A week ago I just bumped into my ex, a girl I dated when I was a teenager. I did not recognise her immediately. I was not certain whether it was her or not since fifteen years have passed since I last saw her. Would you have stopped and talked to her?

yes, I would have stopped and talk to her. Just to see how she is doing, and how life has treated her. I find it very interesting to know what has been going on in people lives. Has she changed much? Weren't you curious at all?

I probably would have. I still have fondness for all my past boyfriends and even for my ex-husband. Are you sorry you didn't speak to her?

If there are no longer any hidden feelings that could jeopardize your current relationship, or marriage....why not? I ran into an ex-husband who I'd not seen for over 20 years. It was a marriage right out of high school, and didn't last very long - a mistake from the beginning. When I ran into him, it was like having a friendly chat with a stranger. It's kind of nice to be able to chat for a moment when there was no longer any feelings, old animosities, and blame for the failed marriage. We'd both moved on with our lives, and while our past together didn't matter anymore, it did still happen.

A simply "hi" I wouldn't think would be so bad, but then there is an ex of mine that I don't think I would have said anything to either. I guess it just depends on your own situation and the relationship you had with the girl. If you question it then was there a little excitement in seeing her again? Are you in a relationship now?

Hi friend! It must be an exciting momen t when you saw your ex friend after a such a long time. You could have gone and had a word with her. If you have done that you wont be that much felt bad about the situation. well hour has passed. Happy myloting and have a good day.

That depends on the situation, if both are alone and time permits. You could have. Actually once back she was your angel and the best too. So spending time with the missed one is nothing wrong and even you could have had a cup of tea/coffee too. Nothing is lost to regain my friend, World is a circle like peoples always tends to meet again.

I would not have, ex's are for the past, not to be revisited, because no matter how much time has passed, some type of feeling my be felt when you are around this person.

Ahh~ Would that have meant that you have never really gotten over your ex, since he/she is still able to evoke some sort of feelings from you? Think about it?

No, not really for me, I just do not like revisiting the past and when I go back, I feel the same emotion, even though I am totally over them.

I had met this incident happened to myself too. We have been separated since 6 years from now and one day i was on my way to work and i took train. At the station i need to transfer to other train just at that time, i saw him walking out from the train. We stopped and greet each other, of course will abit shy but we still can be friend. :)

My question is, do you have painful experience with her? If you don't have then you should stop and talk her.

I still get along with most of my ex's. If I ever see one of them out somewhere and I know it's them then I will stop and talk to them. I saw one ex at the race track one day and I stopped and talked to him. Then I saw he was on myspace and added him as my friend because his family is still friends with my family. We send messages to each other sometimes but that's it. We are still friends but nothing more.

No I wouldnt have, I mean who's to say if she recognised you or not and you did say you werent sure. Can you imagine if you went and said hi and it wasnt her or if you went and said hello and she didnt remember you!! Ex's are in the past and should stay that way!!

You should of stopped and talked to her since you haven't seen her in a long time. I see my ex once in awhile, but I don't talk to him, things ended badly, and I don't even want to see him anywhere, and if I do, I don't say anything to him...It just depends on how things ended for you.

if I saw someone that I had a past relationship with I think it depends on how we separate.. if in good terms I think I would stop and greet if not I won't
