So I had a facebook friend request from someone with a familiar name. If it's who I am thinking of, I worked with her at my very first job out of college 14 years ago. I literally gave notice the day of my 3 month review for something that actually paid a living wage and was related to my degree She was nice enough, it was a small department but we weren't close. She was very religious and conservative, I think she thought I was wild and young.
I went to write something on her wall b/c I'd like to know how she was and what she was up to and then I was like...what if it's not her? I am assessing the photo. It definitely could be her. She had very short hair when we worked together and wore glasses. She only has one facebook photo and her hair is a lot longer, her face is fuller and no glasses. It's hard to remember that far back. It must be her right lol? I don't know how she would have found me b/c my facebook is under my married name and I wasn't married then. We have no friends in common.
I have two friend requests from people I share no friends in common with so now I am second guessing. I also have two "friends" who I don't even know, but I accidentally clicked on add friend when I was looking at friends' profiles lol. They have interesting lives so I keep them around!
There is no purpose to this post. I am just bored on the Internet.

I'd just ignore the friend request. I don't see any need to block her. If it is who you think it is, would you want to be friends with her? If so, I'd send a message asking her how she knows you. If not, ignore.
Honestly, I'd block her. You don't know her really, it's 14 yrs and while the stalking to fid you via your married name is creepy.
Block her? Really? They may have had the same hometown, or previous work, or a tiny insignificant detail in common and Facebook was all "oh hey, you should be her friend!" I'm thinking that's more likely, and the girl added her because she recognized OP from photos... I apologize in advance if she's out to skin suit you and I'm blowing off the paranoia.
I'd just send her a message and see if she is who you think. You were going to write on her wall, so it sounds like you would be willing to say hello and touch base.
