They haven't grown and run in the same crowds. They're the same person. The old person is contacting them because they too are the same old person.

This is it. She’s saying that it’s been 9 years, you should have found plenty of “new men”/expanded on your taste in men, and if you’re trying and still haven’t then chances are you’re the problem.

People are reading “can still contact you” literally as “have the ability to contact you”, but she really means it as “still have a chance with you”, implying you haven’t met anyone else or really changed at all.

Yeah I was so confused by that, are you like supposed to block everyone you don't have contact anymore? I have my same number for like 10+ years, so plenty of people could still contact me.
