So I rarely seek advice on here for relationship issues but I wanted to get some opinions. My ex g/f who I dated ten years ago recently contacted me out of the blue. I honestly am very happy to hear from her and I feel that she is the one that I could end up with, it's just a weird gut feeling I have. However she lives in another state and has children from another relationship. Neither issue is really a big deal IMO. However I wonder if she contacted me to re-kindle things. She is reluctant to express her feelings and I feel like I am putting in more effort then her with conversation and dropping hints. I am not sure if she is just busy on her end or just doesn't have feelings to express. How do I go about this? Do I just flat out ask her or should I feel her out and see what happens? Is there any hints any ladies in here would drop that would indicate something?

What did she say when she contacted you?

In my experience, it only takes a little while in their presence to remember why someone is your ex.

Not to be rude but it sounds like the clock is ticking. You dated her 10 years ago, she has kids...

I wouldn't waste any time with this. Ask her what made her reach out to you after 10 years after the break up. Tell her how you're feeling. Don't play the back and forth game. That's for new relationships. You guys have history.

@Wmens, we both left on mutual terms. She actually moved away which seemed like a big deal but isn't such a big deal now.

@Bish, I have kind of beat around the bush but we both talk about kids and marriage. My guess is that is her way of dropping hints. I feel its better to come out with it too.

How did she know that you were still single?

But what did SHE say when she contacted you?

Has it been 10 years since you've spoken?

They're probably Facebook friends.

Initially she didn't know until I told her when she just contacted me.

Well she asked me about my job and what not.

We have some how reconnected with each other every 3-4 years and she is always the one to find me.

Now that's interesting. Wonder if she hit up her other ex's.
