<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Hey I could use your perspective: like most of you I am a student in college. I became good friends with a girl I met at uni. We went out a lot together and texted each other a lot. Overall, a normal friendship. 

Over our three year friendship I developed unwanted feelings for her. During this time she was in a long distant relationship so I never made a move on her. I assumed she had good taste in men and was dating a good guy, and I didn't think it was my place to try and ruin that. I was content to be her friend. 

She eventually broke up with her boyfriend. I tried to give her some time to deal with the break up but eventually I made my feelings clear toward her. She rejected me but stated that she'd like to remain friends. At this point the story probably sounds like a typical "friendzone" story on Reddit but I want to make it clear that I don't hold anything against her. It's not her fault for not finding me attractive and she had every right to reject me. Anyway, I tried to remain friends with her, because I still liked her as a person, but after two months the friendship became something I couldn't handle. I took Reddit's typical advice in a situation like this and I broke off ties with her. I told her I'd like to end our friendship. She said she understood but expressed interest that we should make contact in a year to keep in touch. I agreed. 

After a year with no contact had passed I contacted her to see how she was doing. We've been chatting back and forth since then, and now I kinda want to restart the friendship and go back to the way things were, and I'm thinking about telling her this. My question is, how would you feel if one of your ex male friends wanted to restart your friendship? What would you think? Would you be appalled? Glad? Am I stepping out of line?

Thank you for your input!
<bot>: I asked out a friend and got rejected. I broke off the friendship but a year has passed and I'd like to be friends again.
