Jane Doe wants to be friends on Facebook -- is that a robot speaking?

This happens frequently. Yes, I'm a member but I don't socialize there mainly because I don't understand stuff like the above title.
Did "Jane Doe" actually solicit my friendship or is Facebook interpolating and extrapolating her current friends and my current friends and therefore makes a logical connection?

If it says Jane Doe wants to be friends, that means she requested you. If it says someone suggested her, then someone else wants you to be friends with her.

Hi Clarity,
I turned texting off on our plan after we got several videos (which incurred extra charge) from relatives. If I want to see a video I'll use my desktop machine and get better quality to boot.
Texting among youngsters today has exposed one of their rudest qualities. Last weekend we sat in a movie theater and to my left, two teenage girls. Every five minutes they'd turn on their phones (to check for messages?) and from my perspective it looked like a pair of flashlights. Very distracting.
