I would love outside input on this situation I'm dealing with. Shortly before going to college I was asked out by a friend who was very sweet and a great guy. I said no to him and about a few months later I started dating another guy who turned out to be a huge jerk. We dated for about a year and a half and ever since breaking up (1 yr ago) I've thought a lot about guy #1. I keep thinking of how differently things might have turned out if I'd chose the nice guy and not my ex. The nice guy and I never really kept in touch but I've recently spoken to him via email and I feel like I would like to give the idea of a relationship another chance. I have no clue if he would be interested in a romantic relationship but at the least we rekindle our friendship. I feel like at that point in my life I wanted the excitement of a bad boy but now I've matured and realize that a nice guy is the only guy worth having. Is it wrong for me to seek him out now that I'm ready, even though I let him go when he wanted me? Am I just asking for trouble or could this be an oppurtunity to have something great? Thanks :)

by all means, seek him out. He may be very pleased to know that you are single.

However, also be prepared that he may have a girlfriend now or is simply no longer interested in dating you.

Either result is quite possible.
