I've been considering to get in touch with my first love, should I?

My first love and I were together for around 3 years before we broke up about 7 years ago, it was a mutual break up as we were quite young and things fizzled out. During the time we were apart she did have a 2 year relationship shortly after she left but that she got cheated on. She did add me on social media a few years after we lost touch but I removed her after a few days as I tried to stay away from her as I was still healing, I then found out she got engaged around 6 months after that. In that time I was in another relationship which turned toxic so I left that and now I'm single. My ex however (my first love) did end up getting married but now I have found out she has got divorced recently about 2 months ago I think. I am guessing she's single now if the divorce is fresh, I know its a long shot but she was my first love and I never really forgot about her, even though we haven't been in touch for years do you think there could still be a chance for us to be together again? I've been thinking about her a lot, so much that I end up dreaming about her! Should I try adding her on social media, if so how long should I wait?

Go for it. You're both single, so why not?!

No reason why not if you're both single! If she only got divorced 2 months ago though, you might need to manage your expectations re whether she's ready for another relationship.

Yep, life is short so go for it. It may lead to the real 'end' for you in which case you get closure or it may just work out which would be great. Start with building a friendship.

My first love and I added each other on social media about 4 years after we broke up. We're now married with a baby Smile go for it you have nothing to lose!

No harm in adding her on social media. I personally doubt that it will lead to anything but I guess you never know.

Yes just go for it, reach out and see what happens, never know unless you try.
