Yes it could be great. A young friend of mine sees her ex. fairly regularly. They have no emotional entanglements with each other now, but have remained really good friends. They satisfy each others needs and as they have no worries about a relationship can ask each other for whatever they like and can experiment. It seems to work really well. They both look very happy anyway. Would not work for everyone but obviously can.
Best of luck. Joan.

Your ex is an ex for a reason. Its easy to have a Pavlovian response to the good times when he or she reenters the picture. We tend to remember the things we want to remember and not the tears, the frustration, the infidelity..whatever the problem happened to be.
BUT...that isn't to say that your ex and you don't deserve another shot. Some relationships fall apart due to timing or due to an inability to communicate--something that develops in most people as they age. Time can, in many cases, break down the personal barriers that prevents two people from being together...thus leaving you a good relationship the second time around.
It's best to evaluate exactly WHAT caused the breakup and go from there.

I don't think communication is ever unwise. I think it would be good for you to know what you hope to get from the date...momentary companionship? a rekindled love? a sincere friendship? What is the x wanting?
It would be very wise to make sure you're both on the same page about what you're hoping to accomplish. If one of you is just wanting another opportunity to manipulate the other...abandon ship!

Well, a lot of people do that, but you didn't really tell us the reason you two broke up. If it was serious, there's a chance you might get hurt again. It depends on the situation. Normally, I wouldn't go for it.

I was told when I was younger from my mother not to go backwards go forward it will make your life a lot easier.See your ex already knows whats going on with you from jump and he will try to use that against you.You don't want nobody constantly bringing up history betwwen you two if you wanted to start fresh,but this is not me this is you so do what you feel is right.

It's done all the time. And there is no more a guarantee it'll work any differently unless both of you want to make changes. Otherwise, the same sh1t is going to come up.

Not wise but comfortable because you know each other, but from past experience it never lasts, a leopard never changes its spots and that...

Not really, if you're going to do it, you better think twice before jumping into it again.
Think of what break up your relationship in the first place and try to fix it before starting a new one.

No, because you two have split up for a reason, unless it's been a number of years, things will probably repeat themselves, and unless there is growth and change apparent in both of you, it won't work.
