For the last couple days, I've had this urge to call an old friend and try being friends again with her.
We started being friends in Kindergarten and managed to stay friends until the 9th grade. Then some stuff happened with her mom and we started hanging out in different groups. The last time I saw her was a couple months after we graduated from high school.
It's weird all these years later and I still remember what her phone number is. Well, what her parent's phone number is anyway. I also still remember that June 4th is her birthday.
What harm could it do to call her parents and ask about her? I guess it's just my fear of trying and getting rejected that scares me.
I also have a friend whom I haven't talked to since her wedding in November of 2006. I'm sure by now she won't so wrapped up in her man to want to actually a relationship outside of him but again I'm worried about rejection. Plus I didn't have as many leads with her. | |

I'm an older fellow and can tell you that I'm always thrilled when an old friend takes the time to get in touch with me. I encourage you to make the first move and call. I think if you let your friends know you are truly concerned about them and would enjoy seeing them again, their response will be possitive.
I just had lunch with my best friend from high school, last week. We don't get to see each other very often but it is like we have always been best friends when we get together.
Remember this about fearing rejection. If you are ever rejected, so what. At that point we know the score and can move on. The fear of rejection (that most likely won't ever happen) can mess with your mind for months or years, worse than the rejection could ever be.
So take it from an old guy and never be afraid to call an old friend, no matter how much time has passed. You will be "SO" glad you did. |
