Did you use the word “genial” in your friendship request? Do you realize that the majority of “online” friends are not really friends at all? Does this person have a computer/phone/online access? Do they use it regularly? Do they use social media? So. Many. Questions.
Maybe he/she thinks you’re a little unstable… cuz this is a normal reaction.
