Is it creepy to want to do this

20 Comments

I had this girl in one of my classes in 6th grade and sometimes I wonder where she ended up in life. I searched her name on Facebook and found a profile I think belongs to her, and I posted a post on reddit asking how I should go about sending a message asking if its her and how she's been and they said its really creepy. I don't know,do you guys think its creepy to try to hit her up like that?

    It’s NOT creepy at all! There is nothing wrong with trying to contact an old classmate, even if you weren’t friends. People change, they mature, they become less socially awkward. Go ahead and make the contact.

      People on Facebook expect to be found... it's not creepy. Just tell her that her profile popped up in your recommended list and she looked familiar.

        Nah, something like that wouldn't just "pop up". If I lied like that than it would definitely look weird. I'd have to tell the truth and say I was just curious to how the years treated her all this time.

          I think just phrase it the way you've phrased it to raisin. I think it's not creepy, dude

    I think it's odd, you're digging up your childhood, to "re-kindle" something that never WAS.

    At best, it "might" have been a fleeting crush, but you are both adults, different people, different lives, and essentially, would be complete strangers, after all this time.

    I had such a crush, in 3rd grade, with Pamela. She was a dream, tall, long hair, tan, and friendly smile, and best of all, she liked ME. WooHoo !!

    But THAT was IT !! I'll never forget her, but I'll never look her up. I respect her adulthood, privacy, and life.

    I misvoted (I put "no", because the last question was "is it creepy"). I think a lot of people did the same thing, because this isn't creepy at all.

    Send her a friend request and next time she posts a picture or sonething comment on the picture and tell her you hope shes doing well you havent seen her in forever. I wouldnt message her. 6th grade was a long time ago right.

    Kind of odd yeah, unless you were friends back then... Even then i'd be a bit odd depending on how old you guys are now.
    I was very much a loner in high school but for the first half of it I had a couple friends that I slipped away from. I miss them sometimes and regret that I did that but I don't message them even though we're friends on facebook. It just feels weird to me considering we were never very close and only hung out after school like twice so searching someone up and messaging them... Hmm I wouldn't but it's really so hard to say how she'd react. I don't know her. Some people would consider it creepy yeah, others might think it's fun to reconnect. You could always start by just adding her, maybe also send a message saying you recognize her from back then and see if she takes up the convo or even accepts in the first place.

      I wouldn't just add her, that would be kinda weird yes. I'm thinking if I do this at all, it'll be a message saying something like "hey are you so and so from there and then?" And if it happens, it happens.

    Were you guys friends? If so then yes I'd say that's totally ok. It's great to reach out to old friends and see where they're at in life

      I didn't have the means at that time to be friends outside of school but we were as close as could be within that context.

    Just say,"I stumbled over your Facebook and always admired you." POW. The worst that can happen is she says no.

    If you didn't know eachother, then yes, it's creepy. If you knew eachother only a little, I'd still say it's creepy. If you were proper friends, then it's not creepy.

      Well I didn't have the means to really communicate outside of school at that time, but within the context we knew each other in, Yeah I'd say we were friends
