I shared a story in another thread in this forum (Finally Seeing Someone Naked , starts at #134).
With all the information available online I don’t think it’s uncommon for people to wonder about others and to “stalk” them online — just to see where they are and what they may be up to.
For years I thought about Tony and thought about googling him but always decided that I’d just keep the memories I had. However, recently curiosity got the best of me. After a quick few searches I found him. Part of me wants to reach out and send him a note (I’m pretty sure he’d remember me) and part of me says it was so long ago it would be weird. I also question my motivation, i.e., what do I want out of it. At one end of the spectrum we had a good connection and I am curious what he’s up to and at the other end of the spectrum I really want to know what was going on in his head that summer. I realize the latter is a stretch that I may never know but I think I’d be satisfied with the former. I would of course respect his current situation and would only proceed slowly, step by step, if I sensed he was open and receptive to connecting.
I’d like to know if anyone else has reached out to someone from way back, perhaps a similar situation? What happened?
