Hi aunts and uncles...

After nearly 6 months apart my ex boyf asked to meet him at the w/end cos even tho we broke up we were still friends and in contact with each other but just didn't see each other. We were a couple for over 2 years and pretty serious.

I agreed to meet him as I was curious to know why. He said he wanted to try again with me, but that he wanted to take things as they come and nothing serious yet.

What does he mean by "take things as they come"

Tisha-1 agony auntIt means don't make any long-term plans with him or for him. The future is tentative and it's like your relationship is back on 'approval.' If it works, great, if it doesn't, you won't be too invested in it. That's the theory anyway. I think that rarely happens, though, someone is always more interested in making sure the relationship lasts. I would spend this time with him working on the things that broke you up in the first place. If you repeat the same mistakes over again, you'll wind up split again.

Good luck!

hlskitten agony auntHe means he's missed you, tried out some other talent, none have come up to scratch so wouldn't mind a second crack of the whip with you again. BUT he doesn't want you reading too much into it and thinking you are back to where you were over 6 months ago, he just wants to see how it goes and wants a quick exit if things aren't any different to when or why you split.

Thats my guess from those 5 little words anyway.
