Hi,
An friendly acquaintance of mine is moving out of state soon with her husband. About a week ago, she told me the news. We live in the same building, it's a condo.
She thinks of me as a really nice person so I asked if we could be friends onFacebook and she said that she kind of keeps a low profile on Facebook, but sure We didn't have our phones with us at the time so couldn't make the Facebook friend request then.
I don't have her phone number.
I looked up her Facebook profile and tried to do a friend request but her setting is not accepting friends. So, I sent a FB messenger request but was thinking, that it might just sit in her spam folder (FB does things that way).
So, I ended up doing a public search and wrote and sent a snail mail letter. But her address in unlisted. The letter was a very polite letter, saying I wasn't sure how to contact her, so did snail mail. Then mentioned about not able to add her as friend on FB and I have my profile for her to choose to add me. Then I wished her well in her move. I figured a snail letter won't put her on the spot. Unlike if I had my phone in front of her with Facebook open. That way if she really didn't want to be Facebook friends she could ignore without pressure.
As of today, I haven't seen any activity and no reply to my letter (she should have received by now).
I'm afraid by me sending the letter, she might be ticked off that I did a search to locate her unit. But I may be making a big thing out of nothing as it might just be that she doesn't use Facebook much (I can see that she hasn't been on Facebook and it's been a week).
But my mind, thinks of things like maybe now I'm not longer considered a really sweet guy but a creep for sending the letter.I really don't know as maybe she could also be flattered that I wrote a goodbye letter.
I guess my question for folks here is if you were in her situation, how would you feel getting a letter like the one I sent? Would it feel like an intrusion? Or would you be happy you got one goodbye letter from a person you considered really sweet? Or something in between?
Thanks.
