ex-boyfriend and work....

ok so my ex-boyfriend and I work at the same place, but I work under a different supervisor and basically we never work together. (i used to work with him but got a promotion)

when we broke up it wasnt really clean...and so things are kinda akward btwn us. when ever he does see me he never acknowledge's my presence, and yesterday for example a bunch of his co-workers came and said hi to me (we all used to be very friendly) but for what ever reason he did'nt come over with the rest of them.

yet later on when I was finishing up my job and walking around I noticed that he kept staring at me and watching me! WTF is up with that??? yet when io turned to look back he would quickly turn his head in another direction.

I've smiled at him previously just as a friendly jesture but he seems so tentative and scared sometimes. :frown: its not so much I feel bad that he ignores me but I feel bad for him that he can not even bring himsef to say "hey"...

why do you guys think he acts like this.

oh, we went out fr one entire summer and were great friends beforhand....

I really do sympathise with you. MY ex boyfriend and me were in a similar situation, where we looked at each other from a distance but could never talk. I reckon he misses being with you in some ways, either because he still has feelings for you, or because he is just simply missing a great friend who now he seems to have lost. Did you break it off with him? If you did, it might be the case of him wanting to be friends again but still feeling very hurt

ya I originally broke it off with him because of his mother and our age at the time... his mom hated the fact that we spent so much time together, I think she felt that I was taking him away from her...i dont know?

We were both 17 at the time and (I'm 18 now) and were both virgins. I felt that things were heating up bewteen us a little too fast, and with our different uni dreams I knew that any sort of long term relationship wouldnt be fair to us in the end.......

I would be in the UK and he would in the US, plus we went to diff

...did you finish your post??
anyway :smile: while you do that. I'll just say that I completely sympathise with you, because my mom used to be like that (shes a lot cooler now though). What was your bf's reaction like when you broke up with him? Did you tell him the reasons? Did you guys talk about these problems before you broke up with him? It could be that he feels you didnt like him enough to stick with him and work it out. Or maybe he's frustrated because you didn't talk about your worries and thoughts with him and just broke up...? Clarify please xxx
Just ignore him, although he is probably hurt it got broken off, us guys go like that then we get dumped, he probably wants to forget you and move on with his life but everytime he see's you he can't, it's probably best just to leave him on his own.
