Hi,
I am hoping someone can provide some advice.
I recently found out an ex-colleague whom I like is newly single, and I'd like to get in touch with her, and ask her out. We no longer work in the same company and our paths rarely cross. The last time was 3 years ago at an ex-colleagues funeral (when she was in a relationship). Anyway, I was thinking of sending her the text below. Does this come across as desperate, creepy or will it scare her off, or does it come across as a casual (not sexual) "lets meet" type of thing.
Note: I'm also on the spectrum, and find these things awkward at the best of time, and I have little confidence.
I also have little expectation of meeting her following the text below as she has 2 teenage kids which she will probably need to do stuff with on the day I'm suggesting.
Any constructive feedback is appreciated.
Text below.

Hi <insert name>,
Long time no speak - hope you are well.
I know this message is out of the blue however I'm going to be in <insert town where she lives> next Saturday as my car is undergoing some minor repairs at a local garage. Anyway I plan to pass the time waiting for the repairs to complete in Costa - so I dont look like "Billy No Mates" are you free to grab a coffee? No worries if not as I know its the weekend and I'm sure you've got a million and 1 things you need to do with the kids.
