Ever had a successful second chance?


Question Posted Monday December 3 2007, 5:44 pm

Has anyone on here ever re-dated a guy and had a successful relationship? I want to know if a second try is always disasterous.

hey, i am currently re-dating a guy and it was the best thing i ever did. we have proof that they do work. The first time, we didnt know each other well enough and i thought he was too serious. we then stayed really good friends then got to know each other and then really connected.

We then tried again and everything changed, we are now inseperable and has been 5 months and ive never been so happy.

we went out again about a year after we broke up initally, so thats proof that it can work but it can take time.

so all n all, yeh they can work, because i am living proof. :)

Hope this helps :)

I personally do not know anyone who re-dated a guy and had a successful relationship. But I'm sure it could happen with the right guy.

I have gotten myself in a cycle with the same guy for four years, and in my opinion if the guy truly means everything to you, keep trying. If you can live without him, do. It's an awful feeling trying again for a letdown, but it happens sometimes.

A friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend because she didn't think she loved him. They came across each other a few years later, and ended up married. They are both extremely happy.

Third time was the charm for me.
I'm now married to the guy with a baby boy and another on the way.
But a lot of times, if it doesn't work the first time, it won't work at all.
I just figure we were lucky.

It doesn't ALWAYS end up as a disaster. It matters why you broke up in the first place and if you can piece things back together without any problems.
I've dated someone more than once. Although for me it did spell disaster because we were just too far gone for it to work out at all. and the past just couldn't be forgotten.
If you give things another shot, know why it didn't work out the first time and fix things, there's no reason why it can't work.

I have. My boyfriend left me for my bestfriend...then my bestie ended up breaking up with him. A year later I was with him again, and am still with him now. Prolly been together about 10 months now and are quite serious (have talked about moving in together etc). So it's not always a disaster but ultimately it depends on whether you two are right for each other. Some times you're just better off staying friends.
Anyways, hope I helped! :)

I have had a relationship in which we broke up and dated again actually three times. I don't even talk to him anymore. Your case may be different, but my conclusion is that if there are troubles often in the beginning, it's best to just find someone else.

I personally have not, but I know a few people that have. Every relationship is different. Is it possible to have a really good relationship with an ex?? Yes. Is it possible to have an extremely disasterous relationship with an ex?? Yes. There's the saying that goes "they're your ex for a reason" but I don't necesarily believe in that. Sometimes relationships just don't work out & sometimes when you re-try it, they do. I think second chances are fine. It's when it becomes third or even forth chances, that's when it's really bad. If you feel that he is worth the second chance, go for it. Everyone is human & we all make mistakes. If it's worse or just not what you expected, then you probably should stop trying to date him.

-hope that helped!♥
