Back when I was in high school, I fell for someone. We had an on/ off relationship throughout that time and I was completely in love with him. When we moved to college I met this girl and felt like they’d be perfect for each other, so I broke up with him. I thought our problems were insurmountable due to our families and that she’d do better with a clean slate. After that, I moved to a different country and they started dating. Recently, he told me that they’d broken up, and I’m moving back home (for work). I’m trying not to have any expectations for the future, but it seems like he wants to see me again and I want to see him too. I guess my question is, should I? I was so in love with him, but I’m afraid it won’t be how it used to or that I dreamed the whole thing. I’m afraid he’s not the same person I remember. But at the same time I’m wondering if that’s just because I’m afraid he’s never really loved me to begin with. How do I know? What do I do? It’s been 7 years TL;DR: I loved someone back in high school and am unsure whether or not to try again or get my hopes up submitted by /u/jokingsometime5
