Contacted love of life after 9 years!!!

Hi,

I have never posted here before but need some input as to my current situation. To make a long story short, I discovered a box in my attic filled with love letters from my first love when I was a teenager. I've never loved anyone half as much as him, but had managed to put him behind me after he broke it off many years ago. Anyway, all those feelings that I thought were finally behind me came rushing back when I opened that box and so I took the chance and wrote him a friendly letter...not really expecting anything back. Well, I got a great response and we have been chatting for a few months now via email...and he's the one doing most of the contacting! I'm just starting to get confused because he's been telling me how beautiful I look (sent him a pic) and keeps telling me how lucky my new boyfriend is to have me in his life. He also apologized for things that happened in the past. Do you think it is possible that he MIGHT regret his decision of breaking up with me? We were teenagers and all when we were together....and his life is NOT going that well at the current time.

Any input or advise would be GREAT!

yes, i believe it is possible
i spoke with a guy i had something for 10 years ago
he is now wanting to see me
he seems very sincere
we were teenagers too
i think it could work out depending on how bad things were

i also had an ex that i saw later and he had gone downhill
so i would be careful and see him for who he is now not fantasize about before
