    Hi Guys

    I know you will all give me your honest opinion.

    Yesterday I met a guy that I went with about 10 years ago. We literally bumped into eachother said Hi, good to see ya bla bla bla, but I was rushing to work so couldnt stay to chat.

    My question is, should I send him a message on FB saying Hi, was good to see him and how's he been keeping, or should I just leave it. The chances of bumping into him again are slim and we dont have eachothers numbers to text or anything.

    Just looking for opinions cause dont wanna seem like a weirdo.

    Cheers

    Why would you want to continue the conversation? WOuld it be for friendship? Is he a friend of yours on facebook? It all depends on your motive.

    I'd send it. After 10 years ye are probably completely different people.
    Who knows, could be a potential new friendship.
    Worst case scenario, he doesn't reply. How bad?
    Chances are you won't see each other again anyways.

    ps
    I would completely eradicate the thoughts of re-kindling the romance btw.
    If you are looking for a relationship, it will invariable make everything weird.

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for the replies.

    I was only 17 at the time & back then was nothing serious. He moved town and haven't seen him since. It was very odd bumping into him after so long and tbh he was as cute as ever haha and he was like, oh do you remember me i'm xxxx, great to see you.

    We are not friends on FB but it would be the only way to contact him so was gonna send him a "breezy" message :) I really dont know why I want to contact him but something is telling me to and I suppose it would be nice to see how he is.

    Suppose have nothing to loose as I probably wont see him again.

    Feel like a nervous schoolkid....christ lol....

    I wouldn't send, personally, but if you must, send after several days or a week or so, to avoid coming across as keen/desperate/bunny boilerish.

    Well I have sent him a message, nothing to lose.
