Ex in the City: The Do’s and Don’t’s Of What To Do When Running Into An Ex!

9. DON’T Flirt With Him

No backsies. If the relationship is supposed to be over then let it be over! Besides, it may make you look desperate and make him feel more awkward than he already does – especially if he’s there with someone else or trying to let you down easy because he’s not feeling you anymore. Besides, you don’t want him back anyway remember? Don’t give him the satisfaction of even batting an eyelash at him. He had his chance. Let him go.

The bottom line is, you’re bound to run into an ex if you live in the same town/city, so deal with it. It’s life. Whether it was a bitter break up or not, all you have to do is remember why you’re not with the ex in the first place. Sure, seeing someone may make you want them back, especially if they’re looking great and happy. But you broke up for a reason…so let it go. You can’t hide forever, nor should you expect your ex to. You can’t always control where or when you run into your ex, but you can control how you act when you do…no matter how you feel. Living a happy life is the best revenge, so if you focus on YOU after a breakup, seeing him or her again – no matter when or where – will be no big deal.
