Bec, I haven't read all the replies, just your original post but I don't see where the dilemma is. Get in touch. If he's not single.. then at least you've got in touch with an old friend again. If you go for it, and it doesn't work out.. what have you lost ? it's not like you've still been in touch. I fyou don't try then you'll always wonder. Go for it - in the words of a song I like a lot... 'take all your chances while you can, you never know when they'll pass you by'. Paul

my 1st love grew up in the same village and both of us still live here (in different houses mind). I still see him from time to time, his mum always says hello to me when I see her down the village. All this is making me feel old now lol. Sarah, xx

Oh Karen What a lovely thing to do... i really thought you were going to say you lived happily ever after... :-( Well this guy M, he probably won't reply. I've texted a friend who is close to M and he said he doesn't want to know but Im hoping a letter with my contact details may give him that push! Fingers crossed Becx

Hi Bec Only just seen your dilemma. So glad to hear your sending the letter :-) When I was at infant school there was a boy in my class, Michael, who was my 'kinda' boyfriend (I was only about 7!) and I remember us passing notes back and forth between the two of us and I remember us promising to have at least 2 children. Anyway, 13 years ago I bumped into Michael again, he was working with my best mate so quite often I would pop into her workplace and if she wasnt about I would sit chatting to him, anyway he asked me out, but I turned him down as I had just started seeing someone. 8 years later I broke up with the bloke that I turned Michael down for after I found out he was a cheating on me, and all I could think of was 'what if I hadnt turned Michael down', anyway 3 months later I plucked up the corruge to do something about it, I worked in a Building Society at the time and Michael's parents had an account with us, so I wrote a letter to his parents advising them of a new savings account that they might be interested in and at the end I put 'PS, say Hi to Michael for me, we used to go to school together and it would be great to catch up sometime', I made sure that I signed the letter Miss, just so he knew I wasnt married :-) Anyway, I never heard from him, but at least I tried, I still think 'what if' but hay! nothing ventured, nothing gained! :-) Sorry for the rambings, good luck and keep us informed Karen x

Write to him. If you don't, you'll always wondering what might have happened if you had. What's the worst that can happen. He doesn't reply. So, at least you tried. Nothing venture, nothing gained. Go for it Baby Bec Wendy xXx
