Ok so i recently signed up for myspace and have been going through old yearbooks and i ran into this girl i knew in junior high (im 18/m now) so i sent her a message saying she probably doesnt remember me but i went to school with her and just wanted to say whats up. she responded saying she doesnt remember me and im at a loss for how to respond. i was thinking of saying soemthing like "ok well i cant say im not disappointed but i didnt really expect you to remember me, if you ever wana talk about how much the school sucked or anything like that feel free to message me" but i was wondering if soemthing else maybe better. should i try to job her memory? should i reply with "oh well no big deal" or is there a even better response i have yet to think off? responses asap would be best. oh and not saying that romance is the last thing on my mind in this situation but it really isnt the reason, we were fairly good friends back then and i just wanted to get back in touch with her. thanks all for your help.
chaos answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 9:41 am: This gets worse as you get older. There are at least a dozen people that have come up to me and say "Didn't you go to Minor (our high school)" and I cannot remember them to save my life. It's embarrassing.
Maybe there was some hobby or club you were a part of. Or something specfic you liked to wear in high school. Or something stupid you did. Try bringing those up. If it doesn't work, don't feel too bad. Maybe you can become friends anyway if you share some common likes/dislikes. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

CoUnTrYgUrL77 answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 10:04 pm: Maybe you should respond to "do you want to remember" or something like that, that way you arent annoying her and if she really wants to know, then proceed on from there. If she says no, then dont push it...maybe she will come around... [ CoUnTrYgUrL77's advice column | Ask CoUnTrYgUrL77 A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 7:25 pm: I think you should try and get her to remember you. It was a while ago, so no wonder she doesn't remember. Say something about a teacher, a class, or just something you guys did together. Hopefully she'll remember. Send me something if you need anything else.

XoUkrainianBabeXo answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 6:49 pm: I love my space it's my addiction..haha anyway...Maybe get a picture of what you use to look like so she can remember you by that. Or say something that was maybe an inside joke or "Yea i didn't think you would. My name is (Name) and i was your friend in (grade #) we both had (teacher) and i remember how you use to always (what ever she always did or something she was known for) Maybe we can talk if you don't feel this is to weird" you can follow that with a sn or something and tell her to get back to you. add her as a friend or just use one of the ones you were going to go with.

i know it wasnt a big help but that was my best shot, sry
xoxsweetashley91 answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 6:36 pm: why dont you say like "oh yeah, i was the kid who....." then put in something funny you were known for. or just say that you used to be good friends and you would be interested in rekindling the relationship. that should break the ice. PLEASE RATE! HOPE I HELPED! [ xoxsweetashley91's advice column | Ask xoxsweetashley91 A Question ]
