I think you’re jumping the gun. Since you dated when you were 15 years old, for 8 months, and have been out of contact for 6 years now, it’s inappropriate to tell her you want a serious relationship. It’s too intense when you haven’t seen each other for 6 years now. What [i]is[/i] appropriate, however, is to start dating her, and to let her get to know you, and you, her. If you do start dating then she can get to figure out who you are NOW and if she can trust you again, and if the casual dating will lead to something more intense in the future. So slow down and ask her out for dinner and a movie — just for fun, and to get back together again for a date. Just a date.
I hope that helps. Let me know how things go. And join me @AskAprilcom on Twitter, and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
