Why and why not

Instinctively, I would say NO.

Seems like the typical game player. Would depend on the details of course. Is he trying to 'get you back' or just 'hitting you up' for friendship's sake?

Too vague of a scenario to really give you advice.

I would take my ex back, on the mail, in small packages, in pieces.

It completely depends on the situation, and the guys personality. If he is flirty and using you, then no. If you are still into him, and he tells you he made a mistake, and you belive he is being genuine and honest, then possibly. My last relationship was really hard to get over. However, now I am.

My ex showed up uninvited at my sisters grad party a week and a half ago, asking if I still had feelings for him. I told him no and we have to move on. If this was three months ago, I probably would have said yes. However in the last three months I met a great guy and I'm in a relationship sooo, I have moved on. My ex is a really great guy, I don't harbor any anger towards him, he has his faults and so do I, but, break-ups tend to happen for a reason.

It does depend, I know people who married, divorced, but then got together again. And happily, so far. Sometimes people can be "right" for each other, just not at that particular moment.

But personally, no. I could be friends, but other than that they fulfilled what I wanted out of a relationship then but not now. Sometimes I've thought about if I miss it, but then I realize that I'm just thinking back to those moments; which essentially needs to be taken in context of what kind of person I was then.

Something I've found: men in general, never forget and seldom forgive. Maybe you're the exception.

No. We broke up for a reason and don't see myself rehashing the same old things I've already been through.

I won't lie and say I never hooked up with one of my exes, though

Depends on the couple. One of my best friends finally got back together with the girl he's meant to be with. Some maturation and personal growth needed to happen. We're all happy they're back together, but there was no guarantee. They probably needed the time.

So it does happen. Rare though.

no

if the reasons for his breaking it all off are unchanged why would you even consider it?

I can be friendly towards my ex. Not sure I would want to be friends. To answer your question, no I would not take him back. If he ended it once, he will end it again. If you ended it, what is to stop you from ending it again? Every situation is different, every guy is different but in general a relationship ends for not just one reason. What changed? Take it as a learning experience and move on.

99% sure I wouldn't, but it would depend why we broke up in the first place really. If nothing has changed and the core reason why he broke up with me hadn't actually been addressed then we would only be getting on this dysfunctional merry go round again. If he just wanted new dick and it didn't work out then any guy worth an ounce of perception would figure it out and kick him back to the curb.

I could never allow him too deeply into my emotions because I can't believe what he says. He has proven himself to be a master manipulator and deceptive.

Absolutely not.

No. We are still good friends, but we didn't work as boyfriends.
