nmk615 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I dated my ex when I was 19 until I was about 21. And then for a few of months a year or two later. I am 28, he is 30 now. This relationship was the best one I have had. We were truly best friends AND had a romantic relationship. Through the years I have always missed him and the relationship I had with him, wishing I had met him more recently and things would be different. I am not blind to our past issues. Many were from being immature, but a few were not (EX: his smoking cigarettes). Neither of us cheated, he was not physically abusive. Recently, we got back in touch. We hung out casually and had a great time. He has been asking to take me out on a date. I have mixed feelings. I crave the bond we had, and I know the flame is still there, but I am concerned that it will not work out. I do not want to break up in 6 months or a year and be back to where I am now, except older lol. I know it can happen with any relationship, but is there a bigger chance with an ex? So...do I accept the date, see how it goes? Afterwards, if I still have the same feelings, talk to him about my concerns? What do I do? -Thanks in advance:love:
Mrlonelyone Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 There is a forum specifically for talking about "second chances". Sometimes they work out sometimes they don't. There are stories of people who dated, were separated for 10 20 30 years who finally got married and lived happily for many years if not until the end. Take a chance on him. A total stranger offers both a fresh slate and fresh unknowns. While the slate isn't exactly clean with an EX, after many years the issues may have cleared up.
Author nmk615 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 I posted this there too, but if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it
Sarah92 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Go for it. Life is too short for regrets! If you missed this chance, you will always question about the what ifs if you really dated him again.
