finding an ex bf

hmm Im wanting to find an ex bf, from school, he used to live near the school but I dont remember the address, and dont have his phone number since I used to have his mobile number for a bit after we left school but then we lost contact :frown:

we went out for 6 weeks in year 11 and were really good friends the whole 5 years, I ended it cos I was really pressured with my gcse's and my parents going on at me non stop about revision.. I'd like to meet up with him and see if we can still be friends.. but I dunno how to get in contact with him..

we left school 4 years ago and lost touch after gcse results day, I saw him when I went in to collect mine and remember thinking how much I missed him :frown: Ive thought about him a lot over the time but never had the guts to try and contact him..

any ideas?

any mutual mates? or find his name in an address book? though that could be seen as a bit stalkerish lol... talking to a mate who might still be in contact with him is probably the best way, if you went to school together then it shouldn't be too difficult

btw i was gonna go see nickelback and bon jovi last night, damn wembley not being ready in time!

hmm well emailed a friend from school that ive kept in contact with but not had a reply yet, umm no one else that would know really and I doubt this friend knows :frown:

Looked in the phonebook but couldnt find him cos it would be under his parents innitials wouldnt it? which I dont know so hmm me and my useless memory! we went to his house once and I cant remember the address :redface: :frown:

Im signed up on friendsreunited.co.uk but he's not on the list of people who left in our year hmmz

I'm pretty sure that you can add his name to Friends Reunited & request if anyone has heard from him to contact you.

Alternatively, any websites such as Myspace, Faceparty (urgh :rolleyes: ) or ask around amongst your friends.

Hey aleathiel!

Try www.b4usearch.com people finder. You can find most people on there. If his name doesn't come up then try his parents names if you know it :s-smilie: lol

But you need to know their location though.

You could ask him if he wants to meet up for a drink or something.
