Should I message this man for a date?

He asked me out a year ago after me coming into his work sometimes. At the time I had just broken up with my ex so I said yes, we texted a bit and he seemed nice (and normal) but then I ended up back together with said ex so messaged to say I couldn't meet him because of that. He left it with all the best type thing and you know where I am.

Fast forward to now and I've been single a few months, no bad break up just ended as friends and he's popped into my head. I don't have his number anymore but I do know he's on facebook. No idea if he's still single but part of me is thinking nothing ventured nothing gained. Worried I might appear fickle though. Soo should I or just leave it?

Ooh exciting! Well done you, now just make sure you fix the date and don’t let it drift into nothing.

Who cares if it seems weird because of the time, he might think this or that. He might think, ‘how brilliant, she got in touch’! Just send a pleasant dignified message, if he says yes, then Great, if no, what have you lost?

I was kind of hoping he would set the date as I don't want to be uber pushy. Nothing mentioned yet but did he message today just chatting. I will pin it down though as we both have dc to work around.

Bit nervous about it now. My last relationship was with a woman so it feels a bit strange to be looking at dating men again.

Fair play to you! Definitely fix up a date quickly

Yay hope you get that date pinned down and it goes brilliantly.

pretty much bound to go well as he's been keen for ages! I'd give a little time to recover from the nice shock and suggest a time - he should do in a day or two.
