They say that love is blind, Burn... I'd say your damn eyes just fell out of your head on this one! If things are as good as you make them sound, then what the hell are you waiting for??? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Sounds to me like there's no question! Rock into the sunsets together!!

That sounds like something a girl would say. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I say, go for it. Spend time together and see if everything really is still there. Sometimes people just remember the good. So give it a shot when she's visiting. This may very well be the one. And you don't want to screw that up! Believe me - sometimes it takes a long time to figure it out - I knew Todd for years, dated other people, always having that little niggle that he was a great guy - finally went for it and all's well that ends well!
"Niggle!!!!!!" What the hell is that? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Congratulations. It sounds like you found a winner.
Now for some serious, unwarranted advice: Observe the lyrics of the song, "Hold On Loosely" by .38 Special...
Hold on loosely
but don't let go.
If you cling too tightly,
you're gonna lose control.
More profound words were never spoken (sung, as the case may be). What I'm saying is to keep control of yourself. Be friendly, even be "sweet," but don't come across as a "wussy in love." Have your own opinions, have your own life, and above all, be your own man!
Nothing makes a woman run screaming from you quicker than you kissing up to her or "declaring your love" in the early stages of the game. If things are going well, resist this temptation. Even though you've technically known her for a few years, you've been blessed with a fresh start. Don't blow it by acting too lovey-dovey right away! Make sure she can totally relax in your presence, because it sounds like there will already be some tension in the air between the two of you.
Even if she tells you that she loves you, keep control. Believe me, I know how overpowering the temptation can be to say it back. DON'T!!!! The proper time for that will come. For example, if she asks you if you love her, grab her into a nice big hug and say, "why don't you stick around and find out?"
An earth-shattering analogy, courtesy of PowerTube (you're welcome)....
Remember what a thrill it was as a kid to open your Christmas presents? How would you have felt if someone had sat there and told you what each present was before you opened it? Not much fun, huh? Well, a woman who is interested in you sees it in much the same way. She believes you're awesome, and she wants you to be awesome, but never under any circumstances should you verbally tell her how "awesome" you are. This is like telling her what's in the presents before she opens them. She wants to slowly peel back each layer of you while thinking, "he just keeps getting better and better."
Make sense?
Anyway, I wish you the absolute best of luck. Play this properly and it sounds like she'll be putty in your hands.
I say go for it. But a note of caution: you really haven't spent much time with her, and none at all as an adult. She might well be a very different person than you believe her to be. You need to spend some *extended* time to really get to know her before you make any life decisions. Not just a hot weekend here and there.
In other words, don't rent the moving van just yet.
Bang her?: Yes
Tell her you love her?: Not this trip
Move near her: HELL NO!!
Sounds like you've got a nice big fish on your line. I gather that you are a little on the young side. The best thing you can do is just totally blow her away in bed. How do you get good in the sack? PRACTICE!! Go find some girls in need of some lovin' and practice getting them off as best as you can. Then when she comes to town, you will not only have confidence but the skills to back it up. You wouldn't box Lennox Lewis without beatin' a few poor bums into a pulp, would ya?
I have a friend that paid for a girl's med school in Florida - they were in love and married after all. When she graduated, he found out she banged everyone in Florida and left him with a bill.

When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off. - Ace Frehley
Great advice, guys. Bang her first to see if she's good, or bang everything that you can find to "practice" so you'll be great for her, because undoubtedly she's got the brain of a pea and only wants a man who can bang her senseless [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]
And if she professes her love for you, make sure you don't tell her how you really feel about her, because, you know, chicks wanna be treated like crap and left wondering if you really like her or you think of her as a sister or something platonic like that. Better yet, they love it when you lead them to believe that you're waiting to get them in the sack before you're sure if you love her, because, y'know, why spend time with a chick that can't move under the sheets?

Take it from someone who has watched, learned from, and successfully avoided every single related mistake everyone else has ever made, and ignore the above advice. Don't be too quick to bone her. I'm sure she's had those types of relationships and is probably burned out on them, just like you did.
She's also gone through the same crap you've gone through with exes and friends telling her this and that, when they really can't think beyond the scope of their underwear.
If she's interested in seeing you even after all these years, it's for a reason. 9 out of 10, she loves you like you love her (there is the 1 out of 10 chance she's coming to town to tell you she's getting married, and wants the roll in the hay she never had with you before she signs her life away to the other guy).
If she says she loves you, tell her how you feel, not just "me too", RIGHT THERE.
So what if you both end up hugging and sobbing in public and don't look "Metal" to everyone else? Everyone else can kiss your a$$, because it's not THEIR life, it's YOURS.
If you're mature enough to understand the difference between the feeling syou have for her and an erection, you're mature enough to decide whether moving near her is the right thing to do (but first, make sure she's not just coming to town to tell you she's getting married and wants the roll in the hay).
I think you'll have all the answers when she comes for the visit, whether you screw it up or get it right.
