Could it work again?

I met a guy 5 years ago. I was 22 and he was 23. We dated for a good 3/4 months and it was a passionate relationship. I had my problems though and so did he. Ultimately i did mess up the relationship, nothing to do with going off with anyone else etc. He was posted abroad for 2 months and while away he drifted away. He was in a party capital and i heard less and less from him. Any way he called it off between us and shortly after met someone out there. He stayed there with her for 4 years and came back last year when they split.
I was curious to see what he was up to so added him on social media. He messaged me last week and we got chatting. He apologized and so did i. He said he hated the person he was back then and he has grown up now. He asked to meet up with me and im due to go for dinner with him in a few days. This past week we have spoke so much and i feel like he is so different now. Very grown up.

Do you think this could work? Anyone got any stories where they met back up with someone later on in life. I just don't want to get hurt again but then i want to take the risk because it could turn into something good.

As a FWB situation yes! I wouldn't take anything seriously.

Why wouldn't you take it seriously?

It does depend exactly what happened but DH and I first met 10 years ago, dated for a few months but had a lot of other things going on in our lives and neither of us could give the other what they wanted. We split on good terms.
A few years later we got back in touch and the connection was still there; fast forward to now we’re married with children.
For us we met at the wrong time in our lives and we’re lucky enough to meet again at the right time for us both. I suppose you just have to take it slow to make sure he had changed

What I mean is, to be careful. He may have changed but don't start anything with expectations that he'd changed. Have a bit of fun and go slowly.
