    Did you ever try and reconnect with them? How did it go?

    Well, this was a bad experience for me. There was someone that I was friends with about a year ago. It's been about a year (I lost track) since we've last spoken to each other. I kind of had a crush on him, but I learned that the feeling wasn't mutual. Despite that, we remained cool. I even hooked him up with another one of my friends, and they hit it off. They don't date anymore, though.

    Anyway, I discovered his Facebook page through that exact mutual friend that I hooked him up with, so I though it would be nice to write him a message. He never responded. I later find out that he blocked me because I have a phony Facebook page that I made for a homosexual friend so they can see if the guy they like swings the same way they do. I found that out because I didn't see him on our mutual friend's friend list anymore. At first, I thought he deleted him since our mutual friend said that it's also been awhile since they've last talked. When I looked through our mutual friend's friend list, his page was right under mine!

    Well... that's my story. Care to share yours? Hopefully yours is more positive than mine.
     
    Woah, a non-legal/political thread from FreakyLocz! XD

    I've lost contact with one close friend who used to live across the street from me. He was like my best friend for ages, but we moved house from the city to where I live now, it takes an hour and fifteen to reach him and over the years the visits became less frequent (mainly because my parents were going "we're not inviting them up because they've been up here more times then we've been to their's" which was completely stupid. I haven't seen him for like two years or something now, and that last time we met it wasn't like it used to be, probably because we'd been apart for too long. That's the only notable person that comes to mind.
     
    Yes. I had a friend, who became my best friend. We met when we were both considered smart ... so about year two. He then moved schools, but we still met up every holidays. But now, with the transition into high school, we've lost touch.

    It's mainly my fault, because one time he slept over I accidentally didn't give him enough sheets. My bad. But I hope to contact him again, so we can continue our friendship.
     
    Yeah, there are some people I used to be very close with that I haven't spoken to in 10+ years. Things change. I've reconnected with a few successfully, or vice versa; for others, discovered they or I didn't like how the other turned out, so the friendship wasn't worth pursuing.
     
    Yeah, there were these two guys in Elementary School, One was blind in one eye. We used to be best friends, but the two didn't like each other that much. They didn't end up going to the same middle school after Elementary, so I haven't seen them in forever. There was also this other dude that used to live in my neighborhood and ride my bus in Elementary school, but he moved. Then, I had 2 best friends in 3rd grade. One was named Kayla and Alicia. Kayla had to move and we later saw each other at some party, but haven't seen each other since. I had lost her number, and I still remember the long talks we had on the phone. Alicia, however, has been my friend for years now, and I just talked to her yesterday actually, even though she moved in 5th grade to a place called Harrison which is 45 minutes away from where I live. So from 3rd to 10th grade, we've been best friends. She had showed me at a young age what a true friend is.
     
    Yup, quite a few times to be exact. Most of them said that I had changed, that I was no longer 'me'. So I asked them what do you mean, and all that kind of stuff, and then that lead to arguments and finally we were just tired of one another so we stopped talking and such. Most of them moved away in the last couple of years, but one of them was in my class this year and he ended up trying to talk to me. Needless to say my attitude toward him wasn't the best, due to many things happening at the time, and we got into a fight, with him saying I was one of his closest friends, and with me saying that our friendship meant nothing to me. Then we once again stopped talking to each other, but he tried contacting me on Facebook, but I just ignored him. Might respond, idk yet. I know what I did was rude, but it wasn't uncalled for. Most of the people who used to be my friends left me when I needed them the most, so tbh, I don't want or need them around anymore.
     
    More often than I'd like to admit. My mom was in the Air Force when I was growing up, so we moved pretty often. I'd make a few friends, but as soon as I'd move, I'd lose touch with them. I do this every. single. move. Even in this day and age where practically everyone is on Facebook, I don't remember to log on and say hi to people I haven't seen in years. :/ So yeah, I rarely re-connect with people, either.
     
    Well in a few years ago one of my best friends moved but we stayed on facebook so we can talk. He came back this year but I was kinda a jerk to him because he changed. Then he moved back to Kansas after the last day of school. ;-; And I have him added on xbox so that's good. We still talk.
     
    Yeah, I had a really good friend and we just meet back up at a bball camp.
     
    I had a very close friend which had to move up to Cambridgeshire because her father injured himself. I haven't seen her since, but I do have her phone number and call her when I can.
     
    I've moved 15 times in my life, yeah I've lost a lot of close friends. The other day I tried to get in touch with one from when I was younger, but I didn't know her last name so I asked my mom. We found her dad online and emailed him with a link to my facebook. He said he'd tell his daughter and how excited he was. I never got a friend request so I assume she wasn't interested.;_;
     
    Of course..I think everybody has.

    I had a really good friend from middle school up until we separated for college. She stayed home to go to the community college and I moved 3 hours from home to go to a University. She started being really shady after graduation and I had no idea why. So 2 years later we still aren't as close...when we see each other at parties we give each other the "oh I know you so I'm forced to smile" smile and go about our night...It sucks because we were such good girl friends, but now she's a **** and sleeps with everyone's boyfriend (including my ex of 6 years :( )
     
    My best friend went to a boarding school and I haven't seen her since last summer. We almost lost contact. I kept bugging her to talk to me..
     
    A friend from high school. We used to talk so much and we had so many things in common (even similar pasts) that we called ourselves twins. A few months after I saw her at a mutual friend's party, we didn't talk to much. Then I check out my Myspace friend list (yeah, this was a long time ago), I found out she removed me. I was saddened and I'll never really understand what happened. Last I've heard through a friend, her health wasn't doing too well... :(
     
    I had some friends during my elementary school days, but I lost touch with them when I moved to another school. I managed to reconnect with one of them, who happened to go to the same school as I do now.
     
    I moved 4 times when I was a kid, each time practically across the country. Each time I'd sort of keep contact, writing letters and occasionally phoning my old friends, but that would break off pretty quickly and I'd both forget about the friends and be too busy to get in touch with them. My last big move, from Nova Scotia to Ontario, though, was after I discovered the internet and I kept in touch with my closest friends that way. I still have some of them on Livejournal (and later Facebook) so I'm grateful for that.

    The only friend I think about trying to get in touch with is my best friend Claire from when I was around 5 or 6. I moved away and we stayed in touch for a year or two but slipped apart. I search her on Facebook every so often, and last I checked she had a profile, but I'm scared to friend her and get back in contact only to learn we grew up so differently that we have nothing in common anymore. So I haven't. (I'd feel dumb doing it anyway since I don't even use FB much.)
     
    My best friends from high school. We made the whole "we'll stay in touch in college! we'll still hang out!" attempt, but here I am two years after high school graduation and I haven't spoken a word to them since aside from "happy birthday" messages on facebook.

    It's not a bad thing really, it's not like we had a huge fight, we just happened to all go down vastly different paths for college and made new friends/work/moved so we all kinda drifted.
     
    I have and what I do is move on because there are millions of other people that I can befriend
