It's rare it works out long-term for either sex IMO. If you really get along, feelings will often get involved. Seeing each other once every few months or less would work fine though.

So interesting. I'm curious as to why that is ... girls are more emotionally invested, so they have a harder time walking away permanently? Or guys are secretly more emotionally invested, meaning they can't stand the sight of their ex with someone else? Heather, I think your first boyfriend and my second boyfriend must be the same person ... (for the record, I'm still friends with him, too. In fact, the last time he was couch surfing b/c his parents kicked him out and his ex was taking him to court for not paying child support, he chose our couch. However, after he pawned his brother's Nintendo without permission in order to buy drugs, we decided not to let him stay anymore. Did I mention he's 31 years old?)

The last I heard of my first boyfriend, he'd been arrested for getting high, "borrowing" an ice cream truck, and putting Korn's "Shoots and Ladders" on the speakers and getting pulled over running a red light. It is awesome to reconnect with people though and find out that the people you were drawn to as a kid are people your adult self jives with as well. .-= Heather´s last blog ..<a href="http://heather-harris.blogspot.com/2009/08/in-blackest-day-in-tightest-tights.html" rel="nofollow">In Blackest Day, In Tightest Tights...</a> =-.
