I'm always wary of looking back rather than forwards. There's always the chance of you thinking "if I was who I am now back then things might have been different or I would have done things differently", but this doesnt allow for how other people may have changed in the meantime. Unfortunately things are rarely the same when you try to have another go at them, which I think is rather unfair of life:)
There is also the chance that if things hadn't gone the way they have for one reason it may well have happened for another.

Perhaps I'm over cautious and maybe it's just because i'm reasonably sensitive but I am inclined to be very careful with other peoples feelings as well as my own.
Im definitely one for being quite happy to give these things a good go if they occur naturally but would be unsure about engineering it unless I really knew what I was doing.

Maybe it would be an idea to try to nurture a friendship first? It would be less pressure and less scary at least:O)

So long as you do what makes you happy thats all that matters anyways.
