can remove one of your friends to send a friend request. You’ve blocked the person you want to send a friend request. You can unblock them to then send a request. The person may have changed their Facebook privacy settings to not allow anyone to send them friend requests. This is something they need to change in their account to let you befriend them.
