ADHD spurred me into emailing a paleontologist at 3 AM about the pronunciation of Troodon. She replied on her personal e-mail, and we chatted until the sun came up. Tonight, I realized she was flirting with me the entire time. Man.
("Troh-oh-don" by the way)

Paleontologists can appreciate digging up something from long ago to look at it in detail.

I have been there a few times.

I had a conversation with a girl about friends with benefits (a conversation that she initiated) while I was staying at her place with no one else there. Took me a decade to realise.

Email her. Get in contact. If unavailable or taken, it wasn’t meant to be. No worries my dude. We gotta learn somehow.

Took you half a decade to catch on? Or did you know the whole time?
WireWynaut
The former

Our gender is so hopeless at times, but as she's a scientist who excels in archaic history, you could use that to your advantage and re-reconnect with a well crafted pun, if you wanted to.

Please, no puns.

I'm genuinely, very strongly considering just sending her this meme as an attempt to reconnect.

Do it. If she's available that's the sort of thing that could really go over. I did something similar with a woman who, apparently, very obviously flirted with me for 2 years. Four years later I ran into her at a restaurant and said "Yeah, I'm an idiot, you were flirting with me, let me make it up to you." Dated for a while, still friends, it was good.
Kagenical
Do it, but preface it with something playful.
"It’s been forever; good thing you’re the expert, because I’m super rusty on reviving old fossils… like our previous conversation” - something like that.
Y'know, make it fun. I'll delete this if you choose to go through with it, but I've never regretted a single shot I've taken, trying to reconnect with someone important to me.
