2 nights in a row, ive posted two topics on girls ( girls girls girls ) was post one

so out of nowhere today an ex girlfriend called me tonight. we first dated a year and a half during + after high school.  we were the textbook high school sweethearts. Id call her when i finished working at the shop at 11pm, shed sneak out her window and id pick her up, wed go to my house and spend our time together and id drop her off at her highschool the next morning, then head to my high school. we went through everything together... her parents loved me, and for sometime she lived with me at my parents house. our son would be 5 years old now if it werent for a miscarriage.... trust me we went though more ups and downs at the ages of 16 and 17 than alot of adult relationships go through. more other things than i care to list.

things got tough and we broke up. since then ive changed girlfriends like ive changed my underwear.... about twice a week haha... but seriously....

its been 5 years since we last broke up. I'm 23 now.  NO woman has even come close to filling her shoes. NONE. not even close has anyone held up to her standards and those chicks got dumped quick.

so me and her went out for drinks tonight and talked for a couple hours. wow. id give everything to be back with her.  it seems like we've both gotten past our problems that caused our relationships demise 5 years ago. i want to try to pursue something with her again, the timing is bad right not because she just broke up with the guy shes been with for 3 years.  so im hanging back... but...

All I have to offer is hold back a little bit. She is on the rebound now, needs to feel wanted. You have a history which IMO is a bad thing. You know her and the situation so do as you see fit, but I am always wary of past acquaintances since it usually ended for a good reason.

for the most part...

reasons we broke up- i was barely 18, working 55 hours a week ( nights ) AND going to tech college for truck driver training, and it didnt help that when her parents moved an hours drive away, that *i* had to drive to and from to pick her up after work friday night, then to and from to drop her back of sunday night.

at 18 i wasnt able to handle the stress. but now weve both gotten over our issues, hers was insecurity of thinking i wanted other girls, mine was not being able to handle the stress. she obviosuly has her own car now, and is even looking at a house to buy, and a manager at her work. shes gotten her ---- together. and im doing very well myself.

this thread is worthless without pics but... shes 21 now, half korean half white, 5'7" 125-130 pounds, 36C and as pretty as they get.

trust me, i understand the extreme caution thing. shes always called me at random times though, so i wonder if this might be a random out of no-where time to call me, whether it has anything to do with the breakup or not. honestly, even though i know i may be falling into something bad, i cant help but risk it if something happens. i cant go the rest of my life again, knowing that i didnt even give it a try.

Ignore all this talk about feelings and relationships.  Ex-girlfriends calling mean only one thing - free pie.

Either that or else she wants to be "friends" so you can be her emotional tampon and spend all your time and money on her while she drones on and on about every guy she's slept with since you.  That's why when ex-g/fs call the first thing you have to establish is every time she comes over you get pie.  And this is your perfect opportunity - you're familiar and comforting, and her self esteem is at an all time low.  Don't let this chance for free pie pass you by!  Hit it hard and hit it often!!!

But whatever you do, DON'T fall into the "friends" trap by listening to her whine and cry without getting some pie.  It's perfectly alright to give your ex-girlfriend a shoulder to cry on.  As long as you're both naked, that is.  No pie, no sympathy.  Period.

"five years plus" hmmmm........how about 30+?  I still regret "the one that got away" from my late teens/early 20's.  She was my first love and the best.  I looked her up a couple of year ago.  She had never married, still looked great, wow!  We went out several times and I thought things were going well.  Then her baggage started weighting her down.  Long story short; she's one of those that can't maintain a serious relationship for long.  

Be careful! It could work, but express your doubts and make her show some committment.  And give it some time.  A person will reveal their true nature sooner or later.

OK the way I look at it is this, She just broke up with her BF of 3 years... she is down and so she is looking at hindsight. And as we all know ...that is 20/20. She remembers the good times she had with you as she is going through bad times with him.

Personally, I would walk away BUT this is not ME we are talking about, If you STRONGLY feel you and her can work it out, why not? But if you feel like you are "saving" her... Walk away.

"Saving" women is a common mistake men make. they promise the world to help the damsel in distress only to later realize that she cannot be saved. sometimes, its too late.
