A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I'm meeting with an old best friend/guy I used to go out with tomorrow for a brief reunion before he leaves to go travelling.

Long story short, we were best friends during school but there was a spark between us. A year ago, we had difficulties due to the fact we had separate lives and it was a sort of long distance relationship.

Only last week, he got in touch with me saying he wanted to apologise for his behaviour towards me from last year. We started talking and had a catch up about what we're doing with our lives ... He did open up to me about a few past problems with his studies, which I felt pleased that he could trust me to tell me this. He initiated first contact whenever we spoke, so I feel that I'm not doing the chasing.

He's going away to travel soon and he seemed determined to want to see me before he leaves.

My question is, how can I overcome my nerves before meeting him and does he seem interested in having me back in his life?

aunt honesty agony auntSweeite if the both of you where best friends well then this will not be a problem. BELIEVE ME. Yes of course you are going to be a nervous wreck at the moment about meeting him, this is completely normal but as soon as you both meet it will be like the year apart never exsisted and you will both be soon chatting away like you'se did when you were best friends. Dont worry the nerves are normal. Everything will be ok.

He does seem to be interested, but he may also just want to spend the night with you before he goes off travelling so if it was me i wouldnt sleep with him. You would be better off not rushing into anything here. He is going travelling and you need to continue with your life. Do not put your life on hold, waiting until he returns. When he comes back and contacts you then, at least you will know he is still interested for sure.

As for the nerves. When you meet with him don't see him as an ex, or lover. Just talk to him like you would a friend. Be yourself, focus on positive things about your own personality and your will find that you are more confident and less nervous.

Hope I helped.
