  1. I found him attractive but most wouldn't. I am done crying about him though.
  2. True, especially if the guy is ugly and treated her like garbage. I dated a few bow wows and when they treated me like garbage that was it. When they came back I said no way. Incidentally the guy I want is on the homely side too so I wouldn't take him back unless he was nice to me again. No more crying over him.
  3. For some reason almost every guy I dated did. One guy in fact showed up many years later and last year (after 20 years of broken up) contacted me. I really think it depends why they broke up. The ones where it was amicably (this situation really was, it was long distance and that was the problem)tend to always want me back.
  4. Another one I remembered: Family friends split up (this is before I knew them) because he didn't want to get married. She moved out (they were dating) and they didn't speak for months. He finally realized he wanted to be with her and they got married within 6 months of that.
  5. I keep reading this thread and hoping this happens with the guy I really and truly want to be with. It wasn't a painful breakup at all, he just disappeared to deal with his issues, not to mention I'm dealing with my issues. If he doesn't come back could I move on? Yes but things will be different. The idea of having sex with a man not him or having kids with a man not him repulses me, even though we never had sex. I'll see photos of elderly people and imagine it's us as we age. Only time will tell if I end up with him. I will say this though, in my personal experience almost every couple that I've known has reconciled. Some ended up getting married and happy, while others did breakup eventually. I suppose it has to do with why the couple broke up to begin with. Almost every guy I dated, guys I dumped and ones who dumped me all wanted me back. I briefly took back two of them (one was a very amicable breakup) but the reasons we split up ended up being too great. For instance one guy and I broke up simply because he wanted to marry and me to convert to his religion, which I refused to do. We got back together a year later because we still liked each other but this was too big a problem. The other guy told me he changed his life (he was an alcoholic) but realized he didn't so I dumped him again. However, my parents and my brother and sister in law broke up while dating and they are all married.
  6. 100% agree. I've known people who were together in their younger days, they split, then got back together. Sometimes the person is 'the one" just not at that point. For instance if they are dealing with issues sometimes it's best to back off. I also think it has to do with why they split.
  7. I didn't notice that until know. Why do people like to bump old threads?
  8. Never too old to go to school. When I attended graduate school from ages 31-33 most of my classmates were mid 50's and older. No such thing as too old anymore. The professors prefer the older students because they really want to be there and care more about their work.
  9. Yep, me. I can't find a job to save my life, everything I touches get ruined, the guy I love doesn't want me (or anyone else) right now. My life sucks bad with no chance of getting better.
  10. Just to add this, but almost every boyfriend I broke up with tried to reconnect with me. A few pulled the old "I don't want a relationship", broke up with me, then months or even years later called me asking for a second chance. Others I broke up with because of various reasons and they wanted to be back with me. None of the relationships ended up working, but it was because I had moved on and wanted something else. This is why I think the one I like will eventually come back.
  11. A few family stories: My parents broke up a few times before they got married. The've been married 41 years. My brother met his then girlfriend in school but then they decided they were "just friends". They both went to college (different schools) and dated other people. After college they were "just friends" and moved in (or so they say) as platonic friends, then realized yes they were meant to be together. In fact they were "just friends" so many times I've lost count. They've been married ten years and have a one year old daughter (that I absolutely love). In fact when the one I love said he only wanted to be friends I called my sister in law and said my brother pulled the same thing. I have a friend who met a guy, he couldn't commit at the time so she dated other guys. She dated a great guy but didn't feel the sparks she felt with the first guy. He came back and they are now engaged.
