Yes I've dated one ex, we broke up because there was too much going on our own lives seperately, plus he needed to grow up a bit.
However I feel like generally exs are 'ex' for a reason.

I married one of mine. known him since 13. it just wasn't right til it was right :-)

I normally would say no.  I have done so though, didn't work out.   I dated this one guy for about a year when I was 18, 19.  Broke up because he got really clingy and then I got pregnant a few months after. 

We gave it another shot  approximately 2 years later after my son was born, DS was about 18 months old and I was in a psuedo "thing" with my exh at the time (long distance beginning of a relationship) but not exclusive yet.  So I had a couple dates with the ex but he was not very nice with regard to my son.  He wasn't mean, just seemed to view him as an annoyance so it never went beyond 2 dates.  No room for that bs. 

Now, there is another ex I would probably sleep with again, if I were not married or involved.   He was my boyfriend off and on from age 15 to 19 and my 'first love" blah blah.  A total bad boy too so I would probably not date him again but I would sleep with him! lol.  bad.   I don't know what he is up to, haven't seen him since I was 19.   He had some family emergency that took him out of state and that was the last time I ever saw him.   The sex with him was amazing when we were young.  I can only imagine how amazing it would be with years of experience added to the mix! ;)

LoL @ this one 'cos I have... and honestly it wasn't a totally bad idea.

kinda a situation like @weezer said "really young then, way cooler now"....

We "dated" when we were young, like 12ish (oooh he's holding my hand, he MUST love me, right?) Broke up 'cos he liked my bff better *shrugs* she was cuter at the time heehee

Then when I was 16 and he was 17 we randomly met back up. We started dating again, he was still as amazing as I remembered him from the 4 yrs before. I remember being in awe of him on a regular basis. He's a good enough guy, and really we were in love. But, when we broke up the 2nd time it was 'cos we didn't have the ability to see each other regularly enough (he was in school and worked full time) I was in school 45 minutes away, neither of us had a drivers licence. We stayed in touch. It ended in good terms. And hot damned is that boy is still good looking, I'd prob go for him again actually. We only were sexual twice, both times after our 2nd relationship ended (oops) and it was amazing.

Now, in terms of "grown up" relationships. I can't say I have any exs I would actually seek out to have a relationship with again. Couple that would be fun to um.... re-experience though, if you know what I mean ;-)

This is funny it has come up today on SM. As my ex is now recently single, my friend and I were talking about "if ever..." and she asked if I would. Not gonna lie, he's lost a lot of weight and looks even better now than when we first met 10 yrs ago. Dropping off DD6 with him yesterday, I looked him over a cpl times. LoL

In an ideal world, we'd still be together so my darling Mouse would have never had to know the confusion of a broken family. But, we are so much better as parental units working together, than we were in a relationship. In a lot of ways we are closer now; because we are open, we don't worry about hurting each others feelings because we want what's best for our DD. She is our life. :-) Not saying not happy with my DH now. Just saying, situationally...

hell no, I get nauseous at the mere thought... once an ex always an ex :)

Interesting question.  If the break up was because of unlikeable traits, behaviors or different interests, those could change over time to where it might be possible.  If the break up was a trust issue (lying, cheating, etc.), that sounds like it would be pretty hard to go back to. 

I just saw a picture about this on fb... I'd rather shit in my hands and clap i believe was the quote :D

I guess my answer is a big fat yes since I married him. WTH was I thinking??? :-&

HELL TO THE NO!!! 

Im marrying an ex of mine.. he was 17 and i was 20... we both grew up and met back up its pure bliss..

Freaking hilarious I'm adding it to my arsenal

Lets see.... I dated like 9 guys, put of those 9 I have 3 I would date again.  They were great guys but our timing was off. One we called it off fue to golfing/school schedules clashed, another was I was "moving" and he couldnt do long distance thing (but his grandmother who was raising him hated me for not being apart of HER church). And a 3rd was getting naturalized and had to go back home because a sick family member and he was doing it the right way.  He got stuck back home for a year or 2 before he could come back working to support his family.   The rest were just a phase of idiotic mess I had.


Now my few one night stands.....Yea if they were still awesome I would do another round to see if it would work if and when DH goes away/dies

After meeting DH, I realized I could never go back to the kind of men I was with before. Why would I want to stay up wondering where he's sleeping tonight? Where the money went? Why he got fired? (Again) the list goes on and on of things I could never go back to. My daughter deserves much better than mom bringing home shitty boyfriends.

I guess you have to ask yourself, what can you live with in a relationship, and what can you live without?

When looking at an ex, would you be willing to be with the same person you left?

100% yes!!!
My ex and I had a kid young (19). I never regretted it. We had dated
exclusively for years. He was my world. We talked marriage, future and more
kids all the time. I never imagined my life without him. Like I said, though,
we were young parents. I raised my daughter in my parent’s household and he
lived with his. I did this so I could get through college quicker and be a good
mom and a good wife that could help support both of them. My mom did everything
she could to drive a wedge between us. She restricted him from visiting, told
me he was no good and a cheater (no proof to this day) and gave me all sorts of
rules. He resented me for living there. I resented him for not being more
active in getting us out. It became too much. I felt like I had little to no
control over my own life. I met someone through work, a scapegoat of sorts, and
left the love of my life. It was the biggest and worst mistake ever. I
regretted it about a week into the relationship. It's shaped my whole life
since and my daughter's. We tried once for a week, but he never looked at me
the same. Some things you can't undo no matter how hard you try and pray and
beg and wish. What bothers me most is I feel that even though it was my choice,
it really wasn't. I was at an emotional breaking point and my arm was being
twisted. I never told him the real reason behind any of this. He thinks it was
all about this guy. I feel empty like something was stolen from me and the
worst is it was my own doing.

It's been 10
years and it's still a bitter break-up. I think the more love there was
sometimes the worse the aftermath is. He's married with a kid now (shotgun).
There is never a day I wouldn't take him back in a heartbeat. We would definitely
have to start fresh and have counseling to put this all behind us.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

My answer to this: Would you put your dirty underwear back on after you take a shower?? Lol... I have a horrible relationship record (can you tell?) ;)
