After thinking about it for a couple of days I did send him a reply thanking him for the picture and sort of gently chided him about the EGO involved in thinking he was the "last person" I'd want to hear from (he always did have a healthy ego).
He did write back - I found out he is married with at least one kid (I haven't actually asked if there is more than one kid - tbh it feels weird).
I haven't responded to the latest yet. Because really, he is a part of my PAST and I don't really want to look back that far. So I'm being sort of avoid-y myself.
Also, I can't imagine what he may have said to his wife about me - "and oh btw, honey, I found my ex girlfriend from college via social media and opened a conversation!"
I mean that seems sort of skeevey - even if it turns out to be totally not, I'm a little uncomfortable. So maybe if there is a pause for long enough, the conversation will sort of go dormant and I won't have to deal.
That's terrible, right? But it isn't as if he lives down the street - I likely will never lay eyes on the man ever again. So what's the harm in just not responding because it feels weird to me? Not a lot of harm, to my way of thinking...
It's definitely a creeper thing to do. I mean, most people would have come across that photo and been vaguely nostalgic, maybe smiled a little, and then put it with the rest of their photos. But he used it as an excuse to track you down and contact you, and that doesn't sit well with me, either. Seems like he has an ulterior motive. =/
