buddypress already has a similar feature, it’s called bp friends, I can’t remember if it’ a standalone plugin, or if it’s its own plugin, but I also use that on my site. With the friends plugin, you can friend, and the user has to accept the friend request (which friends them back). This plugin also has support I believe with rtmedia’s privacy levels where you can friend people and then set post privacy levels so that only your friends can see the activity. (I might have made that functionality myself though, I can’t remember, I’ve written a lot of code). With the followers plugin, it’s just like regular followers where you would follow them and they don’t have to follow you back, and the user gets a following activity feed. that’s why I have both.
