Would You Date An Ex Again?

Say that you were in a relationship with someone and after you have gotten over the pain of the break-up, you start to have feelings for them again. Knowing that this person is the same one that you decided before that you did not want to be with, would you be willing to take a chance on them again? I have always had a rule about not going backwards, especially where intimate relationships are concerned. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Even though you have forgiven that person, would you be willing to be vulnerable and trust that person again?

I am with you on that one, but sometimes it seems so tempting to just go back once in a while, but it is easy to get caught up in the same mess again. It is like playing Russian Roulette with your heart, accept in this case you know what the outcome will most likely be.

Yup, you can easily get caught up in the excitement of doing it because you know you shouldnt, but you will only feel the same pain you felt before.

Maybe I would go as far as second time only, to give love another chance. They say it's lovelier the second time around right? If I start to have feelings for an ex then that means the reason of our break-up is still forgivable, and it wouldn't be too hard to love again.

I dont think so. coz if that was as intimate relation then i wont consider going back at all. Even if the feeling come again. I guess that will just be a compromise in life as to we dint got any new partner and so finally we are back to the same. I wont ever prefer to do that as to even if i go back then that grudge will always remain inside that once in my past that person had hurted me a lot. I hope you understand what i mean to say

I'm not so sure unless that person had. Changed and acted a lot different. My ex husband use to stay this same thing and what did he do go right back to his ex wife the one he use to say he hated. He even went to jail because of her. It's going to be funny if it happens again.
