<human>: I broke up with my (ex) girlfriend a year and a half ago. We were completely in love, and I say this with sincerity. I know I'm young, but I do understand love. I ended it at about one year because the "honeymoon stage" was gone, and I took that as a sign of bad things to come. I now understand that that was a bad decision. I've regretted breaking up with her since I did it. We went though the awkward stage where we didn't talk at all. Then we became friends again, but not too close. Now suddenly, we're at another awkward stage where we seem to both have realized how much we want to be together. **Problem**: I haven't had a real discussion with her for a year and a half. Communication is now shut down between us. But I constantly see her due to a similar class schedule at college. Is it wise to try to take a step towards dating again? How would I do it?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Is it safe or prudent to try to restart a relationship with someone that you had an awkward year and a half-long "break" from?
