You can add a symmetrical relationship without approval

There is no approval mechanism as part of django-relationships -- it simply provides a way for connecting users and querying those relationships. The test is correct in that it is testing that a symmetrical relationship is automatically created.

Suppose you wanted to build a facebook site w/approvals...you would have one user "follow" another (1-way), then the pending requests would be a given user's followers (excluding those they followed in turn). When a user wanted to "approve" a request, they would simply follow in turn and the relationship would become symmetrical.

This isn't built into django-relationships because the logic for handling approvals will probably be app-specific.

I ended up making my own views for this, in a proprietary app called "friends" in the project I'm using django-relationships on.

It sure would cut down and the learning curve and the time it takes to add friending to a project if there were two different example projects included with django-relationships one for Facebook style friends and one for Twitter style friends.

I would be happy to help work on adding the Facebook style example app, since I have a lot of that work mostly done.

Thank you so much, I will take a look at making this happen but if you've already got a lot of the wokr out of the way I'd be happy to review and merge.

Since my code is in it's own app that depends on django-relationships, it might be better if I just put my code in a gist or something and then have you suggest the best way to re-use the code.
