My ex boyfriend recently returned to my life, we split on good mutual terms a few years ago because of dream job opportunities. The other night he asked me to dinner and I agreed, then he spent the rest of the evening flirting with me and asking all kinds of personal questions about my life to "catch up." It seems to me though that perhaps he could still want more. Although he left the conversation with no pressure, just some offers to think about. Is it possible that he wants to try and pick things up where they left off? And can things really just go back to the way they were after all this time?

May I suggest, not picking up the old pieces. You still have the advantage of knowing each other. You left in a civil manner and have (I am guessing) your dream jobs. Start new. In some ways, you are both different now. You will still have the fond memories that you both share, but a fresh start (in my opinion) would be more healthy for your relationship.

It is possible for two people to rekindle the love they once felt for each other. Take it slow though, take time to get reacquainted again. If you rush into things too soon, and this means sex also, you run the risk of not giving the relationship a chance to grow on more positive terms, like mutual love, respect and friendship. He may have thought of you all these years, missed you, and decided to give it another go. Or it could be just a casual date just to catch up with old friends sort of thing. This is another reason to take it slow, or you might run the risk of reading into this all wrong and getting hurt. Best of luck!

It could be very possible that he wants you back. But dont jump to conclusions or look forward to it. Just go with the flow. If you and him did get back together you should know weither it would be the same by how you felt when you had dinner with him. did you feel comfortable? Were the feelings there? I just feel like you should discuss ever aspect of the relationship. But I think you and him getting back together wouldnt be different because your breakup was mutual and it wasnt because something went wrong! but good LUCK!

Anything is possible but it's not very likely that things can go back to how they were. In fact you shouldn't want them back to how they were because you split last time. (good terms but still split)
Give it a try and see what happens but don't compare to last time and don't expect that both of you are exactly the same people anymore.
Good luck.

Hummmmmmmm its a dificult one... i think that yes they could go back to the way thing's were as long as there is no jealousy there! It all depends on how u feel about him.... does he still turn u on like he used to? Do all those little annoying thing's he used to do actually bug u now rather than make u giggle? And vice versa.... u need to think about it seriously b4 jumping into anything! Or.... just jump into the sack with him and see if it re-lights those feeling's again! Good Luck! xx

No do not pick things up the way they were because what was in the past let it stay in the past. If the both of you wanna get back together than start a new relationship with eachother.

Two blondes
Two blondes were flying to Miami from Cleveland. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the captain announced "One of the engines has failed and the flight will be an hour longer. But don't worry we have three engines left".
Thirty minutes later, the captain announced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be two hours longer. But don't worry we have two engines left".
An hour later the capain announced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be three hours longer. But don't worry we have one engine left".
One blonde looked at the other the other blonde and said "If we lose one more engine, we'll be up here all day"

They can never go back exactly the way they were. Damage has been done, but you can start over with a fresh outlook and knowing your mistakes so you don't make them again.
