You want to bake cookies and leave him your number.

Maybe you know just say hi start talking to him.
Get to know him a bit and see if you want more.

Keep it simple

Yes, I'm interested in dating him.

You don't know him!. You seem very desperate. The type of woman who has to have a man at all times to feel complete.

You're title is misleading and I think you know that most people would have no problem with two single adults dating.
But this isn't your situation.
This is a guy who was helpful once two years ago.
And you have already decided you're dating him despite having zero interaction with him since and not knowing if he's even single or interested.

The adult thing to do would be to say hi. Strike up a conversation.
The unstable thing to do is what you're doing creating a fantasy in your head that he's the perfect man and you're desperately in love and your relationship is destiny.

Seriously just freaking say hello and skip the cookies for now

I'd have to walk past his apartment/my old apartment a lot to run into him. LoL.

I have a dog. He doesn't. I hardly ever see him, unless he's driving in his car.

Where his apartment is situated is very quiet. I would really be going out of my way to walk by his apartment.

Maybe I'll see him at a resident event at the clubhouse.

Then, that to me would be somewhat awkward. He might feel I'm not respecting his privacy and stalking him.

I just thought I'd leave a note with my number saying, "It's your former neighbor. Give me a call sometime. I didn't get a chance to introduce myself when you moved in."

The last option is the only halfway adult approach. Meeting organically is far better.

To me, we did meet "organically" already when he moved across the hall from me and when he helped move some furniture. I just didn't catch his name. I had a BF at the time with me.

When I was moving out, I was dating someone. The man next door was a new neighbor. I don't think I even know his name. He saw me struggling with some furniture with the man I was dating, and he asked if he could help. He took over where I was trying to lift the furniture, and he helped moved the furniture in my ex BF's SUV.

I see him driving around occasionally. He drives a unique sports car with a unique retired vet license plate. I saw him months ago walking with a blonde haired woman, but other than that he's by himself.

We both look to be the same age.

I'm a woman. I'm thinking about leaving some Christmas cookies with a note with my number and a belated "thank you." Yes, it's been more than a year, but what could it hurt?

Does this sound like a terrible idea? He's a nice looking man, and I want to get to know him. I've not ever done anything like this before.

Is he a neighbor or not? What all the weird extra details? You seem unbalanced.

I don't think they are neighbors anymore. It sounds like op has created a fantasy that he's the one for her and is stalking him a bit
