IOW, the following two situations would be different:
(1) I had been dating what's-her-name for some number of months/years, then about 4 years ago I moved away/she moved away/we broke up, and I've seen this girl twice in the last four years, and maybe spoken ten words to her.
(2) About 4 years ago I ran into <aunt> walking down the sidewalk, and she introduced me to <niece> who was with her. I've seen this girl twice in the last four years, and maybe spoken ten words to her.
First of all: how in the world could you write a good e-mail? "Oh your aunt said you were lonely and your life pitiful, she thought us hooking up would be good for both of us!"Obviously the answers to these questions depend strongly on which scenario above best describes the history of the "relationship". (IOW, is there even a "relationship" or a "history"?)
Let's say I do come up with an okay e-mail, would any of you ladies react favorably receiving a cold-call message?
(The guys don't have to answer, I know that response)Is there any reason why you might like to take her out in person? (Other than that both of you are apparently available.)
Obviously a lot I'm leaving out. She lives far away. I'd rather do an e-mail then phone her, if I cannot take her out in person.

Funny, I was going to fill in the prior to four years part, but figured it was obvious. (Well of course it's obvious to me). No relationship before four years ago. I mean, I knew her, but just as so and so's daughter and she knows me as so and so's brother. That's what I meant by cold-call.
Trust me, there are about fifty girls from the past who if someone said, 'remember x? She's single/divorced/still-married-but-looking-to-fool-around/desperate and was asking about you', I'd be all over it. In fact last month I ran into a women I went to HS with, had been divorced and was asking about me a couple years ago. Not the right people obviously. She didn't know I live 15 miles from her. She's getting married in March. Make sure you twist the knife after you stick it in.
I'm single, she's single. She's smart, I understand the infield fly rule. She is very nice looking, I haven't been chased by an angry mob with pitchforks in at least nine years. She needs someone to support her and I'm okay with that as long as she can cook, clean, buy all the groceries, do the laundry, keep up with the yard work, raise the kids, keep herself in shape, and have a job that pays at least as much as mine does so she can have her own damn money.

What a catch I am!
