Asking an old ex-girlfriend out?

LegacyUser

Hi,

I went out with a girl a few years ago but it didn't really work out. It was a long distance/cross-channel relationship and it just didn't really work. It all finished amicably and that was that. We've been in touch a few times in the last two years but that's it. She's now living back in Ireland not too far away from me. A friend bumped into her recently and he mentioned it to me. This got me thinking so I sent an email just to say hello and wish her Happy Christmas, etc.

Should I consider asking her out again or should I just leave it be?

It depends on her situation but I guess you won't know unless you ask. Go ahead, it can't hurt anything.

Of course you should get in touch again! Maybe just meet up for drinks/coffee at first, to feel the waters like.

As biko said. I went back out with an ex, admitidly we were not apart for as long, but we got married recently so it can work out.

I agree.

Ah sure ask her to meet up and see if things are the same first, she could've changed and so could you, y'know.

tman

aye, just meet up for a bit of a chat over coffee and try to gauge whether it's worth taking any further from that...
no harm trying anyway

Yeah, go for it.

Like the rest said, no harm trying and it sounds like ye got on well and stayed friends (in touch at least), so unless she has another boyfriend now I'd say your chances are good.

Yea def go for it! You may be the reason she moved back and is living so close to ye!! Keep it casual- text or email her to meet up 4 a drink etc.
BOL!:)

I third that, but seeming that it's been a couple of years since ye last went out, she could have changed - for the better or worse

Bear everything in mind, before you make that decision...but then don't be afraid to ask!

You sent her an e-mail only and your thinking about asking her back out? What makes you think she'd wanna try it again? Just curious.

Meet up with her, have a chat, don't get any ideas and that way you won't be disappointed and you might well be pleasantly surprised!

You never know unless you try i mean what have you got to lose,just ask her would she like to meet up for a drink and catch up,all she can say is no and then life goes on.
