Fate or no fate, I was driving home today with my girlfriend and I bumped into one of my ex-girlfriends at a traffic light. She was standing there waiting to cross while I was in the car ... She didn't recognize me when she walked passed in front of me because I changed cars before. I wanted to say something to her but obviously doing so is gonna start a roar with my girlfriend next to me. What would you guys do, knowing that it's gonna take alot of fate to repeat such a scenario to see her again on the streets and you no longer have any means of contacting her while you still wanted to keep contact for whatsoever reasons.

 

hey man, i hear ya. just the other day i saw my ex with my wife next to me, and i couldn't say a word (and she looked the same while i gained a good 30 pounds...)

bad memories.

 

Judging from your continued interest in this, you were probably fortunate you had to let it go. As to the new one, if she'd roar if you talk to an old one keep looking! Particularly if she still hasn't made you forget about the last one.

 

I can't say I share the same instances with you guys. I really sometimes wonder what would happen if I bumped into an ex. One eve, with Sondra and her friend Dave, I ran into this one older woman that well.. I was sitting there telling them about this affair (just meant in a relationship kind of way, we were both single at the time so dont get any negative thoughts), and telling them about well... stuff in general. And sure enough, she was there that night at this one place. They kept teasing me about her and I took off my glasses and pretended not to see. I'm sure if I wanted "something" *ahem* from her, I could have by snapping my fingers (not being total ego maniac, its just how it was in this particular relationship), but I didn't want to. I believe relationship end for the most part and should not be revisited, nor 'going back to the ex' for a convenience factor nor safety measure BS. I'm sure you get the jist of what I am getting at.

 

drop off your girlfriend somewhere, follow your ex, get her number, then pick up your girlfriend then tell her it was an emergency.

 

Run the bitch over!!

 

I ran into an ex I dated in university, at the time of break up she did a big rant on "You'll never amount to shit", "You're a loser and will be lucky to meet anyone as loving as me" Yeah heh it makes me giggle my ass of now.

When I saw her I was taken aback, really kinda freaked out inside for a few seconds and then just dealt with it nicely. She was somewhat terse until she saw what I was driving, wearing, buying etc. I just blew her off with a See ya and I'm going home to my wife.

Was hard not to rub in any succeses etc, but hey who needs to start a messy situation in public.

I did want to however

 

Unknowingly to my fiance, about six months ago, my psycho ex-girlfriend called me. She wanted to "hook" up again....my guess is that she broke up with her last lover.

She is a type of girl that adores attention but always has her mind on material possessions. She wants a man that can lavish her with attention (morning, noon, and night), yet be ambitious enough to bring home the bacon so she can be lavished with material objects.

Well in college, I could only give her the attention she craved for short periods of time; I had my studies, my jobs, my business, and my mind on making somehting of myself.

Eventually I broke up with her, she went psychotic, and had a fake pregnancy (for which she blamed me for). We played the make up to break up routine for about a couple of months at when I finally ended it when I started dating someone else exclusively. She resented and hated me for it....enough so that she keyed my Prelude badly. She always said that I wasn't $h!t and wouldn't ever amount to anything...but I think in her heart she knew that I'd be somebody.

Anyway, back to the original thought....she called and I just heard the nervousnous and guilt in her voice. I always thought that I'd act like a bastard to her, however, I was very cordial. I even asked how she was doing, if she had any kids, if she was married yet, seeing anyone, etc. She asked me in return just as a facade to her real intentions. I told her how I was doing in work life, how I was buying a new home, got a couple of new toys, and "...oh yeah, I'm now engaged and will be marrying April 6, 2002."

Normally pauses in conversations are considered awkward...however, this pause was rewarding, at least to me.

I'll never forget that moment!!! I hope I do run into her in person!!

 

just say hi...let you new gf know who she is...she should be adult enough to deal with it...if not she'll have to get over it...my gf and i don't care who we talk to...we're confident enough in our trust for each other

 

I actually ran into a really old ex-girlfriend while eating at a restaurant. I didn't recognize her at first, but right before she left, I went and talked to her. I just introduced her to my current girlfriend and it was no big deal. Maybe your girlfriend needs to grow up a little and trust you more.
