After 5 years, we may be getting back together!

Well guys, it looks like it may be happening! My "high school sweetheart" and I have been broken up since a few months after I graduated High School about 5 years ago. We broke up because we were together almost everyday and just had stupid arguments.

 

We've both dated other people and always ended up talking to one another or wanting to be back together. She finally ended things with her boyfriend and she's moving back to our hometown this week. I called her and we made plans to hang out this week.

 

I'm not going to rush a relationship, but I'd LOVE to be back with this girl. I figure we'll hang out and go on a few dates before I even think of becoming exclusive again. Any advice to help my situation?

Given that she just broke up with her boyfriend, do you even know if she's interested in a relationship at the moment?

 

I'm just saying... you're already rushing into something by making assumptions and setting yourself up for disappointment.

 

Give her some time before bringing up all that relationship talk.

Exactly. Which is why I'm not going to even bring up dating, even though I'd like to. I didn't bring up dates or anything, she just said she'd like to hang out this week.

 

If we continue after this week to see each other, on down the line I may bring up dating again. But I'm going to take this slow as most other relationships of mine have been fast.

You are already over invested...

 

If it were me I'd either be all in or all out..

or in other words.. make a play or leave it alone and move on..

 

Sitting back and hanging isn't going to work, since you are over invested she will see this and friend zone you..

Please keep us posted, though!

 

I wish the best of luck to you, because it is rarely that two HS lovers find their way back to each other.

 

Keep it cool !
