What would you do in my situation?

Question

I am registered on a website, where I found a lot of my childhood friends and elementary school classmates. Recently, I found a profile of a father of three of my childhood friends. Including a girl, his daughter, who had a crush on me. Everybody said that we were like supposed to be together, but it's past. That family moved to Israel 10 years ago. On their dad's profile, I found their pictures and I easily recognized them.

What should I do? They don't have a profiles of that website. Only their dad does. I don't even know their dad. I mean, we we all neighbors, but I barely saw him. It would be kind of cool to at least talk to those guys again, but I can't just ask their dad questions about his kids. What if he would not want to reply.

Answer 1

This is an easy one.  Just say basically what you've said in your post.  Put in something personal, like the school you all went to, the street you lived on, etc.  That way he will know that you did know the kids.  Ask the dad to forward your e-mail address to your friends.  If he doesn't reply, you haven't lost anything, right?

Answer 2

You need to introduce yourself politely and say, maybe you

don't remember me, but your children and i knew each other,

if they would like to contact me ,  then give your info.

You can only do so much , if they wish to contact you back

they will.

Answer 3

I would send him a message, tell him your name and such and let him know you were his neighbor and friends with his kids and just want to see how they are doing and such.  I ask for an email address of them each.  I dont think he would have a problem giving it to you.  I am sure he will ask his kids first.  If he doesnt respond than atleast you know you tried. Good Luck

Answer 4

Then simply ask the dad to ask you friend if she remembers you from school. And give him your email address.

Answer 5

are you talking about facebook? add the father as a friend and if he accepts, just send him a simple message and ask fr his son's email adress as your friends from way back, theres nothing wrong in trying
