So, I’ve been pondering this occasionally for a few weeks now. It’s been 7 years since I deactivated my Facebook, and I’m glad I did.
But something in the back of my mind has been curious about reactivating it. I’ve recently came around to it, about three weeks ago.
A girl from the commercial driving school I went to, also had to do a drug screening at the same clinic. She seemed like your typical soft spoken southern girl, from a big town. To me, the way her hair complimented her eyes was beautiful and all but.. I doubt I could ever trust someone enough to get that close.
During that whole month I went to the school, her n’ I never interacted at all. But at the clinic, she asked me for my Facebook. I told her that I don’t really use social media.
She mentioned that she takes breaks from it sometimes, and repeatedly said that “ya never know, anything could happen in a week”.
I didn’t know what she meant by that, so I just nodded and went back to scrolling through my old streams. Not intentionally being rude, I’m just not comfortable with in person social interactions with people I don’t really talk to. Plus I recalled her mentioning that she was in a relationship, to another classmate at one point. So I figured I wouldn’t have been right to exchange numbers, anyway.
It wasn’t till later that evening, when I started thinking about what she said.
Don’t get me wrong. I could care less if she was interested in me, as long as she doesn’t find a solid way to reach out to me in the future. But I keep asking myself, by what she said.. Was it reflecting the idea that I might go back to FB at some point?
What would be the point of that? Maybe you can help. Call me stupid for all I care. I’m just bored of sitting in a hotel with no one to talk to, waiting to get back on the road tomorrow.

its true that anything can happen in a week. i personally dont use facebook (i have instagram which is more than enough as its more popular where i live) but, i do have it cause my family uses it, so for that i keep it there if i am bored or for anyone in the family to tag me, whatever. you dont have to be the most active user but its nice to kinda have that connection just in case. personally i wouldnt say that i know if she was interested or not, but i find this situation unusually normal. who knows, even if you guys didnt interact back then, maybe you can get along now after all this time has passed. its like back then wasnt the right moment or smth
I see your point about having it just incase, considering that I also have family that uses it.
But, as far as her trying to connect with me. Trusting someone to be that close to me is something I’ve struggled with for some time now.
Though I am curious of when you mentioned timing. What are your thoughts on that?

i mean people change, so the kind of people you have around you reflect that. sometimes, due to whatever reasons, you can be drawn to want to know about a person and maybe not act on it at a given time, or even not be interested. although maybe, with whatever life has given you, that person may be the company you want have now even if its not the company that had at the time.
lets say that in highschool, i knew about one person in a different class but we never interacted, doesnt mean i dont like them, but maybe, for example, i was too focused on other things or going through something. a few years go by, shit happens, and we bump into each other (like in your case) and we chat. i might just have another opinion of you, the courage or even the interest in keeping in touch after chatting or for any other reason.
its not so deep but i overthink. also you can say fate but maybe its better to not think that a random person is going to completely change your life

Ya know, I never really thought of it that way. I also overthink things in general. However, I believe you’re right. Though only time will tell if she were to cross paths with me again.
