Is it wise to try to initiate something again?
Submitted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008
By Nostalgic, 28, from Canada:
I recently ran into an ex from long ago at a professional function and had a really nice time talking to him. It jogged my memory about how great he could be, and he also seemed happy to see me and even went out of his way to come over. Seeing him in this context really made me rethink the reasons why things ended between us (I was 22 and he was 27) and make me feel that it just came down to bad timing. I know that in the time since we dated, he has gotten married and (I believe) divorced or at least separated, and I have also just recently ended a very serious relationship. I also worry that he was just being himself since he is naturally a very easygoing person. Is it wise to try to initiate something again? (We don't work together.)
VictorM's advice:
Why not? I see no downside to it. It's impossible to tell how it will turn out but the most important point is that you'll remove the "what if?" from your mind, which by itself makes it all worth while. Go for it.
