Can it be different the second time

[Hopeful99]

I ran into someone the other night that I had dated a couple of times in the summer. She was very nice and had a lot of great qualities but for some reason, I did not feel "it". I was going through some situations with my ex and had a lot of stress going onback then so that might of had something to do with it.m.

 

Anyhow - we talked for about an hour, then made plans to do lunch later in the week. We went to lunch and had a great time. Gave her a quick kiss good bye and we are going out again.

 

I think I feel something this time around. Why do I feel something this time when I did not feel anything before. Is this common. Just curious as to everyone's thoughts on this.

I don't know why you'd feel differently, but either way... It's a GOOD thing! Sounds like you and her have a shot at something good.

 

I wish you good luck with her.

having an ex involed, or having to deal with, can put a great strain on a relationship. maybe now that things are calm and time has passed, you feel you can give more of YOU to her than you were able to the first time.
