General Question
Should I accept my ex-girlfriend's friend request?
Let me tell you some background between us first:
1. We broke up and it was a very rough break up.
2. A couple weeks later, I moved to another town for nearly a year, because of a job opportunity. However, we still communicated through the internet for approximately 6 months (despite the rough break up).
3. When she came into my city approximately 6 months after we broke up, we hung out a little bit. After about a week, she left to go back home, and then she told me that she was a bitch and then blocked and cut off all communication.
4. I recently got a friend request from her
5. I’m scheduled to move to a close town in the old city because of my promotion
Now, here’s the thing. If I do add her, I know that we’ll talk a little, and I do have some pent up emotions for her. I’ll probably do something I’ll regret.
It might just be a friendly truce, but I don’t want to see the dudes she’s been fucking lately.
Yet, I do miss her company and whatnot. I would like to accept her invitation, but yet, I’m fearful of starting up another truckload of bullshit. (She was a lot of baggage) I’m also worried I’m not completely over her, and I’ll start crushin’ on her again and do something stupid. And then the cycle begins again.
I only see bad things coming from this logically, but emotionally, I want to add her again.
She was my second serious relationship, and I had only a couple “flings” during the time we spent apart. Nothing serious though.
I’d like to be friends, but I do believe it will be hard.
By friend request, I refer to facebook.
What is your opinion on this, Flutherites?
