Should I ask again?

This is gonna sound so high school but I don’t date much so I think I need to consult the council 😂
A few months ago I asked if this person I’d known for a few years if they’d like to get a drink sometime. They said they’d feel guilty because they were so busy with work that they wouldn’t be able to commit to someone in that way, so fair enough.

We got around to talking again recently and they mentioned how hard it was dating for them lately, how it’s hard dating online because you can’t really get a good read of a person over text.

I’m wondering if it’s worth asking them if they want to get a drink again – they seem to be in a less stressful situation if they’re trying dating again. And what would I say in a follow up ask-out?
