Pearl Florriea month agoLast year, I had a short fling with a guy at my school. He was handsome and shy, so I figured I’d shoot my shot. We talked over text for a few weeks and met up occasionally between classes. Our conversations were awkward and a bit bland, but I figured that would improve with time since he didn’t have much experience dating. We went on one "date" with a group of friends and held hands a couple of times, but when the conversations stayed one-sided (I was doing most of the talking and sharing my interests, and he wasn’t really reciprocating), I decided it probably wasn’t going to work out. I called it off gently, and though I felt guilty for weeks afterward, I knew it was the right decision. He’s a sweet and kind person, but I realized I couldn’t date someone I couldn’t have a meaningful conversation with. Today, after a year of no contact, he sent me a fairly long happy birthday text, sincerely wishing me happiness and success. He added a short line about hoping life treats me well because he certainly would, and even reminisced about how much our brief time together meant to him. Now, I’m starting to rethink my decision and am considering giving him another chance. I’ve grown and changed a lot over the past year, and I’m curious how he may have changed as well. I’d appreciate any advice or thoughts you have!126
