Simple Design Hack for Facebook [GIF]

Each week I receive at least 30 requests from fake accounts with hot chicks on their profile pictures (and I am very flattered girls) & also there is at least one indian guy (no offense, it's just the way it is). Between these requests there are ones from the people I should know. We have some mutual friends or at least their name doesn't sound strange. But that's the problem: The number of how many “mutual friends” we have together is not telling me shit (especially after you have more than 1000 friends).

How about Facebook would add an optional field of a short custom message, that you could add to your friend request, when you add someone on Facebook? Few characters to freshen' up your friends memory: Did you play in a band together? Is she your cousins wife? Did you go to high school together and now his name has changed?

PS: I swear to God that I have infinite number of mutual friends with Natalie Portman and that I still haven't confirmed Jessica Alba's request.
