Making an object that contains a user

Hi there,

I'm trying to implement a friend request system in an app I'm working on, and for some reason, I can't save a PFUser object in an object I create...How do I get around this/fix this?

This is my code to simply get the user saved into the object FriendRequest2:

PFObject *friendRequest = [PFObject objectWithClassName:@"FriendRequest2"];
    friendRequest[@"user"] = [PFUser currentUser];

    [friendRequest saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {

        if (succeeded) {


            UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Yay" message:@"Friend request sent" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
            [alert show];



        } else {

            NSLog(@"user was not saved");
        }
    }];


//When I run this, "user was not saved" is displayed, and nothing is saved in parse.

Mod Edit: Edited your code block to include all your code and add syntax highlighting - Patrick
