lucy_in_disguise Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 A few days ago I made this thread. It got moved to the friendship section. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/platonic/friendship/452943-we-friends To summarize, I've been talking to my ex from 10 years ago for a couple of months. We live far apart, so it's just phone convos. Mostly, it's been platonic, even though I still have feelings for him. We talked briefly about dating again, but he was in a relationship (of several years; not living together). Today he told me he ended it. We talked about seeing each other. Now, normally I would be wary... rebound and all. But in this case... I got out of my own marriage-headed relationship a few months ago, based partly on my unresolved feelings for this guy. If there is a chance the stars have finally aligned for us to be together, I feel like I need to take it. Any tips for dating someone recently single?
nomadic_butterfly Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Any tips for dating someone recently single? Don't do it. Doesn't matter that you dated before; a lot can change in a decade and the wounds are still fresh. Why would you want to be a rebound girl? Stay friends, let him heal and it due time maybe you can explore a relationship but it's way too soon for him to give his heart to someone else. He needs to process and grieve his just ended relationship.
Author lucy_in_disguise Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 To clarify, I'm not talking about jumping straight into a relationship with him... as I said, we live across the country from each other, so whatever happened, it would have to progress slowly.
