Should I Accept a FB Friend Request form a Long Lost High School Boyfriend?

I'm going to digress from my usual format of seeing my life through the books I read.  Although I do have some interesting reviews to write, this topic takes precedence for me today.  I've been out of the country for three weeks on a wonderful vacation to Japan and Southeast Asia.  Email and Facebook have taken a backseat, as they should, to allow me to soak up the sights, sounds and people in these fascinating countries.  I'm back home now trying to catch up on all the happenings of my Facebook friends.

Two hundred and fifty six notifications and one friend request.  It's not often I get new friend requests so I opened that first.  The name was a blast from the past to be sure. It's from my one and only and short lived high school boyfriend.  Now I know I've recently connected with several old friends at my 45th high school reunion but he was a year behind me.  I had to ask him to the junior prom and he was old news by the time the senior prom rolled around so I had no date to that.  Plus I was the one with a driver's license and I had to pick him up at his house and drive us whenever we went out.  His parents must have thought I was trustworthy at the time.

Curious, I clicked on his profile.  There were pictures of his wife and children and a sixty something year old man.  I studied it for awhile.  I thought this guy was cuter than everything at sixteen.  Now he looks more than just a little worn out. What was the attraction?   Did he think the same thing about me when he sought me out on Facebook?  Would he have sent the friend request if he did?

I'm not sure I want to read about his political views or see pictures of what he's having for dinner at this stage of my life.  Should I accept his friend request?  Or should I let the thrill of teenage love stay in the past where it belongs?
