text: should i date an ex of mine?   its okay, if you do not want to go into the same set of troubles, which made you leave him in the first place.  i guess it all depends on how you feel about the person. if i were you, i would never go out with my ex, but then again i am i and you are you.   also being an ex is not that bad, prolly you have fond memories too, and which you cherish upon,   weigh on cherished moments, and times of digust, then follow your heart
