I've also read some of your previous threads. The preference for a physical type (in your case "Indian girls") is one thing many people have. It may push you into repetitions, wanting to get it right eventually - look at this thread:

I've certainly had a few versions of this "compulsion" in my life regarding relationships and other things. What I'm currently struggling with a little (not always just a little): that a few years ago when I entered my current relationship, I pretty much broke that "repetition compulsion" thing. It felt ideal for me for a while... until I had some sober time, to be honest. I'm dealing with this, once again, after >4 months of sobriety, because it was never truly resolved.

Like others said, I also hope it goes well. Please be aware that people, even if they have moved on from past experiences, are normally not insensitive to past-present connections. I hope you will respect your ex-gf enough, and that you will be able to be honest with yourself enough.
T-6 hours. I'm glad I saw this post before I went. I think I agree with you. I have a certain type that I like and that's who I am. I will stick with the type even if I get hurt because I think you are right. If I go for a different type I may not be happy in the long run.

On your second point. I don't know how "over" me she is. She is obviously concerned enough to meet with me. I'm going to try and keep a good composure throughout the meeting. I certainly hope I don't reopen the wound. However, the wound healed while I was drinking...and so I never really dealt with the emotion of the break up properly. So if it hurts to see her and the wound is opened. This time I can heal the proper way.
