Do you hear from old friends that you never expected to?

On Friday I looked at my emails and was amazed to see that an ex-boyfriend had left me a message on Face Book. I haven't seen him since 2005 when I moved areas. I was amazed to see where which area he is living in and what job he does now. He was divorced when I knew him and had a son a couple of years younger than my older son. I thought he would have always lived in my old area. Life can be so surprising sometimes. Do you hear from old friends that you never expected to on Face Book? If so do you send them a message back?

Yes, I heard from a couple of old friends on Facebook too. One of them contacts me regularly through the Facebook private messaging service. She moved away from here several years ago and now has a son. She moved to Littlehampton, which is by the seaside on the south coast, and it was great to be in touch again! I tell her all the news from here, which she obviously hasn't heard, and she relates her news back to me. It's great! Brightest Blessings.

yes, I found people on facebook that I haven't seen in decades. some childhood friends i had lost track of and plenty of people I went to school with. Also some relatives That I don't live near, it is great because I get to learn more about them and become close again. I have met quite a few new friends too.

Yes, a few weeks ago an university friend contacted me in MSN. I am surprised to it. But it's very happy to have a contact with old friends. I think it is a surprise for you to see your ex-boyfriend's message. If I were you, I would respond to him because I know both of you are single now. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. It is not bad to keep in touch with each other. I love China

Hi Maxi8! Yes I have heard from some unexpected people on facebook. It started a few weeks ago when an old classmate found me! I have been out of school for like 30 years and hadn't talked to any classmates much since our 10 year reunion! I was shocked to see the freind request! Shortly after that came several other requests from other former classmates. It was interesting to see where they were and what they were doing these days! The most interesting thing was who some of them had married!!! wow!
