Advice please about contacting an old boyfriend

I'm thinking about contacting an old boyfriend I recently found on FB.

According to his page he is in a relationship. I am single.

I have no wish to cause any problems in his relationship, but I would just like to drop him a line to say hello and just find out how he's doing. I have no wish to meet him in person, not while he's in a relationship.

I'm still not certain that I will send him a message, but any tips on what to say if I do? Keeping in mind that he and his DP may both read each other's FB so what do I write that keeps things light and doesn't make me look like I'm a potential homewrecker?

It's been many, many years and I keep thinking he may not even remember me, but it was a serious and very intense relationship, surely he MUST remember me ? If he doesn't I'll just crawl under the nearest rock and never come out Grin

Afternoon all
Just a little reminder that if there's something we could all do with it's some moral support.

whaaat Olivia ?

OP asked a question. People gave their opinion. She didn't like the replies, and we get a slap on the wrist about "moral support" ? Confused

She is being advised not to do something inadvisable and given the reasons why.

The worst advice here would be a pat on the head and a "you go for it, girlfriend, only good can come out of this course of action..."

Ack,
Sorry that wasn't what was meant at all.
I wasn't trying to side with the OP or slap anyone's wrists.

More like peace and love.

Often folk come to MN precisely for advice from strangers but often they find it hard to take that advice and I guess I was just reminding you all of that.

As you were.
