OK Phil. Do this.
I presume that you are using Safari.
Go into Safari, and go to the preferences with Command+Comma.
Interact with the toolbar, and go to the advanced tab.
OK, under here, we're looking for a checkbox that says something to the
effect of showing the developer menu in the menu bar. You need to check
this box, then command+W to close preferences.
OK, now, let's go to
http://m.facebook.com
Now, before doing anything, go to your menu bar, and go to the developer
menu.
Under here, go to User agent.
Then, under the user agent sub menu, go to Firefox. I know this sounds
totally irrellavent, but please just hear me out on this.
This should reload the page.
Now, log in, if needed.
Go to the person's FB page with the mobile formatted URL.
For example, my Facebook page with the mobile formatted address is:
http://m.facebook.com/chris28210
so basically, it's m.facebook.com slash user name.
On this page, since you're logged in, look for something that says add
friend. Go there, and boom!
If you don't see this, then it probably means this other person has their FB
privacy settings set in such a way that people cannot directly send them FB
friend requests, at which point, go to their page, and find a link that says
message. Not to be confused with the messages link at the top of the page.
Go there, and send them a private message, asking them to send you instead,
a friend request.
If you can't even message them either, then, sorry, pal. You're then out of
luck.
Chris.

Subject: need basic Facebook help
For the life of me I can’t find a way to send a friend request on either the
mobile Facebook site or via the IOS Facebook app. I know, how basic, but I’ve
never bothered with Facebook before now. I want to send a friend request to
someone. I have their Facebook page, but can’t find anything that looks like
a “send request” link.
Please help. either with Facebook app or the m.facebook site.
