One way relationship - Requestee shown as relating to Requester [#630450]

The default for the one way relationship is the requester shown as relating to the requestee -- if I like U2, and request to become a fan, I show up on U2's profile as a fan -- U2 is not a fan of me. =0(

Is it possible to add another option where this is reversed? I have a one way relationship for "client." I want to "add Bob as a client" (not become) - for him to be on my profile as a client. I'm not one of Bob's clients. Thus, I'm needing the requestee shown as relating to the requester.

I have this same issue... someone help!

I want to be able to add someone to my favorites, without showing up as one of their favorites. unless they add me to their favorites as well, of course.

I think #864590: How to create "fans (them to you") view of one way relationship? are duplicate or atleast closely related to each other. Figuring one out should help solve other.

I believe the two issues are actually different. One is talking about creating a view of fans in reverse, (for example, creating a view showing "my fans" or "groups that I am a fan of"), but in both cases, the person who requests the relationship is the one who becomes the "fan". The other is talking about the logic-order of the relationships themselves, where I can click to add them because of their relationship to me, not because of my relationship to them. This is the same as what I was discussing here:

A way to think about this is, let's think about an example where I want to have a relationship "posse member". I would like to be able to tell my friends "Hey, come join my posse". However, if I create a one way relationship of "posse member", I can only become members of their posses. I can't ask them to become members of mine. There should be a way to "add someone as your posse member". Then, I would add my friends, and when they approved, they would become "members of my posse".

Moving this over to a feature request. Would something like this possibly help resolve #455792: default "user_relationships_content" View doesn't work for one-way relationships?

Hello mrf,

What you mention is a little bit different to what I had suggested. In that scenario, a "fan" still has to mark him or herself as a "fan" of somebody. I cannot request them to do this, they have to do it on their own.

In my scenario, it is almost more like an invite feature. You ask someone to become your fan, and if they approve that request, they then become your fan.
