backstory:
I'm in 1st grade, I meet this girl, she's my first crush. Anyway several years later we meet up again in like 5th or 6th grade, again I end up with a crush on her, she was a real nice kid. Anyhow, so on the last day of 6th grade I KNOW that I'm moving to another town..and I'm DYING to say something to her. So end of the day comes and I'm tryin to talk myself into sayin something to her..I'm procrastinating as everyone's leaving..finally I get the courage to go down to her class room to say something as everyone's leaving for the summer...only I'm too late, she had already left and was all the way at the other end of a crowded hall, and the last I ever saw of her she was all the way down the hall leaving the school. I never forgot that feeling in the pit of my stomach. I felt like crap all summer. But to this DAY I will take a chance no matter how slim it is, on any girl, because rejection sucks, but that feeling of 'why couldn't I just have said something' is worse. Obviously I know I wouldn't have married the girl or anything, it was just the principle of the thing.

Well today I'm on facebook lookin for a friend at another college...and I see this girl's name, and I think 'isn't that funny, that's the girl I had a crush on when I was a kid"...then I realize someone told me once that she actually ended up going to the college that I'm searching through....I'm going to say something, but have NO idea what to say.

As you get older you will notice how small the world really is. And there is no sarcasm to be found there.

yeah, I was sorta stunned...the weird thing is I keep running into all these people I used to know. I think there's GOT to be some sort of mathematical explanation underlying social groups.

I wrote something along the lines of : "I was just looking through ****** students looking for a friend of mine and I noticed your name. You wouldn't happen to be from *********, Massachusetts would you? I just happened to go to grade-school with a girl in ******* with the same name and was wondering if you were her. "

well, I did it.

Did you pledge your undying love for her, and told her you have thought about her the past XX years? :)

LOL well I haven't thought about her constantly, just when a pertinent time comes up
