How much information is too much to reveal when reconnecting with an old acquaintance?

I recently found an old acquaintance in Facebook. 34 years ago, as I was passing through California on the way home to return to school, I met a woman my age in Yosemite, and for 3 days we hung out as friends...we were both solo, so it made sense. She was visiting Yosemite and California before returning home to Toronto to go to school to become a doctor. We exchanged numbers, and went about our lives. I reached out a few times that year, she never returned my calls...Fast forward 34 years, and I was going through old pictures and found her name on the back. I found her on Facebook, and reached out to her, sharing one of the pictures with her. She replied it was her and how did I remember? I explained I was going through old pictures, found her name and looked her up. I explained I see that she became a doctor like she said and to chat some time. She read it. No response. I reached out again with a few more questions. Read, no response. I then took a hint, thanked her for her time, and wished her happy holidays. Did I say too much? Did I do something wrong? Please advise.

    She is not as sentimental as you and has a busy life probably, no time for nostalgia. I think it is wonderful to re-connect after so long and it is a pity she does not reciprocate and wish to get together. But at least you had the experience due to social media of making it possible. It could never have happened 34 years ago.
