March..XXX wants to reconnect!
Last night before my Thursday night television I decided to check my home e-mail. First I need to ask, why do I even have more than one email? Oh yeah so I can get "personal" emails as well as dozens of opportunities to get free Viagra and watch co-ed nude teens. That has to be the reason I have not one, not two, but three e-mail addresses.
So I was deleting at a fast pace when all of a sudden I got a message that read something like this.
MARCH - XXX wants to reconnect with you! The message was from Classmates.com. If you don't know what it is (not sure how you can't) its a place where people from your high school and college and sign up for free to "connect with lost classmates" but to actually send a person an email you have to pay for this "priviledge". There is so many places I can go on classmates, the people I didn't care that much about to begin with and the cost but that has been done over and over.
Why is this message a "shocker"? For one, I am not a paying member. I have my name up there and if someone wants to read my amazing profile of all the exotic lands, people I have bedded and movies I have been in well they can just click away otherwise its just something I signed up for on a whim and rarely go back to.
So this message from XXX was actually from my first serious girlfriend. We dated for about 4 years but it ended (she dumped me) going on 14 or 15 years ago now.
I'll admit I am "curious" to hear what she is up to. I have seen her since, but it was shortly after we broke it off and she had a chance to go to Australia and New Zealand. She left a note in my mailbox saying she was in town and if I wanted to go for a walk and just talk that would be great. So we did. It was nice to see her and hear about her trip. It was something she always wanted to do. When you are in highschool you have all these divine plans and it was nice to hear someone reaching on of their goals.
Fastforward now 13+ years. Do I spend the $15.00 for 3 months to "re-connect"? Do I ignore it and come across as an arrogant ahole. Honestly if it was "free" to respond to her message I would but toss in the fact I need to spend money to do so...ehhh.
Torn..we shall see.

Ask the Mrs. March. As a Mrs. Brando Slim, I would be aggrivated.
My thoughts exactly. I don't know too many wives who would be thrilled to have their husbands reconnecting with a former flame.
Don't take this the wrong way, but are you out of your friggin' mind?!?! Nothing good can come out of this. You hear me? NOTHING! Stay away. From her. Not necessarily from the co-ed nude teens.

Excellent points all around. Like I said you have that curious part that says "I wonder how they are". This girlfriend left me to be with a woman as well.
Whoa...wait just a minute! You forgot to mention that little detail before! I officially change my position. LOTS of good can come from this.

I agree with Dim's first comment...but NOT his second one :)
Yeah, but wondering and spending $15 to reconnect are two different things, when you are married with littlins...
She left you. If she wanted to know how you were, she had many years to find out.
