<human>: Hello, 

I am a 24 year old male who recently ended a long term( 5 year plus) relationship. I'm in my home town. Looking to get back into the dating world at least casually. I don't really like to go to clubs, bars or drinking. 

Plot Twist: I'm fairly good looking, have a good sense of humor and have well nice social skills. 

My situation is essentially one where I think I would do reasonably well once I had met someone that I was interested in. 

But how do I meet these new ladies? 

Obviously I'll be trying to go out more to events etc, however I have two specific questions with regards to other strategies. 

First -  what is the best way to approach an introduction / reintroduction if a digital arena is your only option? Striking up a conversation seems the most aggressive reasonable option, more reasonable than asking to meet or something like that.  Another thought would be to invite them to an event I'll be attending. Thoughts? Keep in mind these aren't long lost friends but more like girl from another high school who I met briefly years ago, is cute, local and have friends in common. 

Second. I've thought about using some sort of online dating service, but am a little worried that I might find a certain type of person... My prejudice is showing I know. I guess I get this strange feeling that girls I have dated and enjoyed being with in the past would never use online dating, making me wonder if it is a good option for me.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: 1. If you are Facebook friends with someone you met awhile ago and don't really know is it weird to strike up a conversation online?
