Want to contact a girl from my past. Good or bad idea

[The_Reaper]

Summary for brevity:

I went to Finland 4 years ago

Met loads of people there, became friends with a Polish girl who I really liked (Anita)

Couldn't pursue it because I ended up seeing another girl there, one of Anita's friends

I never got Anita's email address or number.

She's on facebook. For some stupid reason I've been thinking about her a lot. She was a cool girl and I hugely enjoyed her company and authentic personality.

I don't want to join facebook. But I want her email or MSN address. Maybe I should create a temporary facebook, get her to add me, and then tell her I'm just came across her facebook and adding some contacts to my email or MSN.

Good or bad idea?
I'd love to hear from her.
The problem is it's been so fckin long... years, she might think it's weird. And I really don't want the ex (Anita's friend) to hear.

I don't see the point of doing it, I mean, if she were so important for you in the first place, you would have done these inmediately.

Getting back in touch with people you've lost contact in a long time, ends up being dull most of the time, and follow up from the initial contact is practically non existent.

You're better of applying this phrase form Green Day's song, Good Riddance:
"So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind, hang it on a shelf in good health and good time"

I hope this helps

Go for it, just say hi. This is different from a No Contact situation, you lost contact and found her again. Good luck.
