What are the reasons you two broke up, and in what way did you two brake up?
In my case, when this kind of desire arose, I never did get back in contact, there is a reason why "we" broke up, and it does not matter for what reason we did brake up. Past is past - - But that's me . . . . After 15 years, as being said, one matures, and grows ( Supposedly ). . . so the second time around it might be different, and it might work ( if there are romantic desires there ), but don't hold your breath - - - - As I said, there are reasons why people brake up . . . . and often when they are on and off the relationship, each time it get's worse, then the previous time ( In this case, people doing that, should get their heads checked )

sure, why not?
plus the fact you were able to split amicably testifies your (yours and hers) comunication is pretty good, which should avoid any hipothetical misunderstanding about the nature of getting together...

I think you must know the answer and not so deep down.
After all, she wants to see you, you parted amicably, you harbor a series of 'what if's'...It makes sense to get on with it and meet her. There is nothing to lose. You don't have to see each other again after that. Go and enjoy.

Lerie2010: What exactly baffles you about a woman wanting to be friends with an ex partner who obviously shared some happy times?
Yes, Yes, Yes, what on earth have you got to lose, and maybe a friend to gain, you parted amicably so no problem there, don't listen to all the negative peeps on here, go for if Tomcat. If it doesn't work out you can amicably part again.

If you are comfortable in catching up with your ex why not just don't expect too much to begin with, go with the flow and hey let us know if all is a good outcome. Good luck

Go for it. An amicable splitting up is very, very rare so you respected each other which is very important.

Hi Lerie,even if you don't want to,you are forced by the heat wave,so going swimming to cool off, is a must.-Easy to avoid cold weather,you live 6 months in the North and the other 6 in the South hemisphere

Just a thought maybe give her some flowers or not
Flowers are out,we live in defferent continents,she is remarried.-The only thing i'll be "catching up" with her is thin air,and a headacke.-

The decision is yours and yours alone. Hope it works out for you.
Personally I prefer to look forward rather than backwards, but in this case I think curiosity would get the best of me. So I think go for it and check it out. Nothing venntured, nothing gained. Besides, whats the worst that can happen? If it turns out to be nothing youve lost nothing in the process ...good luck
Operative word here being expectations... what are they? ... too many of us get caught up by them, lose focus and get hurt and/or hurt the other... just be honest and go forward regardless of outcome.
Majority of people think you should meet up with her but I'm thinking you might be opening pandora's box if you do. Even though the breakup was "friendly" there still was a reason for breaking up. My guess is you will meet her because you are curious as to why she's contacting you. If you weren't going to meet her you wouldn't have asked the peeps their opinion. If I contacted someone from 15 years ago it would be because I had compared him to all the other men I've dated since the breakup and now know that he was the best. Good luck to you.
Nothing is wrong is getting back with an Ex I wish I could locate one of mine to send her a text.
