How to act when I see ex-boyfriend at school?

Question

*I'm asking in this section for more experienced answers and possibly an older crowd.

I had a 2 month relationship with a guy, and we broke up. (I know, not very long--but long enough to feel awkward when I see him again). I wrote him a letter, and he never responded, so you can see how it'd be awkward for me. I think I know how to act in general, just indifferent...but does anybody have any tips on how to handle seeing an ex boyfriend (for the first time after the break up???) It will be 3 weeks since we have broken up when school starts. :-)

Answer 1

Just say hi and be civilized. I know how you feel, I had a 3 month thing with a girl and we had to walk past each other all the time.

Answer 2

i've been thru this - just act like he means nothing to you - he is a zero. work on putting on an act where you do not even acknowledge the least feeling for him whatsoever - he does not exist - and then reward yourself when you do a good job acting. later, when you find someone better, then will be the time to assess whether you should gloat and acknowledge that he lost out -*but by then you wil have totally moved on..  

Answer 3

act as if he is a stranger since you never had real break up.. wait till he approaches you first..

Answer 4

I think you are lost. Lol This is for marriage and divorce.  

Answer 5

Be friednly like you would be to any friend or acquaintenance  If he ignores you then ignore him.

Answer 6

I've been through the exact same thing hun.

Over and over and my mind banged into its senses and I know exactly what to do now in most situations such as these.

If you are young, forget about dating, completely. Just enjoy life with your friends before comitting actually happens, because we're married half our lives anyways, why hope for everything you've ever wanted now when you'll find it in the future without having to go through so much pain now?

Anyways, for you, just forget about him. Treat him with respect (you don't want him spreading rumours about you to his friends, not helpful!), but don't obsess over him, write him things or give him the attention he wants. He'll come back to you if he knows your strong enough to handle this. Just let him be. Take it from me hun! Don't let ANY guy make you weaker. Woman are suppose to be strong beings on earth. Stick to that and you won't let any guy crawl all over you. Ever again :)

I'll tell you a short story, not the full story but, my last boyfriend saw me in the hallway at school just after our breakup. I was walking, and laughing with my friends and I never looked at him ONCE and my friend glanced over quickly and saw him staring at me. It works, just don't bother to care about him anymore. He is looking for strength, so don't feed him any. You're the strong one, by not being too clingy about trying to make things better by getting angered and hissy about it about what happend in the 'past' just move forward without him and his idiot ways! (if he was an idiot in the relationship)

What I hate the most is when someone you once really liked, looks as if you were a total stranger. You still want to be a nice person without totally being mean to them. If he smiles and waves to you, say hi. But if he doesn't care about you, why give him attention?
