    Yes, but that entirely depends on the circumstances.

    It's possible, but I would be inclined not to do it. Ask yourself why you broke up with this dude in first place, and what were the issues that caused the relationship to end. Had he done anything to change, or improve whatever problems with the relationship were his fault? Have you done anything to work on whatever problems you had that were bad for the relationship? Sometimes people just arent meant to be more than friends.

    Try to use your head more than your heart on this one, because your ex is an ex for a reason I assume.

      ^This. I also have an ex-turned-best friend (actually, we were best friends before dating), and although we get along great as friends, we would never work in a relationship no matter what. I also tend to think that an ex is an ex for a reason and that if there were issues within the relationship bad enough to initiate a breakup, it's not likely it will ever work. There are exceptions, but they're pretty rare.

    Yes.

    What is different about each of you now - and do you understand why it didn't work the 1st time?

      We treat each other like we're husband and wife and joke around like that yet he says we can't be together even though he loves me more than anyone but when I ask why he doesn't ever explain. It's so weird to me because we talk every day

      We had a few arguments over really silly things when we were together but we always made up and talked it through. That's literally it. Just arguments they were over the stupidest things too.

      We haven't argued more than once since we broke up and our last argument was me saying if we don't try again I'll have to date other people and he got upset saying I shouldn't tell him that because it hurts when he thinks about me with other people...

        I suggest that as part of the attempt to make it work - that you both read "The 5 Love Languages" by: Gary Chapman.

        Relationships are about communication and most people completely miss on how to communicate their feelings of respect and love for each other (often - what is obvious to you is a complete blank to them, and vie-ca versa).

        This book has probably solved more relationship issues than all the others out there combined. Gary Chapman really identified something that all the previous books in the prior hundred years completely missed.

        There are versions for teenagers, seniors, etc. as well.

        I suggest that you buy 2 copies. 1 for him and 1 for you. IF you both work your way through the book - you will greatly enhance making your relationship last.

        Note that often each person goes at their own pace. Some people get through it in a few days (or less), others takes a few weeks. Some couples agree to do a chapter every day - and talk about it. Figure out what works for each of you...

        I wish you the best,
