I really dont want to hate people. I never hesitate to talk to some whom in the past was my enemy. I always make sure that my friends would see me with a hand. Always happy to be their friend. Giving them a hug whenever I see them.
What are your thoughts about this. Share them with us.

I too don't want to hate people. But sometimes we have to be indifferent at least.
I'd be ready to give a hand to that guy. Even then, I'll make sure that he needs a helping hand and wait for him to ask for it. I believe in 'Forgive them, not forget'. What if he rejects our help, just for ego sake?
And also I believe 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me again, shame on me'.
Being friendly with those guys may not be possible. It would be personally very difficult for me to be an 'indifferent friend'.

Sounds good! Thanks for sharing. I knew that song by Leanne Rimes.. "Life Goes On".. Happened to be my favorite song. Hahaha. Yes, that's right we have to accept that people have different attitude. We shouldf always think twice but then not just twice but until you already got the best answer. :)

It depends for what reason i was dumped in the past. It's hard to say in general wheher i'll give the guy a second chance. It depends what sort of person he is as well. If i'm not attached i might give him another chance, provided he gives a reasonal reason why he wants to try again.

I don't think I will give a second chance to a guy who dumped me. It did not work the first time and there is no guarantee that things will be better the next time. If we happened to broke up for just a couple of days and he want to fix things then I will consider it but if several months or years past then I won't. It's okay to be civil with each other but I won't say that I'm friends with my exes.

Well it depends on the emotional attachment you have for the man. If you really need him emotionally in your life that as if the world stop revolving without him around, then give him another chance--this chance might be a happiness on your part as well as his. But if you already have forgotten about the stupidity of his existence in your life, then it's your turn to dump hi--payback time!![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

Second chance for a guy dumped me in the past? I don't think so, but i don't want to have any connection again to the person who hurt me in the past. As long as i can, i don't want to talk to them and i always refuse to be thier friends as FRIENDS, i can say hi hello but no more than that.
Happy posting.

if i was dumped by a girl and knew the reason why she dumped me and also knew the reason why she wants to get back with me, then i might consider it. i'd have to weigh those reasons and see which one weighs more. i don't want to get dumped again for something that i have no control over

Hello ShanLhey! I can be friend with a guy who if ever dumped me in the past. I mean I never experienced it though but if ever it happened to me, my answer would be I would not give him a second chance to be something special to my life again. Maybe I will forgive him, but I won't forget about it.
