I have been kinda mooning over someone I dated about 10 years ago. He stopped seeing me after he realized he didn't want what I wanted. We both moved on. My wants have changed. How many of you would try to get in touch with someone from your past?

I've never done it but why not? I read/hear of, quite often, people that dated when they were young then look each other up, hook up, get together and live happily ever after. (Sorry old MB, it ain't NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!)

I'd take the chance, though I hate to be disappointed. For example...Girl I used to have the hots for bigtime in high school, super cute, super hot body, but had a BF (who later turned out to be one of my best friends), is about 400 pounds and married a dick. Next example I went Facebook stalking some other girls I knew, another one I was really interested in at the time, and figured she might be a lil kinky, looked her up...Turns out she dropped dead last summer. Just a little bit depressing..

My rekindling was a huge mistake. An ex is an ex for a reason!

I got in touch with some guys in the past...IMO it always depends on the situation why you parted or didn't move on together in the past...if there weren't serious harm done then I'd get in touch...

SoulAlloy -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/9/2012 3:09:54 PM)
I would and have, I always find this is one of those things you regret not doing... As long as it's not just loneliness talking...

Not me. For me when it's over, it's over. I guess if you feel you have changed so much that you now feel you are more aligned with him then I guess you could contact him but don't be surprised if you find out he's changed drastically as well and maybe not in the same direction as you.

5 out of 8 say yes. I'm still on the fence!

ShaharThorne -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/10/2012 6:16:56 AM)
Not interested. I looked up an old fiance and found out he died in a drunk driver accident. I did weep because he was a nice guy but his mother had to carry the burden of caring for the preemie son that was born due to the accident until he died as well. The accident got nation wide coverage I believe. Afterwards, I refuse to look up old loves. They are a part of my past and that is where they stay...in the past.

Well, for example, if you wanted kids and he didn't but you were otherwise in sync and now you no longer want kids, sure, go for it. /Runs off to cyber stalk various men from my teens/ aaaaaaaaaaa [image]http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/release/sites/default/files/imagecache/670xX/photos/noltemug.jpg[/image]

Well I see my ex is still in the house we bought in 1993 and is still (re) married. I couldn't find any of the guys that first popped to mind on FaceBook and am not really curious enough to do a more intensive search. I see my former neighbor is still in the USAF. He started off enlisted but went to OTC, was a Captain when last we connected 11 years ago and is now a Major. Good for him!

needlesandpins -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/10/2012 10:45:17 AM)
not for me. i have ended all but two of my relationships and i ended them for good reasons. as for the other two, they cheated on me and can fuck right off for the rest of time. the love of my life died ten years ago last month and i still regret saying no to him at the time, but i did that for good reasons too. i'm happy with what i have right now though. i get to look at this guy while he's fucking me and think 'god he's gorgeous' and that is something i'm never going to think about any of my ex's. it's not everything that matters, but i really like having that. he's sexier, knows how to get me going, i trust him, i sub to him when i wouldn't for anyone else, he does things no-one else ever has and inspires things in me that i never thought anyone could. no ex of mine is any match for that lol needles

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/10/2012 4:53:23 PM)
There is one person that I would never get involved with again, but I do want to reconnect with. Possibly to punch him in the throat. No one else. Over is over.

Hillwilliam -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/10/2012 5:13:57 PM)
I say go for it. Either you'll confirm that he's an ex for a reason or things will work out or you won't find him but at least you won't go thru life wondering "What if?"

Lucifyre -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/10/2012 6:10:02 PM)
I have 1 ex that if I weren't happily married I would possibly look him up. My problem is I knew him when I was young and thin and confident and now I'm well, not LOL. I suppose after my boob job and tummy tuck I might consider it and if he turned out to be a douchebag I could always get the satisfaction that I am now wiser and mature and successful. Then again, I've already promised my best friend that if my Mr passes away before me we are going to exchange nuptuals...even if we are old and wrinkley by then haha!

DesFIP -> RE: Would You Take the Chance? (4/13/2012 9:03:58 AM)
If you're looking them up because you want a relationship, then no. If you would be just as happy chatting as friends, even if he was now happily married with children and just wants to brag about his kids to you, then yes. If you can't be friends and sincerely happy for them as is, then that doesn't seem like a good basis for a relationship. Liking someone as a friend is a requirement for me before I can get involved. It also helps the relationship last when you sincerely enjoy each other's company even on days when you would cheerfully throttle them.
