View Full Version : How to ask an ex fling for a second chance?

I started dating a guy a week after I broke up with my long term boyfriend of 4 years.
This new guy was great, we went on dates for 2 months, hooked up a few times, but it eventually fizzled out. I didn't know why at first but now I do. As I had just come out of a long relationship, I treated this new guy like a boyfriend, constantly messaging him and asking him out on dates and even though we had a good time I can only imagine how strongly I came onto him! And that's enough to scare any potential partner! It's been 5 months since I last saw him and I'm in a fantastic state of mind and I realise I don't have to rely on people (and perminately hassled them) for affection. I am now wondering if I can ask him for a second chance at dating, but I don't know how I'd go about it without sounding really daft! Also we have mutual friends, if that helps... Any ideas?

Call him up and see if he's single. If he is, let him know just what you've said here. If he's interested, he'll let you know.

I agree with teacher but is there a reason you cannot just go out with someone else? Why him?

I could go out with someone else, and I have had a few dates but nothing has come of them. I'm open to meeting new people and won't hold out just for this guy, I just remember how much fun we had and would love to see him again!
