The Googlin' of an Ex

The Googlin' of an Ex


Have you ever Googled an ex? Does it seem creepy to you that someone would do that? I’ve done that a couple of times and fortunately they have names that aren’t too common. Maybe the level of creepy depends on my intentions.

One woman was my very first girlfriend from 6th grade. First real kiss, first real make out session, first real… well you get the idea. I moved away in 7th grade which would have been '78. I think it was 2002 I searched her. And there she was… On MySpace. We all change, but she didn’t seem to change in appearance at all. Still wore her hair the same way as in 1978. It was long and blonde. Only so many ways to wear that. I think she added eye glasses. Still pretty darned adorable.

It was maybe a few months later she reached out to me! I got an asking if I was that guy, from that time. We actually talked. She had never married, though she cohabited. Never had . She told me how she gained a lot of weight in her 20’s and lost it all in her early 30’s. She still lived in the same town, just a few blocks from where she grew up. And she told me that she had hoped to find me someday, not married. I was married.

We emailed back and forth over a or so. Light pleasant emails. Reminiscing a little but nothing really romantic, intentionally. My last email to her was something like, “I hope you’re having a wonderful day. I got to thinking that glad we have reconnected and enjoy our exchanges.” Then nothing. I thought I spooked her off. Was that too touchy feely?

A few months went by and I Googled her again and found her obituary. My heart sank. I cross checked to make sure it was the same person. There was her picture. She had died just a day before I sent the . If the account is still viable, it could be sitting in an<b> inbox </font></b>right now waiting to be opened.

It was a couple of later I got on . I actually found a mutual friend of ours from school. Still living in the same town. After catching up a little I asked if she remembered this girl. “Oh we stayed friends and it's so sad,” She told me, “She died at 36. Heart failure.”

I don’t know of there is a moral to this story or not. When you have such fond memories of a person and shared experiences its nice to be able to catch up. It was horrible to hear of her passing, but glad we were able to look back at those experiences and talk about life as adults.

Damn when a 50 yr. old guy googles a gal he knew from 6th grade it's time for a hobby...

As curious as one may be, sometimes it's best to leave the past where it belongs.

I am quite certain I do not want to Google anyone in my previous life. I have a fine life right now

A few years ago I was cleaning out some old stuff and found a box of pics some from over 30 years ago. Included was some with an ex "L" from the early 80s. I got curious and did a search and found her. I eventually called and the number was her daughter's - who happened to be visiting L from a different part of the state. The daughter had no idea who I was but said my name and in the background I heard "given me that!".

We caught up and she mentioned she had wondered where I was and had tried to "google" me. We continue to talk and have a "date" scheduled for whenever I get there.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

So cool. Good luck on that "date!"
