Would you pursue a potential long distance relationship with an ex from high-school (adults now)?

Question

I had a boyfriend in high school who I dumped, stupidly. But he moved on and so did I. I recently met up with him again on the phone. He lives about 24 hours away from me know, but our discussions are so intimate. Are we playing on old feelings that are fun now, or could there be something there? I still love him, always will, but is this a bad idea? We are both divorced, no kids, just live in separate states.

Answer 1

Do you feel like you could handle a long distance relationship? Could he? Maybe you guys could be really great friends who really know one another. Sometimes the distance can be an aphrodisiac, you know, the fantasy of it all. Just make sure you know what you want from him.

Answer 2

If you are divorced and in separate states, and no kids are involved, what do you have to lose? I say go for it, you never know until you try. Who knows this 're-kindling' may have happened for a reason? I hope you follow your heart.

Answer 3

wish the girl i used to like fealt the same way :S i told her i loved her n she tripped out like a b!t ch ...im ugly as fu k anyway so i saw tht coming......

Answer 4

There are a few romantic situations which, when they start out, are obviously good ideas, or obviously bad ideas. Most beginning romantic situations fall somewhere in-between.

Don't let anyone tell you this is obviously a bad idea. Whether or not it is has nothing to do with the distance, or your age, or how long it's been since you dated, or even that you have previously dated. It does have to do with things such as where you are in life, who you have become, what sort of expectations you have, what baggage you carry from your previous marriages and subsequent divorces, etc. Only you and he can answer those questions, as well as the question as to whether or not you have genuine feelings for each other now. However, being an adult, I am sure (or would at least hope) that you know the difference now between infatuation and genuine feelings.

If you feel that your feelings are genuine, of course I would pursue it. You are clearly excited. Unless there is good reason to doubt your compatibility for such important reasons as the ones I mentioned above, or some like them, why wouldn't you?
