I think the work we did together, the encouragement, the advice and accountability you gave me has been incredible, wise & very valuable. I am going to continue using everything I learned in my future dating endeavors which will hopefully end soon when I get engaged :-) and married....   -- Jessie

Should I get back with my ex?

Do singles have questions about dating and relationships? They sure do! If you have a question about a relationship quandary, just go to the

Dear Janice, The ex and I have gotten pretty close again and talk every couple of days now. Well, we have decided to meet up when she comes back to town. We planned for her to stay with me for 5 days, even though we haven't seen each other in over two years. I planned a bunch of fun things to do; I just don't know what to expect while she's here. We have talked about us a little, and about who we were. She always says that no one has ever affected her like I have, and she has never loved anyone like she loved me. I just want to know how I should handle our time together. Any suggestions? Ed

Well, Ed, I think that the only way you're going to find out what to expect while she's visiting you, is to ask HER. But, more importantly, I'd be interested in knowing the answer to this question: What's different now?

When I've spoken with singles who are considering a reconciliation with an ex, I suggest that they focus on two things: what's different? and, what are each of us willing to do differently now in order to make our a relationship a success?

I need to warn you however, not to be seduced by your ex's "euphoric recall" -- remembering all that was good about your relationship -- when there were obviously enough bad things that caused you to break-up. Get into reality instead! Figure out, together, what went wrong, what's different now, and what each of you are willing to do to make the relationship work this time. If you need help, you know how to find me.
