I think I would invite them to hang out a few times, have a few drinks, play some pool. I'd tell them a few stories.
After a few weeks, I think I'd tell them to call me in a month if they still wanted to hang out. I don't think I'm emotionally equipped to deal with a person who's trying to find themselves. That's probably why I don't have any "known since childhood" best friends in reality. I don't even keep in touch with people from high school.
