Have you ever run into an old girlfriend or boyfriend after not seeing them for many years?

Wow. Yeah. Once. I was at Walmart in Wichita. I was crouched down by a magazine rack and some guy wolf whistled. I just ignored him. Then he said my name, so I stood up and looked at him warily.
He said, “You don’t recognize me, do you. Greg.”
I looked deep into his melting, dark eyes and almost fainted when I saw him like I remembered him. We had dated for over a year in high school. He broke up with me just before our Senior year and that completely ruined that whole year for me. He had wife and a child who he introduced me to.
Last time I had seen him was in 1976. And Walmart happened in 1990 or so. And yes. It had an extreme emotional impact on me, but we had moved into two different worlds.

Never, the motor vehicle accident insurance excess is a real killer on my car insurance policy.

I found my high school sweetheart on FB and we talked for 2 years
and then we decided we wanted to see what kind of adult we turned
into. He was just a football jock in high school but we were each others
first in every manner. I took a trip and went to see him for a week and
it was very interesting. He turned out to be smarter than I ever thought
he would be….but of course he had put on weight and thinned out hair.
He remembered so many things about our relationship that was 38 years
ago but was on his 3rd marriage. It was sweet as he told me the exact time
he “fell in love with me at 17” and that my mother made the best spaghetti.
It was a week I will never forget and we decided we better go our seperate
ways after the week was over or the whole thing could have gotten too
complicated to fast. But it was neat seeing how we had grown from teens
to adults. You never forget your first love.

Sort of. The best friend of an old boyfriend was spotted in a restaurant one night ~15 years since we all last saw each other and 100s of miles away from that city (Minneapolis). I approached Rick and asked him if a.) it was him, and b.) what the heck he was doing in Memphis. Rick was moving to Florida and was halfway back to Minn. after a house search.

He said that the ex boyfriend agreed to help him move, and they would give me a call when heading back through. Sure enough they did, and the three of us had dinner together. It was fun to verbally revisit our olden days, as well as catch up.

LOL, there were no pangs of regret for either of us, I expect. I was happy that he ended up living where he wanted to be, loving his wife and the three sons. I was happy with my career and would have been miserable had we stayed together.

The reunion took place ~22 years ago. I’m really happy that it happened. Break-ups are rarely positive for both parties. This was an opportunity for both of us to see that it was the right decision.

Yes, I ran into my first love after not seeing him for over 22 years. We were older but still looked enough the same to be recognizable. After going through a failed marriage I was missing the good old days & his wife had recently died. Long story short, there was NO spark left & after a few dates, we went our separate ways & I no longer think about missing him.
