Past Crush Help!

Okay! I need some help!
Just found my old crush on 'My Space' by chance.
Now, I had the biggest crush on him between the ages of 14-17 years old but I was too shy to ever talk to him or ask him out. I've got a boyfriend now who i'm very happy with but i'd love to message my old crush just to say hi and see if he remembers me and what he thought of me, etc. But what can I message him with without looking like a complete stalker? Help!

ETA: oh yeah, your bf. well, as long as the message you send is innocent and just friendly then you should be fine. i'd let him know what you're planning to do though.
That's maybe just me though.
I would actually emphatically advise against contacting him, but I suppose people would be split on this kind of thing. I'd be all for it if you were single but it just doesn't seem worth the potential hassle, you could really open a can of worms here. I suppose if you genuinely just want to say "hi" then it can't do any harm and you should go ahead. But if you're harbouring any (and I mean ANY, be truthful with yourself) "what ifs" in your head then I'd just steer well clear... and if you were infatuated with him for three years it's likely you may find old feelings pop back up - even if they're not even substantiated by meeting up etc. It's the old rose-tinted spectacles we all don when looking to the past - easier times, more fun, happy little crushes etc. It's totally understandable and I'm sure I'd be tempted to contact any old flames or old crushes I spotted on myspace - but I think I'd try my hardest to resist temptation...
I'd say stick in your happy relationship and let the ones that got away, stay away. But it's your call, at the end of the day.
I would leave it. its a bad idea if your seeing someone.
