I've tried "getting back together again" twice in my romantic past,
and unfortunately, it didn't work either time.  Particulars aren't really
important, but the relationships failed the second time for the same
reasons they failed the first time.  In both cases, we "got back together"
because we were still attracted on significant levels and we "broke
back up" because there were still significant areas of incompatibility.

Therefore, my comment about getting back together would be: carefully
examine the reasons you broke up.  I'm the stubborn type who won't admit
"defeat", and part of my reasons for trying again were wrapped up in some
notion that I could _make_ it work if I tried hard enough.  And examine
the other's reasons -- yours may be sterling, your other's may be less
than admirable, or vice versa.

There have been a number of positive replies, which I think is great.  How-
ever, it might be important to know that success isn't always possible.
I've been through two, and watched 3 others closely (good friends) who
couldn't pull it off.  Good luck if you decide to try.
