Bennington, VT USA Not in a romantic sense. My former husband and I reconnected after years apart, but just we remained friends. Fisch, 46
Preston, CT USA No, I have not. Kyle, 16
OH USA before i can reconnect with an old love they need to all stop calling me. at least one. losers, man. losers. A-Dog, 19
McMinnville, OR USA Yes and no. I mean, there's this guy that I dated the summer of 2000 and then wound up dating again teh next summer (that is so sad). Others I think about a lot. I mean, I don't want to be in love with them anymore, I just want to know they're okay. It sometimes makes me wonder if we ever really fall out of love with a person. I mean, energy cannot be distroyed, right? Keri-Jade, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA I've put a lot of effort into keeping my past loves in my past--and at a geographic distance. Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA I've wondered about them from time to time, but have no desire to reconnect. Looking back I can see that none of them would have been nearly as good as the one I ended up with. Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA Once and it turned out to be nothing anyway. I used to date this girl, Anna, in high school. We went to different schools and only dated for a few months. Several years after graduating, I moved to Phoenix, AZ (I had lived all my life in Leavenworth, KS). While living there, I just happened to run into her in a bar. I had no idea she had moved down there. We went out a couple times and it never went anywhere. Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS USA Yes, once. It had disasterous results... Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV USA I married when I was a teenager and it lasted a year. We dated a year later and that lasted a month. Then we dated twenty years later and that lasted a week. It's been forty years and I still think about him with love. Laney
TX USA Yes. I used to run into my high school sweet heart, although that hasn't happened lately. There are a couple of former lovers that I'd love to see but it's very unlikely that I will. Laura, 37
Lowell, MA USA I don't know. Not really. I think it's a shock sometimes to see someone you haven't seen in a while, especially when you once devoted a lot of emotion to that person. I think familiarity can send you back into old arms. . .it can make you forget why you left those arms in the first place. I did have an occasional urge to return to an old love before my husband and I were going out (just out of sheer loneliness and desperation), but now I'm taken and I don't want anyone but my husband. Karen, 22
Ames, IA USA Much to my delight, I have. About a year and a half ago, I got a note from the first serious man in my life, telling me that he and his wife had split up. Since then, we have been e-mailing and phoning regularly, and he plans a trip this summer, from the East coast, to visit. Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA Reconnected meaning years and years between? Lost contact?? Anyway, I'd have to say my husband. He was my first love and I don't know that I ever stopped loving him, but we split for two years and then somehow we just met up again and the second time was the right time! Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA No, and I'm kind of thankful of that fact. Ryan, 28
Riedlingen GERMANY I asked the question because I just received an email from an old love. That relationship ended nine years ago and was a mess. Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA USA Unfortunately, yes. I had a friend who, when I met him, I fell in love with instantly. We remained friends for about a year, but when we ended up going to college near each other, we decided to give a relationship a try. We were utterly convinced that Fate had decreed we were to be together. However, a few weeks into the new relationship, I got nervous and cheated on him. Dumb, huh? So I told him, and we didn't speak for about a year. It was bad timing for the relationship, I later concluded. So for a year, I grieved, but I eventually got over it, and met someone new at the beginning of this school year, and I'm very devoted to him. However, Nate chose that time to give me a call and ask me out to coffee. Overjoyed that he had expressed new interest in me, I met him. We talked of possibly rekindling the old relationship, but we agreed I would stay with my new guy until we reach any definite conclusions. We dated a few times behind my boy's back, and then I realized he was using me for my mind and my heart, but he couldn't return the old feelings. After that we played phone tag until our interest fizzled, and I decided not to bring back old ghosts. SOmetimes I regret this, and I want to pick up the phone and give him a call, but I think I made the right decision. And I confessed to my boyfriend that I had been sneaking around...and it strengthened our relationship. Cancer, 20
NYC, NY USA No. Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA yes... more than once, and it always ends in disaster. Exes are exes for a reason, which is what I seem to be learning painfully slowly these days! Maggie, 22
Sandwich, IL USA No. Alias Irrelevante Not exactly an old love and really not much time had passed... but I was dating a guy for almost two years, cut it off, and then rather suddenly we began dating again six months later. That's the closest so far, but I'm 18. I haven't even had time to gain any loves to be reconnected to. Johanna, 18
OK USA No. He e-mailed once, but I didn't hear from him after I responded. Eric, 20
Beverly Hills, CA USA No. Alas, the one other person I loved in this world is now deceased. Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
