<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

I used to work with a girl I had a thing for, but she was with a long-time boyfriend, so, naturally, I didn't do or say anything about it. About a year ago, I left that job and have only talked to her a few times via text. Anyway, in a couple weeks I'll be going to a party where I'll see her for the first time since I left that job and she just told me she broke up with her boyfriend (fiance at the time) a few months ago. So I'm wondering if I should sieze the opportunity and ask her out at the party, after we catch up and talk for a while. Also wondering the best way to go about it. I just don't want to seem like a creep who's been waiting out her relationship. I'm also afraid she just needs more time after breaking up with a guy she was with for so long. I just don't want to put her in an awkward position. Advice?
<bot>: going to be seeing an old crush (who, a couple months ago, broke off an engagement to her long-time boyfriend) after almost a year. Is asking her out the first night I see her in bad taste?
