Colleague request - how does it work if...

[Account Closed]

Assume that I send someone a colleague request.

1. If they decline I assume that my request is canceled and I get it back so to speak.

2. If for some reason the person is busy and does not respond after a certain amount of time will the request time on? On LinkedIn there is a time out for certain types of request where you have a fixed or limited number of requests (like colleague requests).

3. Lets assume everything is manual. Assume further that after a week or two the other person does not reply. I go to the list of pending requests and delete my request to them. Do they actually see anything that indicates that I was trying to get in touch? Just in case there were busy for a few weeks and would be interested in sending me a request when they come back to the site.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with the above.
