Re-connecting with former school students on facebook...

Thoughts_Arrive

I found my former classmate on facebook who was in my home class from year 7 all the way till the last year of high school.
She always had a crush on me but I was always too shy to go out with her mainly because I cared too much what others think (still do). Students going out with other students were always teased, and this girl was made fun of (called surfboard) because she didn't have big boobs in school.
I haven't seen her since we finished high school (9 years ago nearly) but she still looks cute to this day.

Should I request her to add me as a friend or is that creepy?
It is Valentines day tomorrow, perhaps she can mend this lonely heart (if she is still single)....

not creepy at all. you guys were in school for a long time, nothing about you requesting her would be out of the ordinary.

I think it would be creepy to a woman if you did this on Valentine's day.

Yeah I say do it today (Sunday) or Tuesday but avoid Monday so that when she rips your heart out and leaves you dying on the road you will not be reminded every Valentines as the day that you reconnected with her ... and on that cheery note

Happy Valentines Day

I just read the plot on wikipedia.

If you're on facebook, you want to be found. I say go for it.

But first, put her name here, and so we can see her.... (jokes of course)

Kids are way too harsh.

Go for it....

Creep on her hard man. Is she still a surfboard? But one thing I've noticed from facebook is all the girls who used to be hot at school have now spat out 6 kids and look like train wreaks, and all the kinda smart/Geelong unpopular girls got hot. I know it's a total Hollywood cliche, but it's true, for the most part anyway. And the dudes I thought would end up in prison aren't and some even seem to have employment so go figure.

And as for catfish, that was a total stranger he met on facebook, not someone he actually knew, so it's a little hard to bullshit that hard with someone you knew, all be it 9 years ago. But catfish was honestly some crazy shit. But seeing as you read wiki, you have now ruined it and it's probably not worth watching. It is a good dock/film though.

I just read the gist of this film and it sounds creepy and bizarre :? However, strange people are out there and will do anything so long as they are hiding behind a screen name on the internet.

Back to the OP, I think you should go for it and add her as a friend since you went to school together. I think she'd remember you and add you and take it from there. Good luck.

Add her, nothing wrong with connecting with old friends. People who bullied me in high school friend requested me and I accepted them, it's in the past, I don't hold grudges.

I would never accept those who gave me a hard time in high school facebook as friends.

Size does not matter to me.

my profile is private, you cannot even find me on search
I don't want to be found, I just got my friends and family on my list.

So she doesn't have the customary shelf shot holding the camera high to show a bit of cleave as her profile pic? I guess that's a plus.

I aint tryin to be harsh or anything like that but grow up bro. Ur still worried about what some dickheads called a girl in grade school. If u liked her then but were worried about what other people said u missed the first boat. Understandable, kids ban be CRUEL. But you are an adult now. Havent you learned not to give a fuck what other people think. Be happy enjoy the day live life.

I do tend to worry too much about what others think.
I should learn to shut them out.
