facebookfacebook-friend-request
Someone sent me a friend request. I didn't know who they were because their Facebook profile was obfuscated, so I rejected it. Later, they told me they were the one who sent it. So, I asked her to send the friend request again, but there was no option to do so. There appears to be no option for me to send one, either. We are stuck only able to send messages.
Is there really no way to "reset" the situation and become Facebook friends?
Facebook has removed that feature (Sending a message during a friend request). Instead, you can message that person just before or after you make the friend request. The Message button is located near the Add Friend button.
Sounds like the user's account in question is disabled. The friend count discrepancy can be just caching.
To be positive you can just let your friend head to facebook.com/hacked and let the process take of any inconsistencies that might have happened.
If the request isn't in your notifications or email, then you're going to have to remember the account by memory or your browser history.

According to this it seems you have missed the chance - until Facebook start paying some attention to users, so probably a very long wait.

There seems to be general uncertainty about how far into the future. I have seen estimates of six months, eight to twelve months and a couple of more firm sounding "1 year"s, so I would assume one year.
