So i've know this girl since our freshman year of high school, we used to have an English class together and every day we would just talk the entire class about our families and our lives etc and we basically got to be really good friends. Come Sophomore year i confessed that i liked her over the phone and asked if she wanted to be my girlfriend (subtle i know) and she for some reason said yes. But back in those days i was a timid/wussy kid who got bullied and harrassed at school a lot and for some reason the next day when i saw her walking towards me from across the quad all the responsibilities of being a boyfriend just freaked me out and i started ignoring her.

Fast forward a bit we graduated and i thought i'd never see or hear from her ever again, we were facebook friends and i did send her an awkward message asking what shes doing with her life these days etc but she just gave vague answers and the conversation petered out and i was fine with that. Then just the other day i was looking through my yearbook and i saw her and i remembered how pretty she looked and how funny and just plain awesome she was so i looked up her status and shes single! I really want to message her and ask for another chance but its been probably 3 years since i talked to her in person, 2 years via internet and i don't want to come off as a stalker guy, any ideas?

TLDR; asked girl out, ignored her cuz i was a pussy. now i'm grown up and want a second chance, how do i make it not super awkward?
