Should I call someone from my past not knowing his marital status?? It's been a long time since we have spoken?

Keila, IF you do have a legitimate reason to contact this person, I see no reason why you couldn't get in touch with him. Let him know first you need his advice on a situation, tho't of him, but were a bit hesitant as you didn't want to cause problems in his life unjustifiably. I'm sure he'll be honest with you & you're being honest with him from the very beginning of your contact with him. Nothing ventured nothing gained!...best to you...:)

If you are honestly just seeking his advice as a trusted friend, then yes, I'd say it's fine. But since you are specifically saying you don't know his marital status, it sounds to me like you are interested in more than just some friendly words of advice.

It's pretty easy to find a lot of information on line these days. Try to find him on facebook or linkedin. If you know what city and state he lives in, you can look him up on whitepages.com. It usually lists other people at the same address, and their ages. If there is a female listed at the same address, with the same last name and roughly the same age, chances are he's married. A lot of high schools have alumni pages with bios of all the students. If he's someone you went to high school or college with you might be able to get some information from one of those websites as well.

At any rate, if he's married, leave him alone. If he's not, give him a call and just say you've been thinking about him and would love to catch up.

I was wondering the same about someone I knew almost 8 yrs back

don't see why you shouldn't but the only way to know he is married is by contacting him

unless you can find his social networking profile and see status there

I just recieved a message on FB from an old friend and he said, "I don't mean to intrude, but I was thinking about you and wondered how things have been going...etc"

I thought that was a nice way to introduce himself back into my life. You might try something like that...

If you intend a platonic connection (but I don't think you do...) then just contact him.

If you are thinking or hoping a relationship might be kindled, then I think you ought to try and find out his single or not status and not bother him if he is attached. Check out facebook & such. Ask one of his friends or...

Call him & ask him right out if he is married. The alternative is stalking & much wasted time.

you dont need his advise you want to pursue a relationship.

leave him alone.
