Hi ladies looking for some advice.
13 years ago I dated a guy for a few months while working in Australia. We both came back home around the same time but moved to opposite ends of the country. We still stayed in touch and he often sent messaged saying he missed me, wanted to see me again etc. After a year of this we both moved closer to each other and met up one weekend. However, when I messaged him afterwards he was quite cold and I never heard from him again. I deleted and blocked him on FB and was heart broken as I felt he’d led me on for ages. He later sent me a few jokey emails and one with his new email address but I ignored them.
Fast forward 12 years and last week I sent him a friend request on fb which he accepted after 1/2 hour and he messaged 5 mins later. He now lives in Portugal but comes back home quite a lot. I don’t know if he is single but I get the impression he is. We had a nice catch up but never made any arrangements to meet up.
Now I can’t stop thinking about him. I was thinking of dropping him a message saying to give me a shout if he finds himself in my town. Or should I just leave it and wait for him to message me again? He doesn’t know I’m single and to complicate things I’ve a recent FB post of me sitting next to a male friend drinking cocktails so it looks v v much like a date!
I would be grateful for Any advice x

In touch with old flame. Should I chase him?

Blimely sounds like The remains of the Day.

So you haven't had any other romantic interaction since last seeing him 12 years ago, you're now 47, how old is he?
I'm really sorry but I think you may be building this up as more than it is.
Have you tried dating anyone else since?
