Guys .. what do you think about a past relationship?

Would you still be interested in a past relationship?

I ran into an old boyfriend the other day. We dated in high school for a short while but then moved on and went our separate ways. He and I have both been married and have gone through messed up divorces and he ask for my number so I gave it to him.

He hasn't called yet, been it's been three days now. Is there any chance he might still be interested or was he just getting my number as a friendly gesture? Do you think past relationships can be rekindled after several years of growth?

If it has been three days and he hasn't called yet he may have just done it as a friendly gesture. I wouldn't stop my life waiting. However, I do believe that past relationships can be rekindled. The only thing is that since you guys were in high school when you were dating and are now a lot older and have both been married you two more than likely have done quite a bit of changing and are different - Life, marriage, etc can change who you have grown into.

So I wouldn't sit by the phone waiting but if it happens then just go with the flow. Anything could happen. But just don't expect the relationship to be the same as high school...

What you have in an old relationship like that, is really a NEW relationship with very old introductions. At least that's the best way to try to think of it.

I've seen a number of people couple up under such circumstances, some do very well together, others don't, just as in any relationship. It's important to be wary of your past impression of and thoughts about the person interfering with your current dealings with them. One of my brothers hooked up with an old flame after his first divorce, thinking things like "destiny!" Within a few months, it was divorce time again.

Best recommendation I can give you is, don't think of it as "rekindling." Take care that you keep your head about you, don't get your hopes up too high, make no assumptions about anything.
