Though most women would tell Rihanna to run for the hills, her heart may be pulling her in the other direction – and that's a powerful organ to ignore", she continued.

Patti gives Rihanna a break on the situation and says, 'We have all loved a guy we know has issues. Despite popular opinions, until we give it a final try, the relationship will always be in the "what if" stage. In order to get that out of her system, Rihanna can take Chris back in stride – but watch it closely with her circle of friends and family. Together they can see if Chris has, in fact, changed."

The Millionaire Matchmaker also suggested for them to seek couples counseling at least once a week and that, "showing affection and grand romantic gestures are not enough. In order to feel safe with her ex, Rihanna needs to see how Chris handles pressure, jealousy and anxiety. Spending at least six months seeing each other on a steady basis, doing normal things out of the spotlight will reveal if this couple can make it."

The final verdict: "Listen to your gut. If it feels right, do it. If it doesn't, then you know you gave it a try and you can let it go in order to leave the door open for true love."

Do you think Rihanna should get back together with Chris?
