A guy I went to high school with randomly messaged me on Facebook the other day. Since then we've talked and caught up on what's happened in the 4 years since graduation, when we last saw each other. Other than likes or a few comments on each other's posts (through the years he has occasionally "stalked" old profile pictures of mine and liked them) we haven't really interacted until a few days ago. I just find it a little odd because we were never what you would call friends back in school. In fact, we really didn't get along and pretty much stayed out of each other's way or were cordial due to having a few of the same friends. Because of this, I'm a little confused as to why he is making an effort to get to know me. He even came in to see me for a haircut where I work at a salon. Why would he seem to make an effort to befriend me now after all this time? I'm a little apprehensive. No red flags have gone up yet and he's always been totally normal, but due to past experiences with former classmates and, I'm afraid he'll end up getting creepy and inappropriate after awhile!

I've discovered people from HS (gosh... 20+ years ago) on facebook and reconnected with them; men and women. People just reconnect for old times sake. Nothing innately wrong with wanting to.

You said that you had past experiences with former classmates.... sorry to hear that ... don't hold it against this person.

More than likely, he has some romantic interest in you. The fact that he came buy your salon suggests this.

Either he's attempting to reconnect with old high school classmates or he wants some action.

Nothing to really think about...let alone make a thread about it.

People do that on my page all the time.

It happens all the time.

I have people I did not even socialize with try to add me just becuase we happened to go to the same school.

I don't add anyone I do not know personally, they are strangers to me. Why would I add people I do not know to a space they can have access to everything and everyone I actually care about?

I was amazed that after I got on FB so many guys who wouldn't even speak to me in HS were contacting me. I was flattered at first by the compliments and some even wanted to see me. (A couple were even married so that was not flattering). This is decades after we graduated. It showed me that some people change and some don't.

I no longer have FB and don't miss it.
