An ex-girlfriend from 30+ years ago sent me a friend request a month or so ago. I was a little hesitant to accept

If you are married I can understand. If not, why worry?

I think I've sorted through most of my ex's at this point. In most cases FB contact is fine. Recently, one had moved near our area wanted to meet up for drinks (and invited my wife.) Now in some cases it may be fine but the last one set off warning lights some how. FB contact seemed fine but I am politely avoiding any physical social contact. They seem to have accepted that at this point.

I think what tripped off the alarm for me is the feeling that there was a large and emotional need behind the invite that she revealed in chat. That's the trap to avoid. I mean yeah, you can have women friends but given history I know better here.

"Just friends..."
