Sinful Sunday: Sending/accepting random invites
I think most people that play online with other people have gotten a random invite or maybe you're someone who sends random invites to other people, I guess you can't escape that when you play with other people. Not that it's a terrible thing but you should realize that not everyone likes that and so not everyone would accept a random invite, especially when you haven't said a thing to that person.
Why would people not accept a random invite?
Some people prefer to first talk with someone before accepting a random invite, because if you don't know that person then why would you want to be friends with that person or be a part of his or her team? Of course we're all strangers at first but that doesn't mean that everyone is ok with just accepting a random invite, I know that some people don't make a big deal out of that but there are also people that do make a big deal out of that. For example there are people that first want to get to know you before they accept an invite to become friends, probably because they already have a lot of friends or they only accept friend invites from people they know or at least got to know a bit better. I must admit that I don't accept random invites either, it's not that I want to be a dick to people but I just have negative experiences with that. For example I have accepted a random invite from a guy and at first things were cool, we played some games together and talked a bit every now and then. But after several weeks I never heard from the guy again, I don't know what exactly happened but he was just silent. I was still one of his friends in his list of friends but somehow I never heard from him again, which makes it a bit awkward (in my opinion) to be friends when you're both online but never talk to eachother again or play games together. So after a month or so I kicked him out of my list of friends. I know that not everyone is like that and you could meet some fun people to hang around with online, but it's such a big gamble and I prefer to first get to know someone a bit better before I accept an invite. Just because we had one fun or succesful match together doesn't mean that we will get along or will continue to play games together and I prefer not to have people in my list of friends with whom I never play games.
Why do people keep sending random invites?
Well I think it's safe to say that people just want to play games with other people but don't really want to be bothered with the details of first sending a message and asking but directly go for the friend or team invite. It's not an awful thing to do, it's just that not everyone likes that and you shouldn't be surprise that not everyone will accept that random invite. If you want to play games with people then you could go online and meet other people (for example on a forum), talk with people and get to know them a bit better. If you get along and play on the same console or you're both PC gamers and play the same games then you could ask if he or she wants to team up with you. It takes a little bit of effort but the results can be quite good. Unfortunately you don't always get lucky, sometimes people try to get in touch with other people but they get no response on their message. What's worse is that sometimes girls get like a lot of responses and a guy who posts almost the exact same message gets hardly any responses, that's unfortunately also something that happens and doesn't really motivate you to put yourself out there. But even if you only meet one or two people out there with whom you become good friends and have a lot of fun playing games with then it's worth it!
