I found an old classmate of mine<edit> on line about six months ago. He put his cell on there so I figured I'd text him and see how he is. He ignored the text. I checked his public court records and found out he had disorderly conduct charge from several years ago. Based on some of the people on his friends list, it looks like he may have taken the wrong path. I just remember us joking around a lot in school and we worked our first job together. I graduated in 2004 and he was 2005. I would have my days where I felt like being goofy then my days where I didn't wanna talk to anyone. This used to frustrate him.

Anyways, would he not get back to me because he may have taken a wrong life path? This is the only reason I see for him not to respond. He did add me as a friend <edit> but no text response from him. I noticed someone else posted on his wall asking how he is and he didn't respond to them either. Maybe he's just not the best respondent lol. He works in landscaping which isn't the best job in the world as it's not year-round employment usually but it's a paycheck.

Thanks in advance.

Probably because he is not in a good place. Usually that is why people don't respond.

Either that, or he doesn't check his facebook, or bother with it.

Perhaps it's a land line and not a cell. Perhaps he doesn't do texting. Perhaps he got a new number and forgot to change it <edit>on line. Any number of reasons that have nothing to do with you.

Take the hint, he doesn't want to rekindle your 'friendship' and based on your judgmental post, I wouldn't either.

Who wants to be friends with someone who scours court records for info and makes derogatory comments about your job while knowing nothing about your life???

I know people in the landscaping business that are doing quite well for themselves and would disagree with your 'not the best job' comment.

I get so many robocalls that I just dont respond to calls from numbers not totally known. Texts and VMs, if and when i get to them.

There are so many reasons for a non response.

Things change in 10 years, good chance the people you talk to now, you will not talk to in 10 years.

I like to keep life simple. If I have not talked to someone in 10 years and things are working out the way they are, why change it by starting a conversation now.

Life is never as sweet as how it used to be in the past. People change and if you had been close friends you probably would not need<edit> social media to reconnect.

Instead of texting why don't you call and speak to him? Be more personal rather than a random text? I wouldn't respond to a random text but would return a call.

Why are you googling and going through records for a high school acquaintance that you haven't seen in 10 years? Very creepy. I wouldn't talk to you either.
