At what point do you "let go" of a dream...?

Question

we went our seperate ways a few years ago but have always kept in contact...

Answer 1

What's your "dream"? To get back together? After a few years, I'd say it's time to let go. Doesn't mean you can't stay in touch - just don't let it keep you from pursuing new opportunities.

Answer 2

If you were once close and went your separate ways but still keep in contact I would think there is still a spark of interest.
Look back and think of how times were when you were close.
If things were good then maybe it would be worth taking another chance. If you were together before and chose to split for what ever reason then it may be best to leave it as a dream and enjoy the memory of something that could of been instead of something that was and didn't work out.

Answer 3

Honey, you said it yourself you went seperate was a few years ago. You probally urn for her and just wonder what she's doing. Maybe you need to find someone else to be friends and maybe they will fill the emptiness. Letting go is a very hard thing to do. Its like so final. Just sit and write into a book and let all your feelings out and then close the book, unless you need to vent again. Remember date it and soon you will see the time will pass fast and writing in this book will stop. Good Luck

Answer 4

Never let go of a dream although if the dream is human and she went her own way then you must go on but a little secret "don't look for someone new, that person will find you "
by the way have you told her of your dream? you know if you tell her what will the hurt be "No" thats about as bad as it gets is a No so go for it...if you don't want to let go of a human dream or having another person in your life

Answer 5

"Now" sounds like a good time, especially if fantasies about the "dream person" are keeping you from forming romantic relationships with people who are actually available.

My poor hopeless romantic of a husband nursed an unrequited love for some woman for YEARS, having a few superficial relationships along the way, but still carrying a torch for this other woman. Then I came along, and when he told me about his habit of mooning over "dream woman," I completely kicked his *** and made him come to a resolution - Ya want Unavailable Dream Woman, or the living, breathing, willing-to-commit woman you've GOT RIGHT HERE, you silly goose?!

(Needless to say, he chose Option B, because we've been married for almost five years now.)

Answer 6

If being a couple didn't work out, then I say stick with being friends if it's going well. You can always try and get closer again but maybe not to the point to having an actual concrete relationship. Friends with benefits isn't a bad thing.

Answer 7

You don't ever have to let go of a dream - but if it's a person and you know it's not gonna work then yeah, you should let it go. But, if you've kept in touch and you are both single - then why not make your move and go for it. You'll never know unless you throw both feet in and try.

Answer 8

what dream are you talking about? We are humans our dreams come and go, people can not be involved in our dreams because we are the only ones that can control our destiny. If you are saying your dream of being with someone who you are not with, then why are you sitting here on the couch playing on your computer?

Answer 9

You let go of a dream when you go your seperate ways. women want real men, not lovesick puppies. if she is strong enough to cut you loose, show at least as much strength as her.

Answer 10

I was always raised to Never give up on your dreams. If its true love it will come back, but dont dwell on it. Life has its ways in surprising you when you least exspect it.
