I had a Jewish friend start working for chic fi la in hs and kept working there in college.
After some years working there he starting going on these mission trips. Never saw him again.
Looked him up recently and he currently lives in Atlanta. I had to find him through his sister though since he has zero social media presence.

No, but be prepared if he doesn't respond and/or rekindle anything with you. I like to think humans are basically reborn every 10 years, for lack of a better way to describe. He will be a completely different person in a completely different area of life than he was when you knew him. That could be great, could be terrible.

Reach out and not weird at all

I've done this with a few old friends. Maybe not 20 years, but 10-15 years. Some experiences are great. We pick up right where we left off and it's like no time has passed. But sometimes it can be weird if you have a friend that is exactly the same person as they were when they were 18. Had that happen once and immediately regretted contacting the person.

If by ‘weird’ you mean ‘gay’, yes

Facebook would be completely normal.
Phone or email would be weird. Some people just don't want to be found.
Before FB, phone or email would've been completely normal.

Had a class reunion a few months ago. Saw a guy i hadn't seen since high school. I said are you.....? He laughed and said " Yep!, you remember that pass I threw you in the 6th grade? 45 yards!" etc. We only spoke probably ten minutes but it was amazing to see how a sports moment could bring out such joy in a person. He was about 6 foot 4 in hs and I was 2 inches shorter. that day he was about 6 foot. We have gotten old. He was also the guy that was known to be a good fighter. At the stadium in shreveport I saw a big guy walk up to him, thinking he was going to bully him. The bully was older and bigger and I was just sitting next to dad watching. My friend used both fists like hitting rapid fire on a punching bag. The bullies left eyebrow was hanging in front of his eye and his other eye was swollen and probably a broken nose. I didn't hang with that friend much, didn't want to get on his bad side. Point being, sometimes its great to catch up with old friends.

My wife is friends with one of my former college friends. This friend has not been receptive to talking. This puzzles me as we good buds for several years.
Ummmmm…have you considered that your wife and he are more than friends..

She's never met the man.
My wife is the last woman on earth that would be unfaithful.
The friend in question was my frat big brother and frat roommate.
I think he thinks I'll judge him as he's not accomplished much in life.

My sisters were in Las Vegas, a guy there was wearing a LSU cap. They started talking with him. Come to find out, we had graduated together. They took a picture with him, asked if I knew who he was. I text back his name. I still remember. It had been a lot longer than 20 years!

To the extent I’ve reconnected with old friends after that period of time, the contact is usually awkward and short lived. I have typically been reminded that there is a reason we drifted apart-different life paths, different theories, different politics, miserable spouse that drove us apart, etc.

I reached out to some pretty good friends from 30+ years ago and a couple said they would call when they have a minute and a couple never responded.
Never heard back from any of them and I guess we're all just too far gone from who we once were to establish any type of communication.

Yep. Contacted one and he almost immediately started trying to sell his product to me

I would write him a handwritten letter with a slight hint of lavender emanating from the envelope

Retired military myself, do it.

How are friends if they’ve never met?
