Advice needed! Please read! What should I do?
I lost contact with my longtime friend. WE haven't spoken in 2 years and hasn't seen each other in 3. He deleted all of his social media accounts, moved even farther away, and doesn't have the same phone number. I found a relative of his and even though she doesnt know who I am, I sent her a message on facebook, but I'm pretty sure it went to her message request box because we're not friends on facebook and she probably won't ever see it. I was thinking of trying to send a message to his sister, but she got married and doesn't have the same last name listed on her facebook. I don't think she would remember who I am and I thought it would be even weirder if I sent her a message. I'm not sure what I should do and I really miss my friend. What should or what can I do?

The relative you contacted may actually see it, maybe not right away, but people do realize every now and then that they have messages they ve never seen before. I actually think that s a relay stupid thing Facebook allowed, because if somebody has an emergency and is trying to contact you, that person wouldn t even know it in time.
Also, you can see about trying friends on her page, contact them to see if you can get them to notify her of a message she has. However, that could come off as creepy that you d desperate for her to see it badly.
Even if his sister won t recognize you, there s nothing wrong with politely introducing yourself and telling her you ve been trying to reach your friend and miss his company, and would like to notify him.
However, I tend to question if your friend even cares to reconnect with you. if he deleted all of his contacts and social media, why didn t he bother to at least reserve contact information between you and himself? It seems as though he didn t give much care to leave everyone behind.

hes obviously a terrible friend and doesn't care about you. i know that you miss him, but if he doesn't care about you, do you want to be friends with him? a friend like that isn't a friend at all. you'll make new friends, and i'm sure you'll make much better ones! just try to forget about him. he forgot about you!
