Go back to an old flame, or stick with what you have? It depends. To use a football analogy sometimes when you get relegated it is impossible to get promotion. And now a boxing analogy Depends if you were punching above your weight in the first place and the "old flame" is a viable prospect. And now a dog analogy Also depends how good your long term vision and patience is. Some would just snack on any old bone rather than waiting for the right bone to come along. By then you don't notice the difference between one bone and another. |

If we're talking in the context of an old flame with whom nothing concrete actually happened, I would say that, in my personal experience, it's not a good idea-particularly when you feel a bit used by them. I would keep away.
However, if it's the case that you were punching way, way above your weight (and deep down you knew it), and you took them for granted before they gave up and went elsewhere, and you have the chance to get back with them, then do it. And don't screw up so royally again-second chances are a very precious thing.

Also the tangibility of the second chance with an old flame is one to consider. Particularly if you yourself were at fault for the other party eventually having enough by being unreasonable and possessive. If you can work out where you were at fault and if you truly believe you can change these nuances then full speed ahead. However if you honestly believe you have no fault for the prior split then I'm afraid it is doomed to failure
