& still wish also to get together with their teenage crushes?

That could depend upon age and life circumstances. Sometimes you move on only to realize that the best of times were in your teens, your best, closest friends were the ones you had then, and the crushes you had were sweet, innocent, and fun (sometimes). Sometimes when a person starts to look back, they are disappointed or disillusioned with their present, so they look back to find what they are missing now. Many times those other people have moved on...and are not available. Or, they have changed and things just aren't and may never be, the same. Hope this helps...

1) They're not totally happy with their current situation and want to relive "the good old days".
2) They're successful and want to show off their success to those who may have treated them poorly in school, prooving to one and all that they have made it after all.
3) They're unhappy and want to find out if there are any other "losers" they can identify with or get sympathy from.
4) They have an underlying fantasy that their teenage crush is just as hot/turned out terrible since they didn't hook up after all.
5) They're curious about how the lives of others have turned out, perhaps to compare them to their own lives or find out if what they "predicted" came true.
The reasons swing back and forth as much as a pendulum so there's no accurate, 100% certain way to find out short of openly questioning the person him/herself, and even that doesn't guarantee you'll get an honest answer...

Curiosity, and a sense of unfufillment in the present. If you dont have anything that great going on right now you may retreat into the past and try to look for times where things were a bit more as you'd like them to be now.

i think of it extremely in basic terms relies upon on the adulthood point that's why there are so plenty extra women who date older men than vice versa because of the fact women mature swifter. yet you're precise at present there has been countless that. precise now, my brother who's 19 is relationship a 21 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old woman and before that he replaced into relationship somebody who in basic terms became 17 ((my pal)). Then i'm 17 and relationship a 21 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old...all of it extremely in basic terms relies upon i assume on the folk.

I would like to contact all my teenage friends so that we can share life experiences. The good and the bad.

I contacted the girl I dated all through high school, and after a 14 year seperation, we rekindled our relationship, got married, and had a beautiful son, all within 2 years.

homing instinct? The same way salmon return to their spawning ground to breed?
But it's probably just nostalgia. I often wonder what happened to those first crushes - we had so many connections as youths and then we just grew apart.
A subconcious desire to return to one's youth? A battle against accepting you have aged?
God, none of that made sense but you get the idea!

If they were true friends then you should try to contact them. I just found a friend of mine from high school and we talk every day. All thanks to Myspace. As for teenage crushes it is just to see how they turned out. Just to see what you missed.

Maybe their lives haven't turned out how they'd liked or planned and they may yearn for what might have been with friends or old flames.
I would hate to meet up with all my old school friends and old flames. Ugh, school was the worst time of my life. I am glad to be free of it!!

Simple, speaking from personal experience - fear of death.
You hear about friends dieing and realise that if you don't contact old friends from your teens it will forever be to late :-(
