Well, just have a block system, so that people can block, or delete people off their buddy list, and with deleting, you could just make it a block/remove from visible list.

Okay..w ell bad example I guess, but I want it that if one has one, the other has the one... so they HAVE to have each other. If one chooses to delete it, then they cannot see each other...

As for the IM's I use, (AIM, Yahoo, MSN and ICQ), it isn't required that the other person have me on their buddy list for me to have them on mine.

Well, you could have a table of

general_id / friend_1 / friend_2

Then check the list to see if the person is in Friend_1 or Friend_2

But, this poses a problem, because in IM programs, everyone has their own list, and if you want to remove someone from the list, doesn't mean you're removed from their's. Also, different people have different properties, such as an alias name, and whether or not they are blocked, etc.

It may seem redundant, but it makes the most sense.
