I've not re-dated any of those from before.. nor have I purposefully stayed in touch with them.. when it's done.. it's OVER.. however I'm not a total Beotch so if my path crosses an EX.. I'm polite or just avoid 'em all together.. of course it all depends on how hard the break up was..

that said.. aside from the dead ones and my ex-husband.. many have sought me out to try to rekindle the relationship.. but cuz I been there.. 'n I'm DONE with that.. I look ahead.. this way I won't trip over anything

Does being friends with a past love matter to you? What would you do if they approached you and wanted to talk again? Are you the person that looks back or moves forward? Does it depend on how bad the breakup was?

if I am able to stay friends it is the choice I'd make - if it's mutual, and would like to be friends.

I guess it would depend on what it was he wanted - just to shoot the breeze? ya - no prob.

to try to rekindle things? case by case situation

to rehash old relationship issues? NO - get outta my face
