so i'm sitting around the other day, visiting with a former colleague and best bud -- he was one of my wedding ushers -- and we began the ol' game of "whatever happened to...?"
one name came up of a woman i was friends with who was very attractive. we hung in the same circles at a former shop but never dated because a) we were involved with other people or b) when we weren't i was a bit intimidated by her intelligence and confidence.
anyway, we lost touch as happens. i got married and somewhere along the way she moved on in her career.
out of curiousity, i googled her name today. someone popped up who could be her (about same age, still in area). if it is her, her biz email was listed and i sent her one earlier today inquiring if she is the "joan doe" of my past life.
if it's not her, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. but if it is her, will she think my reaching out is stalker-like or okay? ??? ??? ???
one reason i ask is another former platonic galpal -- who i met working a summer job for three years, then befriended again when she attended my college and yet a third time at my former newpaper in the late '80s -- sent me an, "are you?" email a few weeks ago and we've been emailing ever since. she plans on visiting mrs. shockey and i this summer. it's been swell to reconnect.
what do y'all think of my attempt to reconnect with jane doe? ??? ??? ???
