asking out someone I broke up with before?

Question

In 2005, I dated someone briefly and broke up with her because I had strong feelings towards someone else. She really liked me, but I just didn't appreciate it at the time because I was so hung up on this other woman (who she knew about). Time went on and we stayed friends, though not close friends. At one point, I didn't see her for about six months.

Now, she's single again and has been hanging out with the group once more. I sense that she's still attracted to me, and I'd love to ask her out again. But I'm not sure how. There's a definite "distance" vibe that comes across when I hint at wanting to see her again, though she's been game for group activities and our interactions are positive in that setting. The distance is understandable, as I didn't give her feelings too much thought in 2005 and hurt her. But I want to tell her that I'm sorry and that my feelings are a lot different now (without making it too awkward).

How to proceed?

Answer 1

just go and talk to her. im sure that if u just start flirting she´ll just think that shes imagining it and wont believe its ture because if she does and then shes wrong it´ll just hurt again. talk to her and apologise for 2005 and tell her that u liked someone else at that time (most girls understand it) and that u noticed what a great person she is and that u would like to try again
good luck
