good idea or not? i saw the home address of a girlfriend of mine from 18 years ago. i'm kind of tempted to contact her to see how she is getting along after all this time and years gone by.
but i guess it could be constured in the wrong way & i'm not even sure if it is a good idea ???
what to do??

She'd probably be shocked that you called her, maybe even flattered. She'll take it the wrong way, that you're still into her though.

If either of you are in a committed relationship itis not such a good idea. The past is past. You can never go back and while you tell yourself you are curious to knowhow she is getting on is this the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I think probably best left alone.........if you had not seen teh address would you have bothered. However if you are free and she is free....no hurtor harm I suppose. Your choice at the end of teh day.

Yes, do it.....I was contacted by an old boyfriend from high school and we email and keep in contact. It is interesting to see what they are up to. It's not stalkerish or anything - at least I don't thinks so and neither did he. I have also found some old friends and emailed them too. My Mom is 62 and her high school boyfriend looked her up and they are both married but chat on the computer and keep in touch - she loves it. That is great benefit of the internet....

We can't prevent our past's nor should we give ourselves the wrong idea about trying to see how someone in our past is doing.
I've tried connecting with ones from my past, but I'm taking it as: I wasn't ever really their friend then, so they sure as hell aren't interested now.
BUT I'm sure it can be very different for others.

If she was a down to earth person when you dated her, and not into drama and thinking the world was against her, then do it. But if she was a drama queen, she might accuse you of stalking her! So be careful. You might think about writing a letter and leaving your number so she can contact you, and leaving it at that.

not always a good idea, especially if she felt a lot for you and is now in a good relationship, if she isnt and you can find that out first then fine, if you are free also. if its just curiosity on your part leave well enough alone.

Are you in a relationship now? Then don't do it. Single, at the moment and she's single? Why not! If she's married or in a relationship, not just dating, then stay away.
That's what high school reunions are for.

I would like to know how people from my past are doing. That does not necessarily mean I wish to connect with them. Looking at your other questions, if I were she, the meeting would be very short.
