Contacting old friends

LegacyUser

Here the situation. I had three really good friends in primary school. We were inseparable and had loads in common. Anyway we ended up going to different secondary schools (not by choice- Parents had the decision) and completely lost touch. Two of us went to one school and two to another, Looking back I can see I made a huge mistake not keeping in contact but at that age I didn't see how important my friends really were to me. 6 years later and I'm in second year in college. I'm not in contact with the friend that I went to secondary school with as she changed and we ended up having little in common. Being a student I of course go on bebo and I found my old friends bebo pages. I realised how little we have changed and how much we still have in common. Freaky things like we obsess over the same bands, films etc. They're kinda quirky and different and not in any way fake or superficial like many of people I'm in college with, (if you knew the college you'd agree!)The question I'm asking is should I contact them and see how things are with them, maybe meet up some time. I'm not trying to replace the friend I've lost in any way. I'm lucky to have the friends I do. There's no bad feelings between us (at least I don't think so) but I don't want to seem like a stalker/psycho. I'm not desperately searching for friends etc. Has anyone been in a similiar situation?

sure dude, go meet up with them, catch up. remember the old days etc. it never hurts to try. better to try than be left wondering "what if" later in life. best of luck

Go for it.

Definately contact them, without a doubt! Start off gently and just leave a comment on their pages, saying something like "Hey, I was just browsing through Bebo and I found your page! Long time no see! How are things with you? We should get a drink/coffee/lunch sometime and catch up, what do you think?".

I've been in that situation, and it's always been fantastic meeting up with people again.

Most of the times it is good to meet old friends, go ahead and have fun. Been in a similar situation and met up with them, had a good laugh about old times.

Just post on the page 'I see you're still as ugly as ever' and nothing else.

Just start talking to them on Bebo or get msn address or something, then once you've gotten back in touch arrange to meet up. That's what I'd do
