As I soon endeavor to return to the dating pool after a hiatus lasting nearly 10 years, I have been remembering the hours and hours of time wasted on fruitless pursuits. (I know, we all have to take our lumps.)
Recently, I was reminded of one of the guys I had gone out with a few times who was particularly enamored, but due to scheduling conflicts (we both had active work schedules that rarely lined up) our relationship never went to the "next" level. This same individual tried to get back together with me a few years on but at the time I was struggling with serious issues at work and in my personal life as well, so we drifted apart again.
My question - has anyone sought out a past "potential" date/mate, several years later? How did it work out? Any thoughtful advice would be greatly appreciated.
Yes. My husband and I knew one another in high school and went on a couple dates. He changed schools and eventually moved. I started dating someone else for several years. He called me from time to time and see how I was. I worked in a nearby shop in college, and his father and sister were frequent customers. They'd tell me how he was doing, and I heard about his girlfriend. Then I heard he moved back to the area. About a year later, my boyfriend and I broke up. I got his old number out of a yearbook, spoke to his sister, and got his new number. He had told me once to call him if I was single again, so I did. It worked out.
I'd have considered trying for one old girlfriend of mine but she is married now. It's probably best that way
I thought you liked married girls...
I'm a one and done kind of woman, no going back for any reason. If it didn't work once it is doubtful it will work a second time. I can only speak for myself though, others may find it different.

Yeah, I think for the most part that's the best way. It depends why you ended and for what reasons. I went back with the girl I was dating here after a short break and things worked out well.. but that wasn't so much of a failed relationship as much as it was her in a bad time.
If you're with someone for a while and all you do is fight at the end and want to kill eachother.. it's usually for reasons that are basically not fixable.
