No, don't "take him away" from his group of friends - that would be awkward. Next time you walk passed him, just say "Hey man, how's it going? It's been a while..." Or if you both have Facebook (or some other social network site), add him and write it on there instead. You could maybe say something like, "It's been a while. What's new?" Try to catch up with him and if you eventually start talking again, maybe ask if he wants to hang out sometime or go for a couple of drinks (depending on how old you are). Then, once you two start talking again, try to somehow bring up the part about you not being friends and make a joke about how it was a misunderstanding. Just talk to him how you would talk to any random person. Show interest in another person's life and they will reciprocate. Just be yourself and don't overthink it. Most guys don't care about this kind of stuff. Just do it and don't give it a second thought. The more you worry about it, the more awkward it will be. And if after this he shows no interest in being your friend, then let it go.

Good luck!
