Hi there,

Im looking at getting back together with somebody from my past....we drifted apart after having a rather bad fight some time back. He is now slowly coming back into my life and contacting me and of course time has healed that rift we once had.

Just wondering whether there are any good luck stories re: couples who have been together in the past (casual), drifted apart and then came back together and made a go of things? In the past it just wasnt the right time but it might seem that both are ready to pursue something more concrete.

Any suggestions/stories?

i have recently met back up with my exvirgal. like your situation the timing just wasn't quite right. it seems that we are on the same page at the moment but only time will tell. she has mentioned rekindling things but as of right now we are taking things slow and my best advice to you is to take it one day at a time. hopefully you both learned from the past and are just enjoying the moment together.

Try starting out being friends with no expectations. Hang out...spend some time together...reconnect. If, you both start feeling more "into" it...take it to the next level. I know nothing can damage a potential relationship more than rushing things and having certain expectations. If you are both interested in letting bygones be bygones that is a very good sign that what you shared before was powerful enough that you both might have learned something from the experience and are better off for it now.

thank you madameruby....that is also good advice....we had a GREAT friendship throughout that time we were together and although we parted ways with bad feelings, its amazing that we can become more again. I have to admit that I was very in love with this person during that time and it took a long time for me to get "over him", a very long time (I am a Leo so this is very difficult for us) and my feelings don't seem to have gone away after all this time (although I thought they had even though I thought of him often during our absence), they are coming back and it kinda scares me too coz maybe this time he has those same feelings and I don't want to rush it, I would like to see where it goes but yeah, taking things slow is probably the best way to go.

I didnt think it were possible to get back together with somebody after being apart for a while....I've heard of people doing that but never thought I'd be able to. Wow!!

Thank you 🙂

You had a past and now you have a present and maybe a future. Don't think of what you had but of what you might have. The good thing is that you know each other, but certainly some things are different and this is the interesting part. Maybe you still have things in common and can feel intimate. Maybe things have changed for you and for him and there is no longer compatibility. Maybe you are two different people but still like each other. Don't think too much. Just go for it. Follow your instict and if it is meant to be it is meant to be!Good Luck!!V.
