Open Question: Still thinking about old flame?

My ex and I broke up about a year and a half ago. We’d been dating on-and-off for roughly seven months. It definitely wasn’t working (I was way more invested than he was) and the split was fairly amicable.

At the time it felt pretty good to be done with something that wasn’t headed anywhere. It felt especially nice when I found out he was later arrested for jumping on a car and seriously damaging it, then fighting with the responding officer (not nice that it happened, just that I wasn’t involved).

Within the last few months or so, though, I’ve been thinking about him a lot. It didn’t help that, when looking through my Facebook messages last week, I found one from him sent back in March I hadn’t seen before. It was a pretty basic ‘hey, how are?’ type thing, but still had me feeling something.

Logically I know that a relationship is out of the question; we’re simply too different. However, I can’t stop myself from feeling a bit of nostalgia and desire when I think about him. I also can’t say that if he wanted to get back together, I’d turn him down.

I don’t want to feel this way about him. I want to be able to put this relationship completely behind me. Any advice?
