it's much much worse if it's a friend you haven't seen for years
you have email chats and think it will be like old times. then you meet them.

and realise you have precisely fuck-all in common any more. this is actually sad, whereas realising that you and some internet clown aren't meant to be together after all is not the end of the world!

I guess so.
I'm really shit at keeping in touch though, so that doesn't come up.

or I do have a lot in common with my old mates. Most of whom live nearby anyway. Although they are spreading. A few have moved to London for some reason. and one to Frankfurt.

What's even better
is when you meet up with a friend you think you've not seen for only a few years, you're finishing each other sentences, having a total laugh, and it's not until you get home you realise it's been TEN YEARS since you were in a room together.
And you weren't even 'best' friends to start with.
That was warm and glowy.

Although that can be weird when it's with an ex
You talk and laugh and have a great time, then as you walk away you remember things ended for a reason.

I had a few occasions like that with an ex of mine
But having to call the police soon reminded me that I was right to end contact.

Woooaaahhhh
Thankfully that's not happened to me, just a few guilt trips.

WARNING: No matter how bad the guilt trip is, do NOT sleep with them again.
It will cause more shit that it's worth.

Do I look like a teenager?
I am very good at recognising when a wank would be a lot less hassle in the long run.

Thank you
I was about to write exactly that.

So you're telling me, that if you were single, and a girl you still found attractive was rubbing your crotch, you'd be able to retain composure?
I knew I was making a mistake, but I figured it could be a fun mistake. It was, I didn't suffer any of the backlash!

Although now I think about it, I've slept with all 3 of my serious exes after we've split, hmm...

alright in those circumstances my resolve might falter somewhat

The police were no match for my parents
who jumped out of the car like Bodie and Doyle (or Cagney and Lacey). My dad even did a bonnet slide. This is funnier when you realise my mum was in her pyjamas with a macintosh and both of my parents are tiny.
