Has anyone contacted a long lost friend after 20+ years.

Just looking for the OT's insight on this. I had a good friend that I went through AIT with and were both stationed in Germany. Lost touch after I left and never spoke to him again. He isn't on Facebook but I've found his email address and phone number just through Google search. Not even sure they are up to date.
Would it be weird if I contacted him just out of the blue like that?

Once you've showered with a guy it's ok to reach out and make contact.

No, I've been meaning to do more of this.

Thought this was going to be about your wife’s ex-boyfriend jumping into her DMs (I confess to not knowing that even is).

Do it. He might be trying to find you too.
Sorry he's not on FB--that's where I've reconnected with a lot of old friends

Facebook would be completely normal.
Phone or email would be weird. Some people just don't want to be found.

The only time anyone ever contacts you after years of silence is because they need people for their MLM job.

Nah do it. I have and one of two things seem to happen. You meet once and have a meal/coffee and realize you shared a path for a while but are different now or you reconnect and add a friend.

just reach out...the worst that can happen is he doesn't reply

I had a guy I went all through training with and was stationed at the same base with. This guy apparently had a bad experience in Desert Storm. He popped up on Facebook and I reached out to him. He had no idea who I was. No recollection whatsoever. He even had pictures of me and him in training together posted.
I thought that was really weird. Such a nice guy but he looked like he’d been through the wringer. Don’t be surprised you don’t get the response you’re expecting.
Another guy I got back in contact with has become a great friend again. We speak often and visit every year or two.

No idea on this guy, but I'm not on Facebook, because I dont care to be contacted by "old friends".

For clarity, are you reaching out and making contact during the shower, or waiting until yall get out of the shower?

Not so much of a friend but when I was 10-11 my friend had an older brother. Haven’t seen him in 30 years. I go into a store to pick up some medicine and there he his out of the blue.

Yeah, a really good friend from HS, lost touch for about 15 years. Reconnected several years back and now really good friends again, chat and get together often. You just have to get past the weirdness.

Thats not a friend, friend.

How big was his meat hammer?

He would probably be excited you found him.
It would be a very cool surprise

Yes. Great friend from HS. As a Junior, he straight up left school one day and never came back. Kids parents divorced, stepdad a POS with money, beat him a lot, made his life hell. His battered mom finally took pity on him and sent him to Minneapolis to live with her sister’s family.
Fast forward 25 years and my ex girlfriend randomly texts me that she was at her son’s basketball game 150 miles from our hometown, and this dude was there watching his boy play her son. She got his number for me and I looked him up next time I was in Iowa. We got our kids together at his small town pool and caught up. He went to the Navy and became a mechanical engineer. 4 kids and a nice wife from the east coast. I was happy for him.
