I have moved a few different times in my life and i have kept in contact with most of them, the ones i lost contact with i was luckily able to find them on myspace and keep intouch with them that way. Does anyone else keep in contact with old friends or find old friends who they lost contact with or do you just move on with your life and make new ones?

Hi! Yeah I can say that I do keep in touch with my old friends. Im a loner but I do have lots of friends. Only a few good and very close friends. I dont keep in touch with all of my friends all the time. I drop them a line when its their special day or they've accomplished something great and I greet them for it to know that I still care and think about them. We might lead different lives now but its still good to contact your friends just to remind them that you are still there. As for my close friends I am constantly updated on them and some of my close friends are my classmates right now so we see a lot of each other and we are with each other everyday. WE also hang out. Im more into the small close tight-knit groups rather than the big friends of everybody kind of group of friends because with the small group you really get to know a lot about each and everyone of them rather than having little updates on everybody.^_^

I have lost contact with a few people from high school. I have caught up with a few of them on myspace but I still dont talk to them much. I think it's because they all didnt want to be friends after I had a baby shortly before I turned 18. I have made a one new AWSOME best friend! She is the greatest and we have so much in common. I couldnt have asked for such a great friend. She was a dream come true at the right moment in my life. I have just moved on with my life after high school. It's just too much to try to keep in contact with them after having children. They seem to not care.

I am unable to keep in contact with old friends. Distance between us are enough I think to make our bonds weak. I was trying several times to keep in contact with old friends but none of my tries ever succed.

I had a friend i knew since i was in elementary school and i lost contact with her about 6 years ago and just got back intouch with her about 2 years ago because i looked up her mom on the internet and found there address and wrote her mom a letter and she wrote me back and we were able to keep in touch. Have you tried maybe being pen pals or maybe sending emails?

I try my best to keep in touch with old friends. Some I have lost contact because they moved to far away places. One excellent way to find the contact information for old class mates had been the alumni directory. I found some through that.

I always make sure to keep in touch with my old friends. But there are those whom I lose contact with. It's nothing I really worry about though. I know that even if I lose contact with them, I am sure that I will be able to find a way in one way or another to find them. Like I have this friend with whom I lost contact with. It's been around 3 years until I met a common friend of ours. I got her new contact details from that common friend.

Though i want to keep in touch with all my old friends, i could not do so because of my busy shedule. Anyway i am really trying to keep in contact with them as much as i can. www.way2winonline.com
