Best Online Bingo

In February this year I had a lunch date with someone who'd contacted me online even though for both of us, it was great, she declined to take things forward, said "her feelings were such that she sees me as a friend". She genuinely wanted to keep in touch, and I in turn declined saying that its neater if we allow time to elapse. Of course, I did this thinking that we'd never cross paths ever again, and at the time, that's what I wanted because I was disappointed that someone with whom I'd had so many things in common, and a conversation full of laughter and flirting, had just ended there.

She writes me an email, after 8 months, saying "she came across an old email of mine, it made her smile", so "she doesn't know if it's right to email me" but "she's just writing to say Hi and to hope I'm happy".

What would you think?

I figure, she's done the round of online dating and discovered that maybe I wasn't so bad after all. Some of you may shoot me down for this, but I believe no-one gets back in touch with an ex or an old date, unless there's something up with their own lives. Most likely they're lonely.

Well I want to hear how some of you guys would play this. I have since written one short email back, fairly friendly and chatty, saying I could be doing a lot better, but adding something about the evening class I'm enjoying. Basically, kept it casual.

How would you try to see if there could be more to the situation than she's saying?
