I'd just ignore them. i chose to lose contactwith people from school/college long ago; i just don't care about them, and have no reason at all to do so. they're not family, so why should i care?
Wow samston, few months back you said you were in college, remember?
Why should I be surprised, they called you a troll too, maybe its time to
get your stories straight.
Why is this a big deal? I've been on Facebook since March, and I'm amazed at the number of people who have contacted me in that manner. Personally, I think it's cool that they're interested enough to go through the trouble. Call me a glass-half-full kind of guy, rather than somebody just dying to criticize others.

So it's cool if you spend an hour 'catching up' and then you never hear from someone EVER again? They ignore your emails/calls and that's fine?
It's 'not a big deal' (believe me, there are far more stupid threads here!). I just was wondering if a lot of people experience this 'hey how you doing/that's nice/so long contact.

Ah, I see... It's more of a "you're feeling jilted" thing.
I've mentioned before, one of my ex-girlfriends invited me to watch her kids walking the high wire at a fair in my town. I don't know if she meant to invite me specifically, or if I just happened to be in her address book (I don't get spam from her on a regular basis...). I went, we saw each other, neither of us said much to the other. I left my phone numbers with her, to "update" my info, but she never called. She didn't even send me an email to say she didn't need my numbers. Haven't heard from her since, and don't expect to.
But, you know, if one of those kids graduates from school or something, I'll probably get an announcement to that effect, just like others in her address book.

I think it's a fine thread.
As to what drives people's behavior, at times I haven't a clue. Some people are just competitive by nature. Some people are creepy by nature. Maybe the next time around you might want to just say "Things are going great, but I'm busy. Let's do lunch sometime." If you hear from them again and you feel like it have lunch. If not, at least you won't feel as you have when this happens.
I don't know. I do that some I guess. I don't do it to "judge" anyone, but am curious to see where everyone is now. With some people, once I find out where that are in life and such, there really isn't much else to talk about... No harm no foul. I don't take offense, nor do they I hope.
+1. When I joined facebook and ran into a dozen or so people from the old neighborhood, I was very curious and chatted up a bit with everyone. Now, I visit the site once every week or two to see what's up with family. I have little interest in keeping contact with friends from back in the day, but I'll usually comply if someone wants to talk. I need to set up a privacy thing so I don't get IM'd while on the site. That happens too often and I don't like IM.
I'd like to know how a few people are doing (both male and female people I know) but I have no desire to hang out with them or talk on a regular basis. Natural curiosity about people you have known seems to me a normal thing.
