Can you ask a girl out 8 years later?

Unless you're willing to set up a profile and add some people, I guess you're in a bit of a sticky situation. Even that's kind of a little bit weird, though not as weird as "accidentally" running into someone you used to know. But you might be out of options. If your friend looked at her Linkedin profile, did he find any sort of details on there, like an email or a mobile number?

Mate, I agree with you. That's why I'm hesistant, but even then I'm not sure how I would run into her.

Social profile seems the best way to break the ice, since you can contact her.. But there are no numbers until you become friends. I'm not really into social media though.

Also there's no guarantee she would respond, and unlike face to face where it's just me meeting her and me talking to make an impression, would I have to set up an entire background on my social profile online?

Sigh, I may have to let this one go. But still, I'm happy that she is doing well in life.

Agreed, but how to find her? She worked at a restaurant according to her social profile, but has since moved on.. all I know is that she lives somewhere in the city!

What would I say to her if I did find her?

Good question, it's hard really unless maybe her linkedn says where she works or address? It's surprising how much you can find out about someone from online!
Well, hopefully conversation would flow naturally, maybe start with how glad you are to see her :smile:

If you met and fell for a girl 8 years ago at an exchange event, got on really well with her, but lost her number... and then by chance find out she works in the same city as you now, would it all right to go and find her and ask her out?

I think you have watched too many chick flicks :mmm:

Can you not find her on Facebook? Or do you not have it?
I don't think you should give up so easily! You'd be surprised what you can find out with one name :colone:

Yeah I've been checking. The linkedin account says she used to work at some restaurant. Now she has changed to a different job, but the new job does not give a location. She has a fb account and she seems to still be in london. I really don't want to do this on fb though, especially since I don't use it myself!

How do I find her and bump into her? Go to the restaurant?

Hahahaha I sense a film too!

I really would love to find her, but all I know is:
1) She used to work at a restaurant in London according to Linkedin
2) She now works at a different company according to Linkedin, but there is no location specified.
3) According to FB and Twitter, she still lives in London and has been attending parties here.
4) She still seems to be as wonderful as ever!

I'm not on any social media, and I'm not sure how to find and bump into her. (If I did bump into her by chance, I would definitely make a film about this!!!)

How do I find her? Go to the restaurant and ask?

I know! I found her on fb, but I'm not on fb! Can see that she lives in London still and parties around in the city, but don't know exactly where she is to go and find her!

Help sir!

A very stalkery wry way might be, if you see an event she's attending on fb go too and 'bump' into her there.
Or look up this other company and try and find out where it is.

Go in to where she works, act surprised when you see her. Get a conversation going (ask how she's doing etc) and then ask if she'd like to hang out or go on a date sometime. Only ask one of the two though, whichever you'd prefer :smile:

Solid advice bro! Will definitely do that... but I'm not sure where she works now as her location isn't listed. I know where she worked before... should I ask for her there?
