Last month I often think about my former classmate and realize that my interest in him has awakened. In 10-11th grade he was hitting on me, and I blew him off. After graduation there were attempts from his side, again I blew him off. Now we're in our 30s. I'm single and he doesn't have a girlfriend. We both have good jobs. We communicate with him sometimes in the format of “Happy Birthday, Happy New Year”. I want to write him and initiate communication, but I don't know how. I think he got used to me blowing him off a long time ago and sees me now only as a friend. He might think I'm writing to him as a friend. I do not want to run after him, I want to give him the green light, and then his initiative. What can I write to a guy to understand whether I am interesting to him as a girl? I will be grateful for your advice!
