is a clean slate possible?
Mon, 11-06-2006 - 7:30pm
Several months ago I started to date a guy who was really terrific. The relationship seemed to be on track but we let things move way too fast, expected too much and it ended up falling apart. We spent a lot of time together in one week and i think we just got really sick of each other in the end and didn't have much to say or do anymore. we really gave each other no space. the guy and I stopped communicating and lost touch. i really had no intention of speaking to him again. then recently, he sent me a really short email asking me how I'm doing, not much else. what's going on? I figured the relationship was as dead as dead can get. He had issues to work out and he pretty much gave up on the relationship quickly, thinking that the magic faded so that was it. why does he want to talk now? should I really give him another chance? can we really forget the first failed try at a relationship?
