I never thought it would be him...

I've heard that other facebookers have accepted their's but I always frowned on the prospect of doing it myself.

Then I got the message. Do you accept xoxoxo as a friend - accept or DECLINE?

He wasn't even a boyfriend for very long. I think it was my freshmen year's summer when I met him. He was a graduating senior at the rival high school. My mother said the moment he walked in the front door she knew he had "schmooze" written all over his too perfect looking face. (she never trusted him) I though was smitten.

It was a short few months of dating that summer. He was off to college - UT Knoxville - bigger and better things. I remember two things about him...he always wore shorts/overalls (that should have led me on there) and I knew somehow he would never make it through college. (cute but well...you know) I got over him fast and never heard from him again until...

The minute I saw the e-mail notice I felt my stomach gerk. Why would this guy look me up? I hadn't talked to him in almost 18 years (WHY DOES THAT MAKE ME FEEL SO OLD - HOLD ON I THINK I'M GOING TO GO THROW UP)?

Do I accept this cyberfriendship and let him see my beautiful family? Do I look into his life - did he ever make it after flunking UT?

ok, I decided to peek at his profile picture and see his wall. Only a body shot of him golfing - that was all I needed to see (to almost gag) to decide nope - I have no desire to "be friends" with the boy who dumped me at the ripe age of 15ish...
facebook - it's a crazy tool I tell you.

Now if the boyfriend from my senior year asks....wherever he is (a doctor I heard) I might have to reconsider ---- just kidding!
