Facewait 

The act of not immediately confirming Facebook friend requests, thereby portraying oneself as having more important things to do than online social networking. Not unlike the three day rule for calling a potential mate after acquiring his/her telephone number.
Guy 1: "Dude, who's that hottie sitting in your pending request file? You should accept that ASAP."

Guy 2: "No doubt she's bangin', but I want her to sweat a little. I'll facewait it for another day or two."

Cryptic posts in facebook that express a vague sentiment but do not provide any details, clearly designed to bait friends to ask follow-up questions.
A facebook wall post that could be considered facebait would be posts like "Today is the day!" or "Ugh, I am over it..." or "Now I know why I should stay home..." or "Hurt and disappointed..."

Facebaiting 

Posting to Facebook only to get a specific reaction from a specific person. Causes nearly all Friends to say, "Huh?", but one particular Friend to say, "Oo. I know what that's about." Not always negative. Not always positive.
Did you see that come across your News Feed?

Something's definitely up. He/she's Facebaiting somebody.
