A few days ago I made this thread. It got moved to the friendship section.

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?

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.

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.
