…is this? I found an old girlfriend on FB. By old I mean 4th grade. By 4th grade I mean she introduced me to the female anatomy after hiding in the games closet, driving the Principal into a frenzy. By creepy I mean referring to the interaction(s) on FB. No poll here. ---

Are you asking her for nude photos? From the time period in question? Not creepy to find old classmates on Facebook. ---

We were all creepy little shits when we were younger. Most of us outgrew it. ---

Just to be clear, I was in the 4th grade at the time, and she is in the 44th now too ---

What’s the creepy part? That in fourth grade you were both playing doctor? That she’s on Facebook? That you found her? Some conversation about the incident in the games closet? Need more info. ---

As long as nobody is posting references to fourth grade female anatomy on the internet, I don’t think it’s creepy. Wait… ---

> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > We haven’t had contact for… 30 years (or so). I could see it seeming a little creepy. I’m not seeing the creepy in getting back in touch after any particular length of time. I moved between 9th and 10th grades and lost touch with most of my childhood friends. Through FB, several of us are back in touch after not-quite 30 yrs. I think it’s so cool and not at all creepy. ---

I think it’s OK to have contact with her. I don’t think I’d be the one to bring up what you guys did back in the 4th grade. Especially since you haven’t mentioned either of your current dating/marital statuses. THAT could be considered creepy. Then again, I don’t recall playing doctor in 4th grade, so maybe that’s my jealousy speaking. ---

Was that your only contact with her back then? We’re you classmates? Friends? ---

> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > I remember your little overalls… Dude, why can’t you just reach out and say hi? IF you start talking, and IF she wants to discuss 4th grade shenanigans, you’ll get a clear sense - and THEN you can consider bringing up The Closet of Discovery… ---

What’s creepy about stumbling across someone from 30 yrs ago on Facebook? The OP didn’t say that either brought up the games closet incident, only that he’d found her. Did she bring it up? Is he thinking of bringing it up?(Because THAT would be creepy!) Still not seeing any creepy in what the OP described. ---

the OP is mildly creepy…should you wish to make it totally creepy, report back to us you brought up with her the 4th grade closet meeting. Why on earth would you consider that a viable option? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-creepy/674580.md?page=2)
