Is it normal for someone to ignore your friend request and then talk to you as usual

I sent someone a Facebook friend request in my office the other day. There's only about 7 of us in the office and we see each other everyday. I only joined Facebook recently to try to socialise with them better (since I'm extremely shy in work). I already knew they were all on Facebook and all talked to each other regularly on there. So I sent them all a friend request and was accepted by all of them except one. I don't know why she ignored it since she's friends with everyone else in the office. And I know she must've seen it cos she posted on Facebook a couple hours after I sent it to her. Then today when I went into work again, she acted completely normal and pleasant to me as she usually does. Asking how my weekend was and smiling and everything, not a bit of awkwardness or anything. Is that normal?

    That's happened to me before (and I almost never add anyone, so it was really noticeable to me).

    8 months later they asked me why I never added them and I said I did! And then they said they never received the notification.

    Turns out he just didn't know how to check his adds on the new updated Facebook and there were a lot of people who had added him that he never replied to 😂😂😂

    Long story short, it could just be a mix-up. Why not just ask?

    Women tend to get a bunch of friend requests, she might have not just seen it. Talk to her about it maybe...

    Some people get weird about coworkers as friends on FB. It could be they want their personal life personal. I’ve been rejected before so I understand
