So here’s the situation: I found someone I went to high school with on Facebook. He graduated two years before me. Honestly, he probably doesn’t even remember me — surprisingly, I was quite the wallflower back then. Anyway, his profile intrigues me. Would it be too creepy to message him on Facebook?
Do you ever do this? What do you even say without coming off as a complete loon — which we all, sadly, know is something I’ve been known to do in the past.
So is there some sort of fill-in-the-blank form letter for these sorts of things?

Hmmm Why don't you use the Poke option? Ya know under his picture it should say Poke him! See if he pokes back if your unsure? If he pokes you back, totally message him. =)

I think you should message him. I would and I do.
LifestyleBohemia says
I would just message him. Facebook is so casual that I don't think he would think it's a big deal. Go for it!

I poked him… 😉
Kristin says
I just FB'd my childhood bestie. Hopefully she won't think I'm a creep. Ah ha
Diana says
The worst thing that would happen is he would not answer. If he says he doesn't remember, no worries! You can make a new friend at least.
Jenny Brown says
You poked him…..good for you! I say you send him a message and tell him who you are and go from there! Diana's right, the worse thing he can do is ignore you. Nothing ventured, Nothing gained!
Good luck!

I would friend him and send a message with it letting him know who you are and why you are friending him. If he is a decent person, he would be flattered that you are intrigued by his profile. I do this all the time with people that I remember…sometimes they just need a comment to jog their memory as to who you are.
Natasha says
I think you should message him. I've done it before and they don't seem to mind.

Gor for it. The worst thing he can do is -not- reply.. In which case it's his loss. Remember – no regrets-.

I have added so many people from elementary and high school and almost never send a message first. I skip all that and go straight to the friend request. Then I look through their page and usually send them a message thanking for accepting the request and seeing how they've been doing over the years. Easy peasy!
Lynnae says
I agree with sending a message along with the friend invite. If you went to the same school you probably have a lot of friends in common too. Hey, it's worth a shot.
S and O says
Is he an old crush or just some guy you knew? cause that would make all the difference…either way I say go for it and message him! I mean he's nice right???
If someone from my past found me I'd be totally interested in seeing who they'd become and what they were like now (especially if it were a cute guy, LOL!)…

Melissa Blake says
and what do you know? his status says in a relationship. LOL! Just my luck! 😉

I think I would message him first, then if a good conversation follows, send a friend request.

If he pokes you back, totally message him. =)
