A chance meeting with the ex is one of the texts I had written about my favorite instyle.gr.
There is no doubt that if not all of us, but some of us, in the back of our minds have had a small hope of seeing our ex again by chance in front of us, either because we want to be with him again, or because we have common friends and are anxious to catch up with him on a joint outing, or we are in the same workplace and want to see him, even if it's in a joint meeting or in the hallway.
Many times, some of us might even go "randomly" to the places he frequented with the intention of catching up with him, but at the same time we would become a nuisance, since even children don't do that.
Other times we begged to get him as if there were no other men, I know, and we got stuck with the ex and wanted to keep eating our faces.
Everything always happens for a reason and no matter how much you pray for something to happen, it never happens, but it will happen when you least expect it and then you won't even care!
And the fact that she's begging someone to get over her ex is a little ridiculous, since she can easily move on with her life and leave the past behind her because she won't be wearing blinders anymore and will have found the next guy who will finally make her break away from her ex.
But how does a divorced woman feel about a chance meeting with her ex? Does her heart beat like crazy with excitement or does she no longer care much?
Right now, so as not to keep you in suspense, I'll quote:
1. If you are newly separated, it is completely logical that when you accidentally see your ex, you feel a sense of panic and want to run into his arms and talk to him. This is a don't! If you happen to see him, you simply ignore him and move on as if nothing is happening, even if you are crying inside, because if you are still attached to him, you will not be able to find the next one or the right one for you. Staying stuck in the past is not good for you, especially in your psychology, and you are unnecessarily getting upset about something that is over.
2. If it's been a long time since you broke up, you can say a casual hello to him without much, but play it cool, because quite simply, you're superior to him and of course, I imagine you'll have finally found something much better!
3. You don't need to start blah blah as if you were two best friends who just lost touch and immediately start talking about what you're doing in your life, and that's because 2 exes don't need to be friends, because that will definitely hold you back, stuck, and don't admit it.
4. I hope you're not one of those women who, as soon as they see their ex, run like a fool towards him and start crying and asking for a reunion. Okay, beyond ridiculous, it's also tragic because you're taking things to a whole new level. Asking your ex to reconnect is like begging him - which you are, in fact, begging him - and he'll assume that you're the dog who's constantly running after him. Men want powerful women and they want them to run after them!
5. I hope you're not one of those women who, as soon as they see their ex, starts ranting and raving because he hurt you - clearly he deserves it, but you're superior to him -
So what should you do when you accidentally run into your ex?
- Of course you're overdoing it! Not many words, just a few, and well, don't tell you not to talk at all. Because if you talk then you're showing him that he's still burning you.
- If it has hurt you, you change the sidewalk.
- I guess you know the trick of pretending to be talking on your cell phone. So pretend to be talking to someone and avoid them.
- If you're in a bar or on the beach and you run into him and want to get revenge on him, it's better not to! Indifference, you know, breaks bones.
- If you're still burning and melting to talk to him, you decide what to say, if you want to, then yes, talk to him. But try not to be melodramatic and not cry.
I know that chance encounters with your ex sometimes put us in an awkward position, other times we realize that we are standing on our own two feet and are indifferent, and other times we act stupid and after this chance encounter we immediately want to run to send him a message that we were glad to see him - I will slap you if you do that - but still, do what you think is right for you.
And since it's summer, believe me, stop hoping for chance encounters with your ex, but try to hope for chance encounters with a new love who won't make you cry while eating family ice cream, but who will make you laugh and make you feel confident.
Being stuck in your past makes you miss opportunities that might be better than your previous choice.
If you still want to be alone, then enjoy your freedom and recharge your batteries for the new season that is coming!
