Let's say you are a single person actively dating. Would you date your ex or your current spouse (or partner) if you met them for the first time today? You wouldn't know anything about them or anyone who knows them.

I cast the first vote. I probably wouldn't date my ex. We started dating as teens and really grew in different directions. He is still a sullen 17 year old boy who thinks everyone owes him something while I have become a very happy grown woman who loves life.
I went with not sure. Because it depends which ex we're talking about. There are a couple that I think if we would have met later in life, the relationship would have gone much smoother. There are a couple that, now I am confident enough in myself I would not put up with their crap as long as I did.
Of course I would date and marry my current spouse again. He is wonderful. I think that if I met him for the first time now I would like him more than I did the first time I met him at 17.. if that's possible. He was a great guy then and is an even better man now.

All this and more! I love my DH with all my heart. Now my ex husband? Nope. I'd laugh in his face.

If I met my exh and just going on his social skills I would probably think he was ok. But then if I got to know him I wouldn't want to be involved. I kinda had my doubts when I was 16 but he was so cute and he liked ME!!
The truth? I met my DH without having a clue about him. Yup, would do it over in a heart beat. I knew the second I saw him, that he was the one. He says it was the same for him. 39 years and counting.

That's pretty much the same story here, Czech. Except we've been married 33 years.
Well, honestly speaking, if I didn't know anyone that knows him - then probably no to DH. See, my best friend set us up - she basically picked him out for me. I SUCKED at picking men. I had a fatal attraction to players. It was very bad.

I am a single person but not actively dating. If I was dating, I would not date my ex. And I would definitely remember my ex, since I pretty much remember everything in all of time and space (it would be nice to forget, but that is not an option in my world).
For the record, I have not dated since 1996. It was not worth the all the drama, personally.
