What first question that you will asking to your old friends when you meet them?

the first question I ask is "how are you?how have you been?".I'll ask how is life,where s/he is working now,how is his wife/her husband and/or children.I am one of those people who doesn't have a lot of different group of friends,but I value my friendships.I only select people who are worthy of my time.

Hmm I only got in touch with one of my friends after 6 years. She happend to see my email id from one of our common friend's forwarded mail cc list!! It all depend son the intensity of friendship towards the lost and found friend. I had this best friends who went out of touch and I took initiative to get in touch with her, we were almost oceans apart when we got in touch and I was very angry with her for not trying to contact me. So I was like where in the world are you? do u remeber me? how are u??? thing!!! On a very casual meeting, I would ask oh hi1 there you are after along time...how are you? I would ask about her/his family and all. it is nice to get back friends...
