So this is silly, but I'm just at a loss of what to do. My bf just joined the modern world and got a Facebook account. His ex wasted no time finding him and leaving him a comment about his network, which insinuated that he had moved and not let her know about it (as if he has too do that). Fine, whatever. They aren't really friends irl, but she feels the need to call him on holidays and whenever a big event happens in her life (she found out she was pregnant and called him). For the record, he lets her calls go to voicemail and doesn't return them.
But anyway, she just friend requested me. What? I've never met her. Weird. I don't know if I should ignore it or accept it.
Ah, the lovely nuances of social networking sites.
I say take his lead and just ignore it. If your BF has made no attempts to keep up his end of the friendship then she's just weird continuing to call etc.

This is weird and rude. I'd just ignore it if I were you - if she's this invested in a "friendship" that your boyfriend basically ignores, then she might want to be your friend so she can "spy" on you and see the page of who he's moved on to be with, kwim?

Thanks, everyone. I guess I'll ignore it. He's annoyed because he put off getting an account for this exact kind of problem. I'm really selective about who I allow on my friends list and everything is set to private. Basically, I use it to keep in touch with people and also as viral marketing for my business (on a different page). He joined because his family has a business and they are planning to use viral marketing, too. Ugh. He wants to leave Facebook now. Can't say I blame him.
OMG. She's totally stalking his whole family. They all joined Facebook to promote their business and she's hunting them down. What a weirdo. She really needs to let it go. I told the bf that she friend requested me and he agreed with you all- she's just trying to get more info that she doesn't need to know.

I was just going to say STALKER before I went down and read this! Something is wrong in the head with that chick! Also...How interesting that just as soon as your bf created a facebook page that she found him. She must have been searching for him everyday on all social networks! Freak!
Ooh, I knew a few girls in school who would do this - so that they could snoop on the girlfriend and maybe find something to complain about or make fun of her. Or, if the girlfriend didn't friend them, they had something to complain about because she was supposedly then not being friendly.
Sorry, she sounds like a pill.
Although maybe she was trying to be less threatening. Like, "It would look bad if I didn't friend his girlfriend too if I'm talking to him on facebook..." That's something clueless I would do.
I agree with everyone to just ignore her! You don't know her so who cares if she thinks you are being rude to her. There is no reason for you to strike up a friendship with her and I agree she is probally just trying to spy on you.
Absolutely ignore her...my husband has a stalker exactly like that. They dated years ago and throughout the years she has texted him, called him, e-mailed him, and she continually requests to be his friend him on Facebook. My husband continually ignores her requests and tells her to go away and leave him alone.
She has even gone so far as to call me hateful names, and she has never met me. She requests to be my friend so she can spy on me too, and I just keep ignoring her. She used to make me so mad, but now I just ignore her. I don't know if she'll ever go away!!!
