Dear Melissa,

I have recently started online dating after being off the site for a few years. I have noticed I am getting messaged by guys I had previously dated from my last online venture and am wondering if I should give them a second chance since it has been years. What should I do?

Dear Onliner,

There is no harm in giving these guys a second chance. You aren’t agreeing to marry them and people can change over the course of years. You are all in different phases of your life now and may find that you have more in common than you did before. If these guys are still interested after all this time, it’s probably because they see something in you. On the other hand, if you tried dating them before, and there was something you remember that was off-putting enough to not schedule another date, listen to your gut and kindly decline. Good luck!

Melissa
