max3732 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 There's a guy that I wasn't the best friends with, but had done a few activities together. He and his wife was only in my area for a short time and moved around a bit, but his wife posts constantly on social media and I saw they're back in my area. It's been a few years and I don't know if I should reach out to them and if I do how to do it. Is it weird if I say to the guy that I saw your wife's post on social media or if I contact her directly and ask if she and her husband would like to get together? I feel a bit uncomfortable talking to her since she's really pretty. Besides genuinely getting together with him/them part of me also hopes maybe they'd know a single woman they could introduce me to so I wouldn't have to rely on online so much. With the pandemic I really haven't gone out at all and my only friends in town are ones from a sports league. Link to post Share on other sites
glows Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 You can reach out in friendship but people will notice that you have ulterior motives. Why not join meet up groups and interest groups local to your area? Link to post Share on other sites

What do you mean by meet up and interest groups in my area? Link to post Share on other sites
Foxhall Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Yes why not? someone has to take the initiative, no harm to show a social side and break the ice as it were, be confident, you are good company and it will get them out of the house also. Link to post Share on other sites

Any subtext about women they may know, should come later, if at all. For now just enjoy seeing old friends again. Link to post Share on other sites
Syd8 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I was best friend with someone for almost 20 years. He moved away and came back for a visit last year and didn't even tell me. I told him to go to hell. No excuse for not contacting me. I guess we were never really friends. Link to post Share on other sites
