Say you had met someone online about a year and a half ago, a long time I know, but you dated a few times, even kissed (so obviously we liked each other) and for whatever reason you didn't actively pursue but didn't actively reject either meaning you didn't call her up to setup another date but didn't hear from her asking to meetup again either. Now, after all this time has passed, her pic appears on your Facebook (Facebook suggests people for you from your old email contacts ), I sent her a message saying Hi Do you think this was appropriate?

I think she was a really great girl but at the time I was in a very busy project at work and I guess I wasn't in a state to take a more active role in dating and she was perhaps waiting for me to take the lead which never happened so... I was meaning to get back to her but went out of town for a bit and then it was too late...perhaps lame excuses but oh well, I know I messed up but it happens sometimes I guess I did like her a lot though.

Saying hey is never bad unless she despises you and wants you to go away. Play it by year and see what happens.

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying hi without any kind of expectation. Nothing wrong with being friends. If you're looking to date her again, she might be a bit weary, tho.

I don`t think there is anything wrong with reaching out to say,"Hey" but who knows what is going on with her now.

Of course.
Nothing inappropriate with greeting or even conversing with someone who was an old possibility.
The flame may still be lit.

Dude, I think you're horney bored/hard up and really not that into her (LOL!).

Do yourself and this girl a favor, and move on down the road. Afterall, your "Miss Right" might be around the corner.

Otherwise, you'll be back on here in a few months from now seeking advice as to how to salvage a car with a tank full of sugar

I tried to do that once.

There was a guy I went to elementary school with who liked me and even tried to kiss me once. I was always curious to see what happened to him, since he moved away suddenly.

I found him on myspace a few years ago, and he's now flamboyantly gay. Go figure.

just as an update, I did not receive any response...I guess she may be pissed at me which isn't entirely fair as she didn't take initiative to move forward as well... past a certain point women should also call guys up and express interest in going out right? hmm... oh well!

I always appreciate it when OP's come back and update their threads

Sorry things didn't work out for you.
