How do you feel about contacting people you havent talked to in years? I'm not talking about people who you used to be best friends with for 10 yrs and you havent talked to them in 6 months. I mean more people like.. you knew them in elementary school and you are now out of college or something like that.

Have you had it happen to you? With facebook/myspace/etc, I have been contacted by a few really random people.. sometimes I'm glad sometimes not...

On average, how do you feel about out of the blue attempts to "reconnect" ?

yeah i saw my 9th grade gf in a grocery store, but i hid in the other isle... now i wish i had talked to her....
maybe ill try to look her up.
 
Facebook is awesome when it comes to contacting people. I found this one girl that goes to branch campus of my Univ. I facebooked messaged her saying "i lived in this town, but moved blah. blah.... " and the such. Didn't know who she was, but was like so has anything happened there.

She facebooked messaged me back, and was like i think i might remember you. I of course had know idea who she was. I would have to dig up the old yearbook to jog my brain.

But, Yes, i think you shoudl try to contact people you lost touch with. As said before. what do yo uhave to loose. I myself in slowly trying to do it. But it gets tough to try and coordinate stuff. and of course not sound too creepy in the process. I, myself don't expect anything to really come of oit when i do it. I'm happy enough if people I knew and haven't seen or talk to in 8+ years approve my friend request on the Facebook. I thihnk i would feel wierd going back to my old town and recognized people I once knew, but couldn't recall their name.
 
My best friend in college contacted me after finding me on classmates.com last November. It was wonderful. I hadn't talked to him in over 15 years. We chat every day now and have met each other's families. It's great to get a best friend (he's not an ex-boyfriend) back after so many years.
 
My ex-gf (on and off from 88-91) contacted me via email thru classmates.com a few months ago. We talk on MSN messenger several times each week. We're both seeing someone else, but it's nice to know that we can still be friends after all this time. She lives about 3.5 hours from me and maybe one of these days we'll hook up for lunch. 🙂
 
I had a girlfriend of mine call me, around christmas time, out of the blue. I hadn't talked to her in 5 years. She made my day, she left me a great message, I listened to it 3 times before I called her. We picked up like old times.

I've known her over half my life, which blows my mind, and she is still here. 🙂
