Heroic Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 We all have a past and we all have people of the opposite sex that we have connected with or almost connected with. My wife works with social media so I got drug into facebook. I have been able to reconnect with a lot of old friends and have initiated some friendships with people in their circles that I never had the chance to meet in person. But here lies the problem, within 3 months 5 women from my past have contacted me. All of them were gals that were close at one time. It's pretty obvious that each of them are looking at some level for an escape route from their current relationships. People tend gravitate to those what if moments, to that guy or girl that got away. I'm not tempted. I know why each and every one of those relationships did not work. I just never expected that those what if girls would come back into my life. Be careful out there people, your past is just one click away.
PandorasBox Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Wow 5 that are are looking for an escape, and have gotten connected back to you! Its good you've reconized that sometimes friend connections can become more than what they started off to be. Even if these 5 are trying to escape and are hoping to find that escape with you, its up to you if you allow that to happen or go further. Its good you are aware of this.
Author Heroic Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 I was the back up guy, the good stable guy not the "dangerous type". Guess the jerk quality gets old after a while.
JaneInVegas Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Ditto for me. Several months ago I was flattered (but NOT tempted) by an old flame from my early 20's. I was very surprised by some of the things he said to me (especially considering it's been about 25 years since we've had any form of communication at all) and was about to say, "Well now, Randy, it's been nice catching up and all, but ..." and then I found out he had just been kicked out of his house by his wife of over 20 years, and was living in a Budget Suites somewhere. So yeah, suddenly it made sense - he was just trying to fill that empty hole inside of himself. I love the web, I love being able to find people so easily, and how communication is now so wonderfully easy. But it's also a very dangerous place to be, and everyone needs to be careful before it takes them somewhere they really don't want or need to go!
