Hi all, herewith my problem. On Friday passed I went clubbing with my girlfriend and who do I see but my ex-boyfriend whom I haven't seen in 5 years. I didn't make contact as I wasn't sure how he'd react, so he made the first move. It was so great speaking to him and being in his company. He professed his undying admiration and affection he still feels toward me, I didn't want the night to end. It was like we never were apart. We went out the following evening for drinks and agreed we'd try again. Had a fantastic time and we promised each other we'd do it right this time round, being patient and taking it slow. Even though I agreed to it, it's driving me insane. I sent him an SMS 2 hours ago and he still hasn't called or replied. I feel silly feeling this way because maybe he's just extremely busy.There's this lyric out of Sade's song, "never as good as the first time." Is it true? Could we make this work?

gal_dominique...

PG suggests that you give the man at least a week before going into hysterics! Just because you had a terrific weekend together doesn't mean you're entitled to put a leash around his neck!

The one thing most women STILL don't understand about men is this.

Just because we want to 'renew a friendship or try a relationship a 2nd time'---we're not going to spend every spare minute that we have talking to you on the telephone, sending you an email or a hitting you with a text message! Most of us had "a life" prior to the time we renewed the acquaintance with you.

Having said this.....if there's absolutely no communication from the gentleman between now and the end of the weekend....write him off! Don't hang by the phone waiting for a call---because it probably won't happen!

Why did you break up the first time?
