Do you think this is true?


A friend of mine both have the same experiences.

Sadly, hasn't beenmy experience. I'd say that 90% of the guys I've dated did not come back and most I never heard from again.

And a small part of me wishes the last one would come crawling, on hands and knees back, really, really soon!

I haven't had the experience. It's ussually a dissappearing act with my exes. I don't know what I would do it they came crawling back. I am know to hold a grudge forever so I don't think it would work for me. I would probably start speaking another language or something like that. They probably realize they messed up or that you are so much easier to talk to than his new girl. Grass is always greener. :0)

Almost all of my exes have come crawling back in some fashion - usually about 8 months to a year later.

It's funny that you say that about them just wanting to hook up. One of mine came crawling back, but HE was dating someone else and he said he "missed our intelligent conversations" and hoped we could get together to talk. He wanted me for my mind. {smirk}

AJ, enjoying life with C.

To make sure you're doing ok? Because of him? Jerk. Big ego he has to think you might not be doing ok. Tell him you're fabulous and much too busy and in demand to waste time on him. :)

Yeah, I've had the same experience as you and your friend. Almost all have resurfaced. Who knows why. I kept in touch with some for a little while but they slowly fade away after time, kinda sad. Funny how that happens.

I wondered if you were referring to T.

Me as well. It seems the ones you want to come back, never do. The ones you'd wish would just stay away...they just won't leave you the heck alone! ...gotta love life. :p

I had an ex attempt to make contact with me again; but I refused to participate. I didn't answer his phone calls (LOVE Caller I.D.!); blocked his e-mail address, etc. Contact can only continue if it is a two-way street. I have moved forward, and don't care to move backwards.

Generally speaking, if it does not work the first time it wont work the second. The "good" ones, men or women, are good because they don't bang their heads against brick walls. (-: It is the very ability to live and move forward with life and not cling to the past that makes them good. (-:
