What does it mean when I get a friend suggestion on Facebook?
Facebook also gives each user the ability to suggest friends and pages to one another. Someone on your friends list may think you would get along with a friend of theirs or would like to become a fan of a page they like and, therefore, send a suggestion to you.
What happens if you have no mutual friend on Facebook?

Why are there so many friend suggestions on Facebook?

How are people you may know suggested on Facebook?

Why are there so many people on Facebook?
Because there are people out there who get on Facebook to harvest others friends, for various reasons. It’s creepy, and I’m not in the: Why don’t we all just love each other – category. A small few of my friends are famous and there are too many crazy voracious people out there who don’t own what they do.
