Is dating someone the second time around successful?
436991
Sometimes.  However, you have to really think about whether you are dating the person for what you have together now or what you had in the past.  It is also important to examine why you broke up in the first place.  Is that issue resolved because if it isn't, then, chances are the relationship won't work the second time around either.

In most cases it's best you just let go of the past and try to move on. It also depends a lot on how things ended and how things currently stand. My thought is, if it didn't work the first time for obvious reasons then chances are it probably wouldn't work out now. A few of my X boyfriends have proven to me after quite some time why it was best to end the relationship and never venture down that path again. The best advice I can give is just to move on and find someone to start something new with someone who is right for you NOW --besides fresh new starts are always a lot more fun anyways.

I've gone out with 5 guys all together and the fifth is my soul mate.  With the other four, I rushed into the relationship because I felt no one cared about me.  I didn't want to be left out so when they showed any interest I was hooked.  When I met my current boyfriend, I decided I would take things slow and be very cautious.  We've been together for two years.  We've been through A LOT of trying times and are still as much in love as the day we met.

Ok...Sometimes we do think someone is the "one", but as time goes by being apart, usually the feelings also grow apart as life moves on. which means, we just thought that person was the "one"... Thats how it generally works... NOW, in the rare occasion.. it works differently.. I will use myself as example. I was dating a guy for 2 years, we both said we were the "one" each other wanted to be with (no proposal tho), well I ended up breaking things off (he had been jobless a while).. He wanted back with me for a while, but i wouldnt... Time passed by, we both lived our seperate lives, but talked on the phone occasionaly (maybe 6 times in 2 yrs).. We both had our new relationships and new breakups.. After two yrs of being apart I had a bad situation happen to me, and he was the only one who came running to help me.. ANd our relationship has begun again.. we both realized there were things we both were wrong about before, and  lessons were learned in our time apart.. The only difference is, noone cheated on anyone... That can really bruise someone's ego and self esteem, and make it hard for them to trust anyone again.. before your ex would consider being with you again, he'd have to gain trust in you back.. I'd suggest to him to try out being friends , hanging out (no sex) talking on the phone, etc.. to see what can be built up between you two. If you are meant to be together, you will be.. I'm proof of that

I think your first love is the stepping stone for a good second relationship .All the mistakes were made the first time and hopefully you learned from them .

They dont know from experience. I know, and if you want to find someone new, they are just around the corner. I found someone the week after I broke up with my boyfriend because The guy I broke up with was dating again.

According to public perception yes. In my personal experience not every day. Not unless it's a new relationship.

I was in love for 10 years and I'm 39 years old. I found love again but it took me awile. you will find love again if you do the following. first and the hardest you must let go of your former lover. I understand you are a widow but try not to think, talk and dream about him all the time. he's gone and he is in a better place and I'm sure he want's to see you happy again. do not compare,be open minded.take your time do not rush into anything.do not judge the person on the first date or two you may not be able to find out who that person really is. people tend to ack and be not them selfs when trying to impressed.and never ever sleep with him to soon, make him respect you first.

That all depends!  I would be too hurt and mad to even consider it right away.  You sound like you know what you want to do.  We have our own opinion so I say follow your heart.  If you do give it another try and it happens again, then by all mean do not do it again.

There are actually two different topics in your question:\n\nFirst is about true love striking twice: yes it is absolutely possible, and even more times. Love appears according to your and your partner's disposition to let it live and grow.\n\nSecond think is about your former boyfriend, I don't know if you broke up from your or his initiative, anyway stating that due to differences of personality you must break up is a flawed way of thinking. If you really love each other, both of you will find ways to make the relationship work despite differences. It is about finding complementarity as well as accepting compromises when needed. I think it would be safe to say that you guys should try to give it a second chance.

I spend i year w/ a guy and we mustve broke up and got back together at least 10 times. i was young and stupid. there was no future and i was blind to that. i just liked the guy and funny thing was about 2 wks before we 1st started dating i hated him, couldnt stand him. funny thing how that all works out. now i dont see him a whole lot, we're just diff ppl. but hes a good guy, makes poor choices in girls tho. guess i just gave him too much and didnt take away enough.

There is always a chance, at the moment give that person some space, and you need space to to think about what went wrong and see how you can get past this hurdle, then try to win the person back, cont push it though because thne you will be rejected. but you will know if there is a chance..... and if there isnt.... try and move on dont just by stuck on that person\nHope everything works out for the best\n\nXoXo\nme

No. If you love yourself then don't trust him again.\nHe did it once. He could do it again.\nIf you're smart enough, Don't fall for the same trick twice.

Yes, you should take some time, even if you don't think you need it, to reevaluate yourself, your feelings about the world and relationships.  If anything, just to make sure you will be okay, and not have a bad after effect later than expected.  You know, to make sure you still know you.  Relationships change people, even if they don't see it, so it is best to just relax, take a break, and make sure you are totally comfortable to go back into dating before you try again.  If you are not sure, just wait, it is likely you are feeling some subconcious doubt, and that will hurt your chances of a good experience.  You will want to give a new partner what they deserve, and you have to be confident and sure to really give it your all.

wow!.. that was beautiful.. Such a romantic!.. (takes my breath away..) boy, I hope it all happens for ya.. You sound like the coolest to be in a relationship with. It's risky business tho. The higher up you get (and I know.. I'm the romantic type too) the longer the fall sometimes. I tend to overromanticize things (and I know.. maybe we all do at times.. ?) and get hurt easy as hell.. Happens every time.. Some day I'll find MY Mr. Right.. I sort of envy old people.. the ones that have been married 50 years, but still must have some kind of connection, eh? What happened to the ex g.f. then you were with when you high-fived and fell head over heels for this honey? Well, my tendency here is to tell you to hold onto your dream.. you've high standards, but.. perhaps w/luck (yes, there is luck out there) you'll meet her again.. Or.. perhaps another one twice the woman? who knows? (all the world luvs a lover.)
