Hey all,
I probs should have posted this in social skills forum, but it sort of is a (friendly, platonic) relationship, and I need advice!
Recently, one of my old school friends whom I have known since I was like 5 and have always kept in touch with time-to-time since leaving school deleted their FB/Whatsapp.
They didn't delete me personally - they deleted their whole account. I don't have their phone number, so have sort of lost touch and feel it is a bit of a shame as we would message etc.
I do have them on Linkedin (which they haven't yet deleted), and apparently I can message their deactivated FB account and they will see when they login (which they sometimes do).
I am a very socially shy person (if you know what i mean), so wanted to reach-out to them through one of the ways above to ask for their number (and offer mine) so we can add each other on Whatsapp. You know, in a friendly - not overformal and creepy sort of way...
Was just wondering if some trained minds on here could give me some tips that would relieve my anxiety about this and get me 'over the line' in doing it. Any suggestions, please? :)
I was thinking something like: 'hey , noticed you deleted fb/whatsapp - hope you're okay? Just wondered if we could add on Whatsapp - I really don't want to lost touch!! My number is . :)'
Would something like that be okay? Cheers so much for any advice - you guys are lifesavers in sparing anxiety!
