Reconnecting with old friends can be a beautiful journey. The memories and laughs shared can hold a special place in your heart, and talking to them again can inspire warmth and excitement. The good news is, that through technology, it has never been easier to find them.
1. Use the internet
Search engines such as Google are great tools for finding people online. Try different combinations of search terms, like their name and the city they lived in or their name and high school. This will bring up any public information or social media profiles that match the search criteria. You can also try searching for mutual friends with contact information for the person you are trying to find.
2. Make yourself easier to find
It is possible that your old friends might also be searching for you, so make yourself easy to find. Create a Facebook profile using your first name and surname; also, consider adding any previous names you have been known by. To protect your identity online, ensure that set your profile up as ‘private.’
3. Search on social media
On Facebook, use the search bar at the top of the page to search for your friend’s name. If the name is common, it may bring up multiple results, so you can narrow down the search by using additional information such as their location, school, or workplace. Click on each individual result to check out their personal profile and identifying information. If they have a private account, you may need to send them a friend request or message them to access their profile.
