So I used to date this man in my 20's and we got engaged...I broke it off....
Years pass we go through divorces and for the past 8 years straight he has contacted me and asked me to marry him... Now he is in town and he has called me to meet.....I am not into him like that if I meet him for a drink will that open the flood gates....he had a family member die so I almost feel obligated.... Help your thoughts..... |

Help your thoughts..... You are obligated, to your own well being. Having a past connection doesn't mean you owe him anything. That said, a drink and some time spent may not be such a bad thing. You could use this to put to rest any notions he may have about a future with him. |

Remember why you broke it off the first time ???
The same reason will still apply, Go ahead have a drink and your regards for both the lost family member and future dates if you see even one red flag... Most importantly, go have a little fun ! Cheers. |

Help your thoughts..... You're the only one who can answer your question Tanzy...After eight years of phone/text marriage proposals  and now a sympathy play, I'd say enter at your own risk...A better option, if you haven't already, might be to tell the guy no in language that he can accept as finite....If he wants marriage and you want friendship, how do you think that arrangement is going to work in a positive way?...Especially if you add liquor to the mix.....

I think you should only meet him in a group setting. The death of a family member, and you rejecting him on top of that may truly hurt him.In a group setting you can offer condolences and keep out of deeper issues.

Just cut contact if you don't mind possibly losing him as a friend.

I appreciate the advice....I think I'm definitely going to hold off on seeing him I don't want to mislead him... Funny how at times when we actually meet up with a old flame. We realize the feelings are no longer there and they are not the person we thought they were. We all have to do what we feel is the right thing to do.. Myself I was put in a situation to meet with a ex. I thought I still had feelings for him and wanted to see if there was a chance. But when we met again I was like really no sparks no connection. We had a really good time and parted our ways... Closer at times is what makes moving on so much easier.. No more questions or what if's~~~~ 
Do what you feel more comfortable with... |

Do what you feel more comfortable with...  I can really relate to this Kristi...Something ends, but there is no real closure so you go back for a second look and think, "What was I thinking?"....It's bittersweet, but also very nice to finally have closure!...
