This girl I played Lacrosse with-back in '04 and who graduated 2 years a head of me, just invited me to her Birthday party. We were acquatiances and when we see each other we do talk-just about whats going on etc. I've never hung out with her, and at one point I thought she didn't like me. It's been 2 years plus, since I last spoke to her and she invited me to her Birthday-so I go?..There will be 2 people there that I graduated with, one of whom I was friends with, and am more of an aqutiance with now. I am just not sure why she invited me though-your thoughts on what you think I should do or how you handled a similar incident would be great! Thanks.

I am skeptical as are you. Two thoughts come to my mind. The first is that she thinks that you will bring a really nice gift. The second is that she wants some thing that you have. It might be that you know someone that can help her or are friends with someone that she wants to know better. Many years ago a man who is now no longer with us told me that you have friends because of, and that you have friends in spite of. This sounds like a friend that is because of, don't go and if you do watch your back.

I knew a girl whom I hadn't seen in like 6 years and hadn't talked to in about a year out of the blue ask me if I'd be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I told her I didn't feel comfortable doing it since we don't really hang out and it's her special day. I did tell her that I'd like to attend the wedding, though. If it's her birthday, I say take her up on it and go. She may want something from you, but then again, she may just be lonely and want to have someone she knows (even if just a little) at her birthday party. Who knows? You may end up becoming friends.

she probably just called everyone in her phonebook. i don't think it's a big deal at all. I mean it's just for a couple of hours.
should you go?
If you're not doing anything more important that day, by all means do. Come your birthday, you can invite her too.

Seems odd to me as well. Three years is a chunk of time. I would think that she might have called you to say hello during that time.
Personally, I would skip it. Get together for a coffee or something casual if you want to persue (and her) contact.

Maybe she thought you would like to meet you old chums. Don't go if you don't want to. You have a choice.

Perhaps she's interested in rekindling a friendship with you, and this is her way of reaching out to you.
