So, this guy i kind of had a little thing for asked me out a month ago. However, at the time i was seeing someone so i said "I'd love to but just as friends. I'm seeing someone right now" and he said "Yeah, that's not problem." Anyhow, as luck would have it (or maybe not so much) that little relationship i was in ended and after some given time, i'm still interested in going on a date with this other guy. However, how do i tell him that i'm not seeing anyone else and would love to go? I mean, without seeming like i'm just jumping from one guy to the next hahaha! I have an idea of how to do it but i'd like to know what you all think!

This is just my two cents worth, but just casually ask him out wo/bringing up the fact that you aren't seeing Joe Blow anymore.  Just ask him if he'd like to get together on such & such date.  See how it goes & just go from there.  The one thing you don't want to do on a date is talk about the person you were seeing before him.  And I wouldn't bring it up unless he asks. 

Good luck & keep us posted!

You could tell him that you really wanted to go out with him when he asked you out, but did not feel right doing it when you were seeing someone else.  Let him know you would like to have a second chance.  Honesty is probably the best way to proceed here.  If he is a decent guy he will respect you for it and will probably like you even more.

why dont you hang out together as friends first .. see if the chemistry is still there .. before you make any declarations of interest.  if the chemistry is still there .. then it will probably take off on its own .. with little effort from you.
