>when is it okay to try to get back together after a break up?
when both of you miss each other and want to get back together
>when is it a bad idea?
when only one person really wants to get back together, and the other is just going along with it for lack of better options

Never. You obviously broke up for a reason, and if you get back together its only from leftover feelings that will die again.

Just stop.

Dumb advice. None of this stuff is black-and-white like that. There are some situations where you'd be right, but there are also lots of successful relationships that were on/off a few times

By that logic, there's no point in starting a new relationship with a new person either, because those feelings will die too, and we will all die one day

Youve never had a reason to break up with that person before, thats a huge difference for one.

Break ups cause drama and bad memories. Time in between spent with other people causes TONS of drama later down the road.

In 99.9% of cases, youre better off just starting clean.

well obviously if you get back together, then you've mutually decided that whatever reason actually WASN'T a reason to break up, right? So either it won't be a problem anymore, or you've learned how to deal with it and found a solution as a couple?

No, thats what I mean. Most the time its purely off of emotion, not from actually working through past problems.

And never underestimate women's love if bringing up the past

If you and your ex parted ways semi-amicably (both a little salty) how would you go about uh, tracking them down to "bump into?" I really just crave conversation with someone who "got" me, been pretty down lately.
