This is not a Tinder question, haha. A couple years back, I was in a rough spot in my life and flaked on date with someone I was talking to online. I had asked her out, she said yes, but we had no concrete plans beyond that. I'm on another dating website now, we've both looked at each other's profiles and I was wondering what a good opener would be, since it has been awhile.

Why even act like you know her?... Just hit her up and pretend the last time around never happened.

Maybe she won't remembner... If she asks about it just make some shit up.

It's just one girl... Open many others.

One complication. We went to high school together and reconnected through online dating.

I still see no reason to treat it any differently than any other girl you maybe went to school with or whatever. It's not like either of you were injured by your failure to meet up the last time around.

It's a 2 way street. She could have re-contacted you if she really wanted to meet up a few years ago.

I'll preface this with the fact that my in-person game is sub-par, but I do well with any medium in which I can lead with my words.

This is a simple fix. Find something in her profile that allows you to say something funny and light-hearted. Act like nothing happened. She will look to you for how to feel about the situation. Show her that she should feel at-ease. Make everything a joke. "God, you look just like this girl I went to high school with ;)"

If you're not comfortable with that, consider the possibility of reframing the situation. Often, whenever I'm doing something obnoxious, I just retell the narrative with the roles switched. If I'm hitting on a girl and it's failing, when someone walks up, I nonchalantly make fun of her. "Yeah, not bad ... I mean, other than this girl and all her corny lines. It's evident that she wants to get into my pants but has no game." To make sure everyone knows that I'm joking, I am usually a little bit larger than life in my delivery. Wink wink, nudge nudge kind of thing.

Similarly, if you are confident that you're the one who blew her off, consider the option of playfully role playing that she blew you off, and your delicate sensibilities were offended by the very notion. You tried to go back to the store to return the flowers, but they had a no-return policy and everyone in the store laughed at you. Great, I hope you're happy. Now I have to drive 20 minutes to get my groceries because I can't show my face at the Wholefoods by my house. THE HUMANITY!!!!

start one just like how you normally would - let her bring it up first

I always found it more difficult to open online than opening at a bar.
