Contacting an old fling after a relationship

[Hurrican]

Hello,

 

i'm newly single after a relationship of 6 months, in which my girlfriend (and former best friend) turned out to be in touch with her ex behind my back, and when i found out and told her that it hurt me, she turned my life into a hell and started spreading that i was a control freak.

That being said and done (i used my head and left, even though i love her), i am now trying to get over her, and rebuilding a fully active social life.

 

I once ended up kissing a cute and fun girl i met at a party. My now-ex got infuriated by that, and started "seducing" me the weeks after.

The fun girl turned out to be amazing, but she was still very hurt by a previous relationship, in which she was sadly dumped without an explanation. She was honest about that very soon, so the chances of that becoming anything died quickly. I still liked her though, and kept in touch. But once i got together with my now-ex, that became a problem: she wasn't exactly fond of her. So i didn't engage in any conversations anymore, the girl didn't as well, and it pretty much died out.

 

 

I recently saw her name passing by on a schedule, and i instantly felt sad about "dropping" her like that. I know that i don't want to try and have a relationship anytime soon, but i do want to get to know her better. But how do i engage contact? And how do i not appear to be recontacting her because i'm recently single, in a creepy way?

Why are you bothering the cute girl while you are still in love with your ex? Cute girl sounds interesting and fun and like she has long-term potential and you just want to use her to get over your new ex. Why don't you instead try being by yourself and getting better and THEN approach cute girl?
