Just for clarification, the friend is a gal and I'm a guy.
afaik, I don't remember anything unusual or more than meets the
eyes. Just plain friendship that's all. And what I've said was what
had happened, nothing extra in the background.
The problem now is when trying to contact her again after so long
is how not to appear as if I've an ulterior motive for doing so, so
that she'll be more comfortable replying emails back to me. Whe it
comes to dealing with friends of opposite sex, this is always a
problem, scared she will mis-interprete and think too much.
Btw, I don't have her contact number, only her email address as
already stated.
