Hello all,

Via Online Dating, I recently matched with a guy who happens to be the roommate of someone I was casually dating 6 months ago. From our chatting, it is clear that this person doesn’t recognise me, we had only met once but I liked him when I met him that time when I was over at their place, we had a nice conversation.

When I was dating his friend, he broke things off with me after a few dates since he wasn’t ready for a relationship and wasn’t over his ex. 

But now, this person and I have matched online. He doesn’t recognise me and we are planning on meeting for a drink soon. I am sure that he will recognise me upon meeting me in person. I am wondering whether to give him the heads up before meeting, so that he can have the chance to ask his buddy if he minds us dating? But then again his buddy was the one who broke things off with me and wanted nothing but casual sex with me when we were seeing each other, something I wasn’t prepared to give since I don’t do casual sex which is why he called things off.

Would appreciate some advice, thanks :)

Unless the  filters on your pics are really heavy, he probably already knows. I’ve dated guys who were friends, and I usually say hey we’ve met before, do you remember? And they’ve all said yes. They just didn’t want to say. 
 

This case in particular is no big deal because you and his roommate were casual and he ended it with no hard feelings on his side. See no reason why he shouldn’t go on a date with you in he wants

Are they still roommates?

I think I'd be inclined to err on the side of saying, "Hey, we met when I briefly dated X" or whatever. That way, on the off chance, he will feel weird about it, it's out in the open before you have a date.

I bet he knows.  I mean, go on and go to the date.  Then remind him.  But that guy let you go, so I wouldn't worry about it much in this case, but hanging out could be awkward.

He probably knows but what's the big deal?  Just go on the date and HAVE FUN and don't make a big deal about it.

Oh, let him pay for the dinner😀

Either way it goes, he's going to hit up his boy for his take. That's to be expected.
