Going on a date with an ex-boyfriend?

[amygwen]

So, I haven't been on a date in about three years since FOB and I broke up. I dated this guy when I was about 17 years old and he was 21 years old I believe. We dated for a few months and then he broke up with me because I'm an atheist and he's religious, he told me he couldn't see a future with me because we would never get married in a church or whatever. Which was an understandable reason, but at 17 years old, the last thing in my mind was marriage, I was just dating him and having fun at the time.

Anyways, I've started talking to him again, we haven't seen each other but he's been asking for me to go out for lunch with him and I'm not sure what to do. I know it wouldn't hurt to just go out to lunch but I don't want to start liking him again and then get in the same situation I was in before, because I'm still atheist and he's still religious, so nothing has changed. He's made it clear to me he made a big mistake and he really wants to see me again, so I'm not sure what to do. Would you go out with him again?

Nothing has changed like you said and if you got into a relationship and things got serious then talk would turn to marriage. He's already told you once he couldn't marry you because he is religious whereas your not so i personally wouldn't go out with him, i wouldn't want to risk liking him again and there never being a future. Surely if he's asked you out to dinner he maybe wants to be more than friends so couldn't you talk to him and ask him about why he feels he made a big mistake?

Never go out with an ex, for any reason. That's what i think. I'm a firm believer in been there, done that, got the t-shirt! Lol!

Thanks so much

Moomins: Thanks hun! I know what you mean, that's exactly how I feel. I don't want to be dating this guy and then he just do the same exact thing to me again, which will probably happen. Thanks again!

Bloodbinds: Haha thanks! I usually go by that motto too, but for some reason I don't know why I was second guessing myself. I probably won't go out with him again, just questioning! Thank youuuuuu!
