Is there any correct way to reach out to someone from the past?

 

Long story short: I went on a date with this guy in february. It was a 6 hour date and it went quite well. The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that he name dropped a little bit. He also was a show-off. However, he genuinely seemed VERY into me. He worked with my father before, met my mother and is good buddies with my brother. Because of this, I knew that he wasn't just trying to f*** me. Anyway, I didn't give him a chance because a mutual friend bad-mouthed him by saying he was "quite the show-off AND name dropper" so that turned me off quite a bit.

 

Now, 4 months later, he's crossed my mind and I'm wondering if I made the mistake of shutting him down too quickly. I want to reach out to him and see how he is, but I don't want to come off like some lonely chick who's hoping he'll give me another chance (lol)

 

I was thinking something along the lines of "Hi, you crossed my mind, hope you're well" I want to come off very casual but not like I'm brushing him off.

 

Any thoughts are appreciated :)

Personally for me, if you didn't give me a chance the first time, I wouldn't give you one if you came back around. Him knowing this, it's possible his intentions may have changed for the worse if you do come to him.

I've had a few girls do this to me in the past and I shrugged it off and moved on with my life. To this day I still get random messages from some of them "checking up on me" the second I mention I have a girlfriend which is in my reply message, they go silent.

 

Then 6 months - 1 year later they will send another message. Got one last week...

 

In other words I think you missed your chance most likely. For me personally I give a person a chance and if they walk away that is fine, just don't expect the door to be open next time you come around.
