I will say to hello him and maybe have a small chat about general things. I will not be embarrassed and I will just think of him like all my friends. But that is just depends on how he react too.. I wont be an enemy for the one I've ever in love.. I've ever met my ex bf that hurt me before and I feel like I never want to see him again, but when we accidentally met I just say hi and treat him like a friend. I am glad I did it because now I dont hate him anymore..

The meaning of Love means forgiveness. If I Love, I love to heart. In Love I accept avery thing, suppose it fails, I forgive him, and accepts him as a good friend atleast.So, when I came across my former lover, I feel at least the feeling of meeting a good old friend. I Don't love any one, who can not be even a friend.

I'm not embarassed when I see an ex. Some of us are still friends and on speaking terms. If I see someone with whom I am on good terms, I will certainly say hello to them. Other ex's and I no longer get along, so I will usually avoid/ignore them because I don't like them and there is no point in speaking to them at all. I don't care to socialize with some of them any longer. So it all depends, but I don't get per se embarassed.

you're right to treat them differently.just as you said above,it's rather up to the current relation betwwen us not the past station that he was my exboyfriend.

yeah i did feel a little bit embarrsed at such situation. when i met my fomer lovers, especially when they are together with others, i do not go ahead to say hello but walk away and see them in distance,it is a special feeling. i guess when i meet them alone maybe i would like to go to them and say hello, 'cause we have shared a period of intimate relationship, it's hard to forget.

yes,it's really embarrased to meet your exboyfriend with his new partner. different from you, in that case,i'll come to say hello to him and pretend to be normal as possible as i can,at least,i'll not let his new girlfriend realize our special relations.

I think it depends because there are many reasons for two lover's break up. As it for me, I broken up with my exboyfriend when I found out that he had relationship with another women and me. So I told him that I never want to see him again. But if we do meet again occasionally, I will not be embarrassed because it wasn't my fault and he should be the one who feel embarrassed and ashamed!

yes,i agree with you. in that case,he certainlly should be embarrassed and ashamed to see you,since he had done such dirty things.

I have one where I'd rather run the other way. He was very possessive and constantly wanted to know where I am. Even after I broke up with him he kind of stalked me for a while thinking that I lied and that there is another guy. I simply had enough of him, lol. Anyhow, I dated him way back when I was still in school and since I moved far away from home it's unlikely I run into him unless I go an visit my parents (which because of the distance is very rare). I do take a detour, if I see him on those rare occasions (small town), but if it is unavoidable, I say hi and walk on. No sense in pretending I don't know him, but I surely don't want to chit-chat, lol.

I think you can just remain as normal and casual. If the other party acknowledges you then just accord with the necessary courtesy. If the both of you cannot be together as a couple but that does not mean that the both of you cannot remain as casual friends. Lest either one of you is unwilling. I do greet my ex(s) when we meet and they are my friends as well to this day.

yes,i seem to be too nervous and put pressure on both of us. i should relax a little and remain to be normal and casual just like you said. thanks for your instructive advice.

It happaned to me once and I don't feel embarrased but just don't want to talk to him not even greeting him. Just walk past pretending not to see him.

As much as possible, I see to it that we parted as friends or at least in good terms, so that if we happen to come across each other, I will not feel embarrassed. I can look up to him and spend a few lines of conversation with him.

I have never been in this situation yet, because i have not a ex-boyfriend. However, if i break apart with my boyfriend, i'll never be friends with him again. To me, be lover or be enemy. There is only one choice. So if i come across my former lover, i'll pretend that i never know him,and walk away.

Why be embarrassed? you had something then it was gone, I have a few ex's and I am friends with all of them. I ask how they are doing and they do the same, we shared time and memories together, why act as though they never happened, that would be like saying you are ashamed of the time you spent together instead of learning form that experience.

i guess you still love that guy a little and just can't forget him soon. while we can give our problems to time,nothing can left as times goes by.

yes, i am really embarrassed when i encouter my ex-girlfriend, especially when she nowadays starts a new relationship with one of my best classmates, which kinda makes me feel not that comfortable. but for me since we had so nice days before, in my mind after all we are still friends and i'd like to be used to it graudally and bless her sincerely. haha,certainly wish me luck. merry chrismas and have a good holiday.

i have seen them already both. i did not feel embarrassed around them, just a bit shy cause our friends are still teasing us.. which i hate. i think grown ups should not do that anymore. hehe i have no feelings for them whatsoever so i guess it was okay to have seen them again and it is actually nice to be able to talk to them again. :)
