Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

Recently I've been getting emails/IMs from guys that I haven't spoken to in a long time (2 years in one instance). The basic premise of their messages is "hey. How are you? Would you like to hang out sometime?" One guy (the one whom I haven't spoken to in 2 years) even went so far as to attach a recent photo of himself.

What is up with the folks crawling out of the woodwork after all this time?

I'll admit that there may be one or 2 people that I wonder about from time to time. Maybe it's pride or maybe I just prefer to let sleeping dogs lie, but I would never contact these people. I like to have a sort of finality about my encounters so that things are pretty predictable. When it's over, it's over....you shouldn't be popping up years later and interrupting my mental flow...whatever that may be at the time.

GC says that I have the "it" factor and that's why they keep coming back. As flattering as that is, I must disagree. Why is it that only the people I wasn't interested in keep on coming back like acid indigestion? The folks that I was interested in on any level never or rarely return. No, GC...I don't think it's the "it" factor that keeps them coming back. I think it's the fact that they must be cleaning out their phone books for the spring....and they're still single so they're mining for prospects. Hmmmm.
