so...i visited a profile of someone that i don't know and then i clicked add as friend and it showed me one message that shows me only to specific people and it said ''do you know this user? If you send a request to a stranger, it will be considered spam and your friend request will be blocked temporarily. Please only send this request if you know this user.'' and then the button on the left side was ''cancel request'' and the other was ''i know 'her' '' and i accidentally clicked the second one cus on the regular Friend request on the left side it says ''send request'' and on the other side it says ''cancel'' ...then i deactivated my account...so my questions are:
1. when she gets the friend request will she know that i clicked ''i know 'her' '' and not that i sent a regular request?
2. now that i deactivated my account will she actually get the friend request?
3.how do i cancel friend requests?

To cancel the request you will have to reactivate your account.

After you activate your account, go back to the page that you visited when you accidentally made the request. At the top of the page by their name it will say "pending request" or "request pending". Next to that, there should be a "cancel request". Just click on that.

As for if she will ever know.... that depends on her e-mail settings. If she has it set to alert her as soon as someone makes a friend request, it was too late to do anything as soon as you clicked the button. Your best hope is that she sees the request, but doesn't care enough to see who made it.

hey dont panic . its nothing special. she will just see a friend request,she wont know anything else about you.now that you have deactivated your account,she wont get your request. you can cancel friend requests before they accept you of course. you visit the profile again,you scroll down,and there is a button at the left which says: "cancel friend request" . click that if that ever happens again. and what you said about u being blocked,its not gonna happen .

If the guy says absolute to the chum request, bypass onto his/her profile, scroll right down to the place it says Block this individual and there should additionally be a delete this individual decision. click that and you're waiting. it may be interior the a procedures left column on the backside.
