...stay away! Stay far, far away!!!
REASON #1:
You are no longer in school together. Long distance relationships S U C K. Trust me, I'm here in Florida thinking about a wonderful wonderful guy in Chicago right now. And we don't have complications like your situation (See Reasons # 2, 3, etc.)
REASON #2:
He's an EX for a reason. Either you dumped him or he dumped you.
If you dumped him, why did you? Chances are, those characteristics have not fundamentally changed. Believe me, as stressful as it is to break up with someone, breaking up with them again, for pretty much the same reasons, is even more horrible.
If he dumped you, screw him! Don't waste your time with a guy who failed to see how special you are.
REASON #3:
See previous post. He's lowered his standards. You are clearly too good for him. You wouldn't want to be the girl right after this one.
REASON #4:
There is another girl involved. Two possibilities: either she's nice or she's a b****.
If she's nice, then don't go after her man. That's mean. Although maybe you should warn her about him.
If she's a b****, then don't go after her man! She's likely to come after you...this is trouble that you do not want. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...
Good luck and don't stress. There are plenty of wonderful guys out there. Come to Gainesville and I can introduce you to some of my sweetie guy friends. One of them loves to cook!
