I might still like my ex...

This is an ex from 1992/1993. I was 17, he was 23. I was infatuated. He was tall, handsome and I was 'in love' from the first day I saw him. We worked together and he came down the stairs and I was smitten. He was so funny but he broke my heart (first time) by being a compulsive liar and a big fat cheater!

We lost contact and years later I found him on MySpace (probably around 2005) he was living in America at the time but weirdly he was coming to visit his parents the next week so we arranged a meet.

Fast forward to now, we talk most days and I've been talking to him for years, but over the last few months I've felt differently. He's ridiculously kind, I've been suffering with debilitating back pain for months and the doctors keep giving me pills and last week he offered to pay for me to see an osteopath (which I flatly refused as I cannot take his money, although the offer was appreciated).

We've spoken about his cheating in the past and obviously it's a non issue now, he was young and stupid and I was deliriously in love and blind!

I don't want to mention anything just in case it gets rejected. I've just started being a bit more flirty to see if that has any positive effect.

Any suggestions...?
Leave it or just ramp up my pathetic flirting attempts....?

You miss the vital information... are you both single?

ShandaLear · 20/04/2023 18:48

So you’re late 40s and he’s early 50s? If you’re both single then go for it. If not, steer well clear.

All the best op, sometimes I wonder if me and an ex would reconnect, but it's a mix.
As you have the opportunity, make the most of it op, @TheSaint01 all the best

Good luck OP. Let me know how you get on..

Both single yes, I would never cheat, nor go after a man with any kind of partner... not my style.
