This actually happened to me last year. It turned out to be a HUGE mistake just 3 days after we got together. We got along GREAT on the phone, and we had a fantastic time talking sometimes for 2 or 3 hours at a time, but once together in just 3 days it was over.
Depends who it is. I think many of us are still burning the odd candle for someone and wondering what if it had worked? If you have feelings for her....go for it. The worst thing that can happen is that you'll remember why you split up in the first place. You may find a piece of yourself you lost back then.
The title ends with a question. I won't say what anyone should do but I'll tell you my story.
I was the one who contacted someone after 45 years. Last time I saw him was high school graduation.
He lived in Florida, me in New Jersey so we spent a lot of time on the phone. We met twice in that year and each time he wasn't the same friendly person he was on the phone. I should have dumped him but I was in love so......as they say, love is blind.
Over that year he got a lot of money out of me and then ran off never to call me again.
I contacted him because I wanted the crush I had in high school to turn into love and it did for me. He knew I loved him....never had a doubt....and that's how he was able to use me.
I don't know your situation but I'd be very careful.

Don't think that is going to happen in my life time
I've had a few old boyfriends contact me over the past year, thanks to Facebook and LinkedIn.
It was enjoyable hearing about, "Well, since the last time I saw you, I....".
I am sincerely delighted to hear where they are in life now, what they've accomplished, their children's lives. I am happy for them, as they hold a special place in my heart.
If it were my first wife, I'd ignore it like the plague. If it were my second wife, I might possibly invite her over, or talk on the phone or computer (depending on whether I was with somebody new, then I'd ask permission first.)

Well, this is why Kaybee has always been such a sweet woman to deal with.
