Hi, this is my first thread here. I needed some help with this, and this is the only way I know how.
There's a girl I met a couple years ago and recently I've been having feelings for her. We were acquaintances, not really friends, but I'd really like to get back in touch with her.
I'm kind of an outcast, not many people really care that I exist and she actually reached out to me and wanted to be friends.
I've already tried to get in touch with her over Facebook, and she accepted the friend request but didn't reply to the message I sent. It was something along the lines of "hey remember me? How have things been?"
I really feel stuck here and I could really use some other people's input.

Welcome to PC. I have a suggestion. Since she reached out to you and you felt really appreciative of that. I was thinking to make an effort to let her know that you really "appreciated her" in another message on facebook. I don't really know what to do next but you could take it from there.

I kind of just wanted to catch her attention so I could tell her that in person and not through text. I'd like to just start a friendship before doing anything serious too.

Thanks for this!

Sorry, I guess I didn't make it clear enough. My fault. I met her at school a few years ago, and she graduated last year. I never really got her adress or phone # or anything because I didn't feel as much for her then as I do now. What I'm asking is if there's a way to reach her now, or is it too late?

It's never to late to get in touch with an old classmate. You might try another FB message saying "Hey, I'd like to meet with you and catch up on the latest news. Can you send me an email?" Then give her your email allowing her to make the decision to reconnect.

maybe you could repost just 1 more time on facebook, without being too needy. maybe she's just busy now to answer your other one.

If you can reach her through social media, ask her if you can call her to "catch up." Ask for her phone number. All she can do is say no, or just not respond. Then you need to let go.

What made her become so much more interesting lately.

I think I either just miss her or now I'm actually old enough to feel love. (I'm only seventeen by the way, so maybe I have no idea what I'm saying.)
Maybe I'll get the balls to give it another try. Hope it goes well...I could really use someone special right now.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
