<human>: Essentially what happened is 6 months ago I was dating this girl, she was fantastic, had a lot of fun, really looked to go the distance.  The only issue was that I met her at a time when I was unemployed and becoming severely depressed.  We had only been dating for about a month or so and I decided to end it.  It was really a matter of I was not in the right place mentally for a relationship and felt that I was dating her for the wrong reasons(to cheer me up and fill a void rather than find someone I truly care about).

So now, about 7 months later I've started dating again... I have a factory job that pays well that I actually like, I'm 9 units away from my bachelors degree and generally I'm back to my usual self... back to the person **I** like.

So now the question is how to approach this, I've still got her number.  She has a facebook but I'm not friended to her... but either way I can get in contact.  Should I be direct and basically just tell her that I'd really like to date her again?  or should I try to explain the situation of what was happening with me at the time?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Ended a short(but nice) relationship with a girl due to personal problems.  Now would like to rekindle such relationship(as I've solved the personal problems), but not sure how to approach.
