I was nostalgic a couple weeks ago and started looking around for old high school and college friends on the internet. I found that a college friend is now a professor at a university. I went to the university website which had a picture of her (she hasn’t changed a bit!) and her email address.

I sent her an email titled “A Blast from the Past”. My email address is my first initial and my last name, so I thought if she was at all suspicious she would at least look at the name and hopefully realize it was not spam.

Since it’s Spring Break season, and this was her work address, I gave it a couple weeks, just in case she was gone the week I sent it. That was almost 2 weeks ago.

We didn’t end our friendship on bad terms…just sort of drifted apart. She ended up on the east coast, I stayed in the midwest. After not hearing from her for several years, I got an invite to her wedding. I sent her a card with a note saying I couldn’t make it, but then never heard from her again.

So my question is, do you think she just looked at the title of the email and deleted it, thinking it was spam? and if so, should I send it again, maybe changing the title?

Or should I let it drop, assuming she’s not interested in renewing a friendship from her past? We’ve been out of college for 25 years, and I last heard from her 15-17 years ago.

I keep getting mass email invites from someone I don’t like. How do I ask her to stop?

In the past (before I saw her true character-manipulative, controlling, etc.) she wouldn’t accept any my invitations, and if she did, she would put stipulations on the invite that would satisfy her (i.e. completely changing the place, time, etc). Now she keeps including me on a mail email blast, with 400 other people. I don’t wish to be friends with her, nor do I wish to receive her emails. We have mutual friends and I don’t wish them to be caught in the middle. What should I say and how should I say it to save everyone peace of mind?
In order to block her I have to delete her FB. Deleting her would create a world of problems. So I figured if I am going to delete her anyways, might as well let her know shy.
