Well, the rumors have been confirmed. Justin Bieber dating Selena Gomez again! Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were seen “all over each other” on a Can-Am Spyder on Sunset Blvd looking happier than ever. Later that evening, the couple attended their good friend and music video director Alfredo Flores’ birthday celebration at L.A. hotspot Bootsy Bellows. The sizzling couple has reignited their love all over again, for now that is according to UsMagazine.com.Â
How do you know if you should give your ex a second chance?
Cupid’s Advice:Â
Second chances are risky. Love isn’t like baseball when you get a definitive three strikes rule, this is your heart we are talking about and it isn’t something to be toyed with. When it comes to giving your ex a second chance you have to go with your gut and see if there is something here to be fighting for:
1. They have made an effort to change: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. The same rule applies to human behavior. Obviously the way things were wasn’t working for the two of you together, so something has to give. If your ex has made a measurable effort to better himself for the sake of your relationship, that is something to take into account when granting a second chance to dating them again .

2. He has given you a sincere apology, and meant it: There isn’t much you can do with the words “I’m sorry.” After a while of hearing the repetitive apologies, they begin to lose their meaning. A real apology entails acknowledgment of their wrongdoing, recognition of the consequences, and a plan of action for what they’re going to do to improve. If your ex has sat you down, looked you in the eye, and apologized explicitly for whatever he may have done, that is credible.

3. Take your past into consideration: Was your relationship toxic? Did your nights end in tears more often than kisses? Can you see yourself dating this person again ? Relationships end in one of two ways: in a break up or they don’t end at all, you’re with them until you pass. If you can look into your past and smile about it, and look into the future and see him there, he may be worth the second shot, similar to what Selena Gomez did with dating Justin Bieber.
