contacting people on social networks not sure about this?

I wouldn't do it. If she is that desperate for contact let her join up.

How old is she? 12?

Don't do it.

If she mentions it again just say you forgot and you don't have time. If she's that bothered, she'll sign up herself.

I recently had something like this. One of my son's friends that is on my FB had a friend listed that I hadn't seen for 30 years, from the town I grew up in. I friended him, and mentioned it at a dinner that I went to. Another friend of mine had been very close to this chap, and she had a bit of a crush on him years ago, tho it went nowhere as he is gay.
Anyhooooo....... I passed email addresses between the 2, and she has now met up with said chap and his partner, and is over the moon to have rekindled this friendship, as is he! So it can go well :-)

Yeah, but ... that could equally have been done by your friend joining FB (if not already on) and friending you and friending this other friend that way, no?

I'm NOT on FB, life's too short and I value my privacy, but if that was the only way of getting in touch with someone I suppose I'd join.

pass on his email address to his sister as he himself is not on that site?

I would just say that if she wants to contact him, then why can't she join the sites herself?

You can message anyone - you don't have to be friends with them first.

I have had experience of this, my OH's ex asked a friend to pass on her number to my OH, he told her that he didn't want the number but that she should join - which she then did and then a huge can of worms opened up but that's a different story.

As said, she obviously has internet access as she has an email addy, so if you don't want to get involved, then don't!

Well that's even more desperate.

If you don't know what to say to her, just tell her you sent the message and have heard nothing back. Job done.
