RandallHare Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I got a crush on her back in grade school that I still know her name up to now. I searched her up and surprised that she's active on Instagram! But when I saw her pics, her hair has stayed the same all these years! I could not believe it! I want to send her a message but I have no idea what to say! Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 I think it's creepy to slide into the DMs of someone who you didn't know the name of up until now. Because she's going to have no idea who you are Link to post Share on other sites
Author RandallHare Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 I know her name from way way back because I had a huge crush on her. Out of curiosity, I googled her name and voila, she's on Instagram Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you were friendly at school, it's still weird to slide into her DM's. Only do so if she's going to immediately recognise you and respond with "Randall, I remember you!"

Author RandallHare Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 Yes, I understand... that's why I posted this thread coz maybe someone can give me an idea on how to talk to her casually. I want to be her friend @_@ Link to post Share on other sites
Author RandallHare Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 How about this... Me: Hey... Did you go to St. Mary's Academy? Her: Yeah... why? Me: We competed at a schools' press conference back in the day. That's how I got your name. But one year after, you transferred to another city so I didn't see you again. I still know your name though. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I googled your name. It turns out, you're active on Instagram... I don't know how to talk to you but I wish I could make a connection somehow. I find your posts interesting and engrossing. I like reading your posts. You write well.

But don't be surprised if there's no response or you see yourself blocked Link to post Share on other sites

She likes surfing and writing... I like her face... she reminds me of my mum. She's intelligent too. Graduated magna cum laude from a prestigious university. If I can be friends with her, I can read her posts and maybe other writings as well. She stimulates my mind and I like it. Link to post Share on other sites
Leihla_B Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 If you were in her graduating class, sign up for classmates.com or some other kind of reunion group. Then you can see if she's listed there. If not, you can re-introduce yourself and invite her to sign up. That can open a conversation, and if she responds, you can mention the school from which you remember her and see if she recalls who you are. Link to post Share on other sites

Simply remind her how you two knew each other. Ask her how she is. Leave it at that for now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
