Hey guys, a couple months ago I went on a date with a girl and she was cool & cute. She went to another country for a few months though and now she's back. I've been seeing other women since she left but I do still want to make her a plate.

What's the best way to approach this without sounding like I was sitting around waiting for her to return (because I wasn't)?

On the other hand, I've already wasted enough time thinking about this, maybe I should just forget her?
