I've recently started talking to a former flame and I want to know what you guys think - good idea or waste of time? And tell me why!!

How long has it been since you guys were together? It depends how you both feel, if it feels right and you're not holding on to what you previously had together then go for it!

As long as theres been no cheating or nasty things said during the break up i think it can work a second time, it has for me, we are now stronger then ever, I suppose it depends on the circumstances of the breakup.

If both people are willing to make an honest try. Hard work, but if you're both willing to put effort in, it can work

It can work if you deal with what went wrong, fix it and then move on from it and start fresh. I recently got back with an ex it works for me :)

It depends on the reason behind love failing the first time. If a person was hurt in the previous relationship , it may be easy to fall in love again, but hard to keep away from getting hurt and staying in love.

I'm in a relatioship that's the "second time around". Our first realtionship was a disaster; we didn't trust each other, barely saw each other and fought constantly. But I loved him so much and even thought we were dysfunctional I never wanted it to end. But evidently it did, heartbroken for a month of not being with him I agreed to see him for a 'catch up' coffee. Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to another dinner which led to lunch dates, romantic getaways and sleepovers before we both admitted we wanted to give it another go.
It's never been better, we're so happy and it could not be more different then last time. We rarely fight and talk to each other about everything. In March we're celebrating our 3 year anniversary. So yes, I believe love can happen the second time around.

Usually I say no because there is obviously a big reason as to why you broke up in the first place. If it is something so large that it caused you to break up, do you honestly think people change that much as to accommodate that change or to fix the issue. I think if you're with someone that's right for you, an issue that big won't arise. Smaller bumps in the road perhaps, but not a massive-roll-your-car-three-times -and-hit-a-tree bump.
