Send each of those friends a message explaining the situation in detail. Now, to answer your question, there really isn’t any way to try to contact your friend on Facebook directly, but there is a technique that has worked fairly well for others in the past…Ĭheck out her Timeline and try to identify a couple of her friends who seem to be really close to her. I’m not saying it’ll be like that, but I do believe you need to be prepared for that possibility.

That could mean she has grown up to be a very private person, which in turn could mean that she might not be very receptive to being “found” by a long-lost friend. Rick’s answer: Anita, it sounds like your long-lost friend has some pretty restrictive Privacy settings in place. I’ll be in your debt forever if you can help me! The thing is I finally tracked down her profile on Facebook, but there’s no “Add Friend” button and no “Message” button. I can see her Timeline but I can’t post anything on it.ĭo you know of ANY way possible that I can contact my long-lost friend? I think that was around 4th grade if memory serves. When I was in grade school my best friend in the world moved away and I never saw her again. Question from Anita: Rick, I have a problem, and I’m hoping you can help me figure out a solution.
