– Do Nothing – Invitations typically expire
after a few weeks. If no action is taken,
you will receive reminders that you have
an outstanding invitation. If an invitation
does expire, assuming the person is very
interested in connecting with you, they
will still have the opportunity to resend
you an invitation.
– Click "decide later" which will archive
the message and prevent the member
from sending you another invitation at a
later time. This, along with the next two
options, will prevent any future reminders
from coming to you.
– You can use the "Reply" link and send
a message back to the inviter. LinkedIn
offers the following as an example, Thank
you for the invitation to connect however
I'm afraid I cannot accept it at this time.
LinkedIn is a powerful tool for managing
my professional network and designed to
help me maintain the connections I have.
It is a LinkedIn best practice to only
connect directly to those whom I know
