Thanks everyone for posting. It turns out that this is more of a thinking thing than I would have thought. I've heard the words, several times, but there isn't any action. What would a person expect to see from someone wanting to "try again". It certainly isn't the actions I did when I kept wanting to try again.

I think she has things from the last year that she needs to work through and I'm not going to push anything. Part of me though has already been sucked back in. I find myself thinking about it and also expecting that there should be some sort of difference. And I said the word "expecting". That's probably a no-no. I think I probably should just sit back and go with the flow. I'm not convinced of anything at this moment, but I guess part of me would like to believe that there is a chance of a good relationship. I guess I'll just wait and see.

Could be. But she knew about it already and I didn't get any sense it bothered her at all. It seemed to me more like she was relieved. But, it worked. I'm not seeing the other woman anymore. I leveled with her about all this and she graciously left the door open. But my X suggesting trying again didn't have all that much to do with it. I was already feeling nervous that things were moving faster than I liked (even though compared to most starting relationships it was moving slower than molasses in wintertime). She was really my first foray into the dating world and I would have preferred having a little more time to look around rather than being in something even close to a committed relationship. I guess I felt a little smothered by her wanting to do things with me too often.

Anyway, hopefully some of that made sense.
