Can you ask a girl out 8 years later?

LEGENDARY!

Also real life is what matters... having a million friends on facebook doesn't seem the same as having even just one or two or a few real friends like in Friends or HIMYM.

Does anyone not realise that post 11 was the thread starter and he continued replying to people's post as someone else

but you realise those shows were largely before FB was this popular. even though FB was popular when HIMYM started, it wasnt as much as it is now, where people can be on it on their phones 24/7.

omg

tell more....

did you get a RO?

Cool. But would she be responsive or friendly if my entire profile was just all private?
What should I say n the friend request? Sorry I am a newbie!

I see your point. What we need is a new sitcom that displays romantic interactions on Facebook.

What's your advice then bro?

SUIT UP!

To this day I still don't know how he knew where I lived, most people don't know my address.

I had a terrifying moment when I left the house one day and a guy I'd went to school with (who was known for his anger issues and I'd politely turned him down several times) was stood directly across the road. Luckily he was looking the other way when I left the house so I hurried to the car and he never saw me.
I was really quite shaken but then I realised he had a job going door to door and it was pure coincidence that I'd left the house at the moment he was there!

Sorry, that was a bit of a random story but your story reminded me of it!

this is just

but I can imagine how scared you must have been

Agreed! Your first post made me think himym as well but I didn't mention it for fear of looking weird :')
I have to disagree with some of the posters on the final page, as long as you're planning to just give it a go and back off if she doesn't seem interested I really don't see what's wrong with wanting to do it properly, ie in person, in case it does all go right!
The old workplace was a decent plan, definitely go in as 'we were friends and I know she worked here, we fell out of contact a little and was just wondering where she's working now' - might be better to go to some more junior staff as they may have been her friends/will likely be more helpful. If you know the current company she's working in surely a Google search will give you her address though?
P.S. I think it's sad that it's cool to facebook stalk someone and ask them out on there but apparently creepy/weird to want to do it in real life!

That could work too, I tend to go with Facebook because I can pretend I casually came across them and I don't need to send them a message to find out about their life but I suppose Twitter could work too

I'd prefer Twitter. But is there a way to send private messages on Twitter rather than have the whole world see my attempt to reconnect with her?

You will have to get to know her all over again, just invite her out for a coffee with you or something for you two to get to know each other- then see where it goes from there
