I enjoy the job that I do, when I first got the job, I wasn’t sure if I’d make any friends or not, but I did. so a lady at work, keeps looking at me. to be polite and ease the situation I smiled back at her, after this I got on, with my work and made myself a drink. after a while has passed, she comes over to talk, starts conversation you know how it goes. hi, I’m such, and such, what’s your name? etc. when I was on my facebook, which I’m not on that often. out of the blue I get a friend request from her. do I accept the request or reject it? the question to that answer is, I accepted it. I’m worried that because I’ve accepted it she’s going to find out things about me and what I post. why would she send me a request? is it a game or genuine? help

If you have a quick reflex to accept every friend-request you receive, without stopping to think; you will invite all sorts of nosy people into your personal-life.
If you're feeling paranoid, unfriend your co-worker and block access. I see no reason for suffering any anxiety when somebody doesn't respond to a message on FB. Shrug it off, and forget about it. You can unfriend and block her too.
Don't be so intense. Chill!

 I have to ask, what on earth do you post on your Facebook page that you are so worried about co-workers finding out? Remember Facebook is a PUBLIC forum and be careful what you share.

 It all depends, do you WANT coworkers on your Facebook?
If you aren't sure I'd leave the friend's request alone and not accept JUST yet. You don't HAVE to accept all friend
requests you get.
And yes, some people like to snoop.
Personally, I think keeping work and private life separate is smart.
