I didn't realize how long it had been since I've been on here. It's been a while. My hubbie has a new job now. One that actually treats him right and he gets paid for all his hours. So that's good news. Our Subaru is acting up. We think there is something wrong with the linkage. My hubbie is going to have it looked at tomorrow after work.

So, I just found someone on the internet that I was really close friends with from 5th grade to 7th grade. So far, the only correspondence we've shared is that I told him I knew him from school and he figured out who I am. We haven't spoken in many years or seen each other in just as long. How do I open up a dialogue? How do I know if he even wants to talk to me? I've been wondering about him a lot lately. I'm missing the close friendships of my youth. How do I go about befriending the person he is now? Any suggestions?

    welcome back...

    i suggest setting up an email account and just trading emails for a little bit to see if you even have anything to talk about.
    I suppose the natural topic to start with is where you are now, and where he is.

    loria, welcome back! :>

    first, tell your old friend that you're married! otherwise he might mistake your intentions.

    second, as SL suggested, use e-mail. you can pack more into an e-mail than you can a phone call, i find.

    Thanks for the advice. Last Sunday I sent him a message, just asking how he was and if he was surprised to hear from me. I haven't received a response. I wonder if this means that he doesn't want to talk to me. I can't help feeling a bit let down by this. I haven't sent another message because I don't want to be annoying.

    Well, I sent him another message. I tried not to sound like I was upset. I just said that I wouldn't be sending him another message. I put that there's no hard feelings, I understand that we've grown and changed and that maybe it is too late to renew an old friendship. I told him that I hope life is good to him and that he does well in whatever he does. Did I do the right thing?

    well, i wouldn't have sent the second message. wait a few days, or maybe a week--who knows, he may be traveling or something.
