What does it mean when you send a friend request and it says message?

The sender WILL know if they go to check up on the 'progress' of the request. If it says “friend request sent” and “message” on the person's profile, then the person has yet to decide. If it says “message” only, then the person has said both “not now” AND “Mark as spam” to the request.
