should I try and be friends with my ex?

[Austen]

My ex and I spent an amazing year together, it's weird... I've never had as much fun with somebody as I did with her. This summer, we just drove around, exploring the world and making a bunch of memories. We had a really, really, really incredible time together. We broke up because people within our group of friends just started a bunch of bullshit. Lies, etc, plus we were just so different we didn't handle things the same way so we literately just stopped talking. One day I just decided I was done and stopped talking to her, I only meant for it to be for a few days, weird thing was.... she never texted me, either. We both just gave up on eachother. Fast forward to now (about six months later.) She has a new boyfriend, and I'm talking to another girl... the thing is, I miss the time we shared together. As I emphasied earlier, we had a really amazing time together. We were in love, we never, ever fought except for the final situation we had no control over. I just miss talking to her, I miss those late night drives to nowhere, I mentioned her on Twitter a few nights ago and we replied back and forth for about an hour of memories we sharred. It was nice. I don't want THE relationship again, but I do want A relationship back. Here's the catch, like I said we both have other love interests in our lives, I C A N N O T S T A N D the group of people she hangs out with, they're liars and the reason we broke up, (its not like I'm still mad about it, I think we needed to break up.) but I just don't want to associate myself with those types of people. The same goes for my group of friends and her, they hate her, they hate her so much.... but right now, I have this incredible urge to text her and tell her I miss her. I'm not so much afraid of her response, because she made it clear she misses me too... I'm afraid of what it'll lead to. I don't want to mess up hers or my relationships or friendships, but you would just have to understand the time we spent together.... I've never met anybody like her, we connected so well on so many levels and just had fun together. A fun like I've never experienced, doing the simplest things, we really, really, really, loved each other at one point in time and we both helped each other get through the roughest times in our life. The question is: is it worth it? KDHJFAHDLHF SIGH SOMEBODY HELP

Usually it is best to just move on unless there are children involved. Keep in mind that an ex is an ex for a reason, and that reason is usually still lurking around there somewhere.
