> 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 al l creepy.

Yep. One of my best friends from 25 years ago and I lost touch. We didn’t talk for about 12 years. Because of work and circumstance we found each other again. It’s wild how how our lives have led a parallel track.

We have been best friends again for about 3 years. We don’t live that close to each other, but our work is only about 50 miles away. We get together after work about once a month for a beer.

Neither of us are on Facebook. It does just happen sometimes. I’m glad for that.

I found my high school girlfriend on [classmates.com](http://classmates.com) (before the days of Facebook). We had had no contact whatsoever for over 30 years. E-mailed her to see how she was doing. We’ve been married for over 12 years now. Not creepy at all; one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Pretty sure the OP is talking about bringing up the adventures in the games closet when he contacts this girl.

Yes, it’s creepy.
