Should I add with my first love on social media or would it be awkward?

My first love and I were together for around 3 years before we broke up about 8 years ago, it was a mutual break up as we were quite young and things fizzled out. During the time we were apart she did have a 2 year relationship shortly after she left but that she got cheated on.

She did add me on social media a few years after we lost touch but I removed her after a few days as I tried to stay away from her as I was still healing, I then found out she got engaged around 6 months after that. In that time I was in another relationship which turned toxic so I left that and now I'm single. My ex however (my first love) did end up getting married but now I have found out she has got divorced recently about 7 months ago I think.

I am guessing she's single now if the divorce is fresh, I know its a long shot but she was my first love and I never really forgot about her, even though we haven't been in touch for years. I've been thinking about her a lot. Should I try adding her on social media, if so how long should I wait? I know a relationship with her is probably a probably not going to happen but I am curious whether she still thinks of me in a positive way as we parted on good terms.

I know a relationship is highly unlikely with her and I don't really have high hopes of that, but could there be anything negative coming from me adding her?

The only thing is her ex husband is a family friend of mine, I'm not really that close to him but we do know each other so I'm hoping that doesn't make things awkward.

Is it worth adding her on social media?

Yes - given you are both single, nothing to lose. You sound infatuated by her, but people change a lot through time and circumstances. I wouldn’t expect anything, but no harm reaching out. The family friend ex is a non-issue.
