Why are you not understanding this? :|

Leaving the friend requests there forever is the best idea.

I routinely delete people I haven't talked to in 5+ years on Facebook.

And then when they friend request me again, I drink my wine and laugh maniacally as I deny their request.

I've been lucky in that every friend request I've declined hasn't bothered to try again.

Of course I also probably don't show up on a lot of other people's lists of "potential FB friends". The only friends I have on there are people I hang out with in real life, military friends I stay in contact with, and EOFFers.
