Do people change?

A couple of years ago i got together with a bloke for a bit of fun we were both young and he was only after one thing. A couple of weeks ago we bumped into each and got talking. He said he really wished he treated me better and is really serious about a relationship with me. I do really like him and ive always felt he was the one that got away sort of thing. I really want to believe him when he says it, but im so confused? How do i know if thes being really serious or just wants some fun again? x x x

He may indeed have grown up. If he didn't do anything especially awful to you, I might try dating him again. Just go slow. Don't hop into bed immediately with him. Men who actually like you for YOU will be patient and wait a while, whereas those who are only interested in sex will just move on to easier pickings.

Talk is cheap but people can mature. Make him prove it by actions...calling when he says he'll call, keeping plans, wanting to take you on real dates, spending time with you getting to know your mind, not just your boobs and vag. Don't put out in the meantime until you know he's legit.
