How to connect with her after 10 years without making it weird?
Before I write anything, I like to disclose that this post is as objective as I can make it to be so please do not make assumptions about me that aren't written here and I am free to answer any questions.
So I (26M) live in a small conservative town, in my whole life I only really liked one gal, it was at least 10 years ago when I was in high school.
This girl was without a doubt the ideal match for me(and if I am to be a bit arrogant I am a real good match for her).
What makes me say so is the fact that we share a lot of interest, we are both leftists/liberals in a conservative town, we both nerds and our convos used to be really interesting.
We lost contact exactly exactly after 3eme, now last I heard she's working as an English teacher while I moved abroad.
I genuinely fell for her so hard back in the day and wanted to tell her how I feel but she was cold toward me so I decided to not declare my feelings out of self respect.
Recently I came across her socials and sent her a Facebook request, and I genuinely would love to connect back with her and see where it leads without making it weird and that's my question. I already sent her a friend request on Facebook and also found her LinkedIn.
So girls, if you were in her place how would you like it to happen?
Lastly, I would like y'all to know that this is pretty much the only good match in my town and I mean it because there's no way that I would end up without Someone with my background other than her because the rest have nothing in common with me.
