Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You have nothing to lose.

It depends on whether you're the type to always wonder. . . sometimes people don't call back because the timing is bad or something big came up and then the momentum was lost. A text is low pressure and you will never know whether he had a look of extreme irritation or delight cross over his face with your text, but since you haven't been bugging him then I should think it would be fine.

Also, I'm a person who likes to approach the world in an intuitive manner and sometimes I think the universe sends messages, like a TV show that reminds you of him. What would you lose by this? Nothing probably. What could you potentially gain? Only you know the answer.

Just a bit of pride. And a smidgen of dignity.

While I probably won't text him for different reasons. I have to disagree, I think if your pride and dignity depend on whether or not you send a lighthearted text to a guy you had two dates with, well then you might have to reassess your self worth.

Ok I was making a generalization, you went and made it personal guess it's a touchy subject for you. That being said, I am not pining over anyone, a show I was watching reminded me of someone and I was wondering if I should reach out to him. I'm 34 years old if I had this guy on my mind so much believe me I would've reached out to him long ago and with my dignity and pride intact.

I wouldn't do it.

It's your choice though.

Anyway was watching a program that we both said we loved, and it reminded me of him (the main character’s humor reminds me of him), and was thinking if it would look weird or desperate if I would shoot him a text.

I know on one hand I have nothing to lose, but on the other hand I’d feel super awkward/stupid if he has a girlfriend. I looked at his profile on the dating site we met, and it looks like he hasn’t been on in quite a while, I know that doesn’t necessarily mean he has a girlfriend, could just be his membership expired and he didn’t renew as I remember him saying he was just trying the experience of online dating and didn’t enjoy it much. So what do you guys think I should do? Should I text him, or just leave it alone? I’m fine with either one, not like I think about this guy much, just thought of him today cause of the show.
Go for it! Text him! I can tell that you need an answer. He may respond with a YES, I would like to date you again or NO. If he responds YES...great! If he responds NO...oh well. Your ego may take a hit for a short while, but it is not like the NO will be splashed across newspaper headlines.
