    It depends on how much time has passed since the breakup. If it's only been a year or 2, I wouldn't ever do it. But if it's been a long time and assuming you've both grown up since then, I don't see a problem with it.

    Of course, every situation is different.

    Depends on how bad the incident was...People mature over time and I'd do it...but again, it depends...Besides, you don't want to be "Just Friends"

    As tack and cliche'ed as it sounds (and I feel nauseated just typing it) listen to your heart.

    Most of us here are good meaning but a bunch of dorks on the internet can't and shouldn't tell you who you should date. From what it sounds like in you posts you've already made a decision and are just looking for comments that will help you justify it.

    Amen, most people here seem pretty ****ed up in one way or another. I wouldn't trust very many people here :)

    But just think about the goods and bads that happened before and make a judgement call. But it sounds like you want to, so just go with it.

    I did do this once..went back out with a girl that I had dated for a couple of months. She broke up with me because she liked someone else (she was pretty much using me to make him jealous) - about a year went by and she called me up. I went out with her for about 2 months but the same problems were there and I broke up with her. We then started going out for a THIRD time but with the understanding that we were going out as friends. After meeting my wife, that little relationship went bye bye, LOL. I would be skeptical about it working out for you, OS but you sound like you have already made up your mind to do this so you might as well go for it.

    This thread reminds me of this little obscure trivia fact - yesterday, the wife and me were watching "Nine to Five" and the great actor, Sterling Hayden, appears at the end of the movie as Russell Tinsworthy. Looked him up on the Internet Movie Database today and found out that he was married THREE SEPARATE times to the same woman! Can you imagine divorcing the same person not once, not twice, but three times??!! Too bad he is dead because he would be a good person to ask about this topic, heh. :p ;)

    It sounds like the thing that broke you guys up had nothing to do with your relationship.

    I see no reason why you shouldn't give it a second chance! :)

    funny, i thought about this recently too.

    and the more i think about it, the more i think - if it ended for a reason, then there's no running away from that reason. that memory will always be there and it'll re-surface at some point.

    that being said, emotionally, i don't know if you can fight it. we're just weak like that.

    i had lunch with "this person" (yes atrain.. "this person". not sure if the bus stop stalkers know or not, but now they do) earlier today. rather emotional, but "it" is still there without a doubt.

    i'm going for it and from the looks of it he is too. at the very least, all that i can gain (not lose... it's impossible) is a friend. can never have too many of those. esp, one that you can trust/love from the bottom of your heart.

    it would just seem to awkward for "this person" to be only a friend.

    edit... thx, all of you and chong li (macalu... heheheh). still dig the killer crossover that you showed in the games.

    This is probably the funniest post I've ever read on this forum. :D

    Old news for me, just so you know. Never made a difference, never will.

    As for the topic...I say go for it. When two people have to go their separate ways based on uncontrollable circumstances, I would always encourage them to give things a shot again. Just never try to get back with someone that cheated on your or treated you like **** in general. Other things can be worked out, I think. At least they'd be worth trying in most cases.

    Good luck.

    I'm down.

    Some of the guys that are now on the team at my old high school have been frequenting the park near my house lately. That's pretty much all the action I've seen in a while though. Could use some new competition. And I do mean "use" :p

    I dated my current gf twice in college (each time about 2-3 months) and now this third time we've been going for 3.5 years.

    Usually I would say it doesn't work out with an ex --- people are too prone to 'change' one another in relationships.. but sometimes additional maturity (and in my case, a couple of times around the dating scenes) is worth it.
