I have a guy that I dated and broke up with about 3 years ago. He's now calling again really pushing to renew the relationship. Anyone dating an old boyfriend that has suddenly popped back into your life? Does it really have any chance of working if it didn't work the first time?

Ooh, you're good to be thinking this over.

I started dating an old boyfriend again after a break. I was pretty crazy about him and his breaking it off was hard. We got back together without me making him have the hard conversation about what was going to be different this time.

It was good for awhile and then, same thing so I broke it off. I had to go through another, even bigger heartbreak because this time I knew it wasn't ever going to work.

If it was a timing thing for you two, maybe it's fine. If it was a structural thing that requires one or both of you to make significant behavioral changes, slow down and think hard would be my advice. Proceed cautiously if you decide to go ahead.

I just learned that it's best to have the hard conversation up front about what has changed and that will make it work this time. I think it could work but best to know up front what he's thinking.

Thanks for the insight - excellent advice. It's so easy to get caught up in the moment without seriously figuring out what went wrong the first time. Obviously there are/were issues that should be addressed and then proceed with caution - or not!

You know what we've gone through the same experience. My boyfriend and I had a long relationship but we broke-up after he have cheated on me. And now, he came back. At first I don’t like to pursue what we had however I felt that I still love him despite of what happened to us. We are now together again and planning to get married soon. I think if you still love the guy, don’t be afraid to show him but if not, and you are not happy anymore with him, and then tell him. Maybe there is much better future awaiting for both of you.

A possible reason why we want our ex back is that the chemistry between you two is so strong that you cannot find someone whom you "click" so much with anymore. It can also be that the person is someone who touched your life so much and so deeply that you just couldn't forget about her, no matter how you try.

Although dating etiquette has become more relaxed during the twentieth and twenty first century, there are considerable differences between social and personal values. For example, when an activity costs money (for example, a meal), traditionally the man was expected to pay; but in recent times the practice of "going Dutch" (splitting the expenses) has become more common and more acceptable.
