Question 148 (for Piratmas)

posted 25 Sep 2012, 03:43
So my computer wouldn't connect all day again because of OpenDNS. Shit's pissing me off. Anyways, let's get onto today's topic.

So an ex-girlfriend contacted me through facebook recently. We haven't talked since I left for the Grand Canyon in Arizona to live and work for a year back in 05'. She's already asking me to go out and do something with her, and I can already see where this is heading. I haven't been in a relationship in over 2 years, and I aim to keep it that way. It's not like I don't go on dates, but I just keep things casual. At this point in my life, well, I just don't want to fucking deal with the bullshit.

Don't get me wrong, being in a committed relationship is great, for about 6 months, then it practically becomes like a chore. Ugh, no more for me. Going to take someone pretty damn special to land this fish to themselves.

So, on to the question.....


Have you ever dated another person again after a good deal of time apart? And how did it turn out the second time around?

Been there, done that, Jim. Was with a girl for 5 years, split up and never saw eachother for 4 years, met again and got back together. It was a total disaster, after a few weeks of great sex we both realised why we had split up in the first place. Me, because I could still see she was a life sucking vampire. Her, because she could still see I was selfish and didnt really care.
I would never say dont do it though - the sex was fucking awesome for those two weeks.

The street walkers here wear different clothes everyday, so it is like we meet each other again, day after day after day.......

Went out with a girl for 3 years, got engaged, fell out 4 months later. Met up again 2 years after that and now we've been together 11 years, married for 4.

If Its not working the 1 time it would never work the 2nd or the 100d time.. But that depends on the reason why you break up also, if its lame then it may work. But I personally learned that it will never work the other times ..

Yes ... When I was 18 yrs old, I had a boyfriend who I was absolutely crazy about (too young to call it love, although I thought so at the time) After a few months, and a lot of cheating which I found out about later, we broke up, and I was heartbroken, but we remained friends, and then eventually lost touch within a year ... fast forward two years later, I am just arriving back to New York after a weekend road trip with the girls, and we ran into my ex later that night in a club. The crazy thing is, just minutes before encountering my ex, my girlfriend randomly brought him up and implied that I had not gotten over him, which of course I proudly disagreed with.
.
Longer story short, my ex asked me out again, and I reluctantly accepted. Things were very different this time around. I was coming into my own, and had no storage of guys to date, but low and behold this time it's my ex who is over the moon for me .... very unexpected, and not necessarily welcomed. I really didn't want a boyfriend at the time, but I was extremely flattered by how gaga he was for me this time, and eventually I caved in and got back with him.
.
At first I think I was just loving the fact that the tables had appeared to turn, but I liked him enough, and we continued on with a relationship that lead to marriage 1 1/2 later ... It was not a happy marriage for me, I felt like I was too young, and could do much better a lone, so after 6 months I left him. He tried several times within the next year to reconcile with me. I briefly went back, only to end up leaving him again because the truth is I just didn't love him, and I hated "married life". To this day it is not anything I am remotely interested in.
.
The Moral of my story is ... Don't ever go back! I wasted a good two years of my life with someone whom I wasn't at all in Love with. I think I subconsciously wanted him to know what it felt like to Love someone, and ultimately NOT love you back. I very much regret marrying him, and wish I had just casually dated him until that fizzled out, because it was destined to do so.
.
It doesn't sound like you love your ex, or relationships, so I say RUN BROTHA, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! You may hurt her now, but it will help her later wink If getting involved was in anyway the "right thing to do", you would not have written this blog ... just sayin biggrin

@ queenamanda1349 since when does not being married = being a ho? shocked Being single, and a self respecting Woman who keeps her legs closed are not mutually exclusive realities... Was that you way of saying that you didn't want to be married, yet also wanted to have a sexual relationship without skanky one night stand scenarios?

Yes, I dated a girl for 3 years. We broke up, then after a few months I dated her for a couple more months.
It was not very good the second time. Bad memories were frequently brought up making the relationship hard to work the second time around.
