CloudyHead Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 I went out with this guy a few times when I was a junior in high school. We went to different high schools. No communication after high school until about four years ago when we became friends on Facebook. I honestly could not remember his name. We randomly exchanged messages on Facebook over the past four years. It has been almost a year since our last message (he offered condolences when my mom passed away). He reached out to me yesterday and asked to take me out on Sunday. We live 1.5 hours apart and he's driving to my town. What the heck?! I'm looking forward to seeing him and catching up but I'm nervous at the same time. 3
Piddy Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) I like these type stories. Are you both single, divorced, kids etc.? The closest I came to this type thing was when I was 14 and this summer girl who was 13. We dated that summer and the next. She was from Illinois and babysat for her older cousin who lived next door to us In MA. Lost contact until 7 years later and she came back out and we tried to rekindle. She lived at my parents house with me for several months. But sadly we could not rekindle what we had years earlier. But I'm glad we had the chance. Wow 35 years, that's pretty good IMO. I've read stories where these type things have very good endings with the two people getting back together and it working out. Whatever happens it'll be fun to see each other after all this time. Good Luck......... Edited March 5, 2020 by Piddy
d0nnivain Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 You have shared history. Even if there is no love connection, you will have an enjoyable day walking down memory lane together. 4

Like Donnivain said, "even if there is no love connection, you will have an enjoyable day." I am a romantic and I still like to believe that it still exists. I am happy for you Cloudy. Please let us know how it goes 1
Author CloudyHead Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 He's divorced. I'm divorced. His kids are 21 and on their own. My daughter will attend college in the fall and my son is in high school. It will be nice to take a stroll down memory lane. 4
simpycurious Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 I hope you have a great time. Sometimes those walks down memory lane lead to special times just around the bend. 1
Backinthesaddleagain Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 This is awesome! Good luck with the meetup! Looking forward to hearing how it went. 1
Miss Spider Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 That’s totally awesome. Know lots of happy couples that are friends of my parents who dated in school and reconnected 2

Well, more than a few since they are all couples....a few couples :). 1 1

Author CloudyHead Posted March 9, 2020 Author Posted March 9, 2020 Meeting old BF went well! I am completely shocked at how well it went. He had never been to the town in which I live so I took him on a tour and we walked the waterfront and pier. We went to a local tavern. Date lasted 5 hours. He remembered alot from us dating in high school - unfortunately I don't remember as much (it was 35 years ago!). We discussed meeting again. Him reaching out to me and meeting me has come out of left field. 7

MrsB Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 This happened to me, too. Met up with my HS crush at our reunion. We have been together nearly a year. We are a little LDR too, around 100 miles apart. But we make it work with weekly visits and overnights. It’s amazing and I hope things work out like this for you, too! The shared connection and history is amazing to have. Good luck! 1

A good fairy tale ending is never out of style regardless of the date a calendar.

Fletch Lives Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 So you dated him, then keep in touch for a few years. Nothing serious. Nothing happened then so probably nothing will happen now. You get one chance per person.
