Well, let me split my take into three parts: incoming requests, outgoing requests, and keeping friends.
Incoming requests: You'll immediately get denied if I have no idea who you are, but if you start commenting in my blogs regularly, I may reconsider. If I see you regularly and you seem like a friendly person, then yes, you'll most likely get the friend message.
Outgoing requests: Hardly ever happens. You have to be very well-liked by yours truly to get a request from me. I have high standards ;)
Keeping friends: I have known a few people who tracked me (and I tracked back) but stopped tracking me after some time... it baffles me why they'd want to take me off sometimes, but most of the time it's because I don't comment in their blogs often enough. (Hey, sometimes I get lazy.) The only time I got a "mass desertion" was when I threatened to leave back in February (but let's not get into that.)

In a nutshell, I occasionally accept incoming requests, but almost never send 'em.
