I can't relate to that really...

The only ex I had a thing for was my children's father. Because of the children we had to stay in contact.

I had a vulnerable moment, I started digging him after we all had a lovely day together...

so me being who I am (I never beat around the bush... ever) I asked him straight out if he wanted to stay the night and have sex.

He said no.

That one "no" was enough for me to shake off any residual feelings and never went there with him again.

This past Mother's day he went out of his way to try to woo me and begged me to be in his life again, I told him to fuck off.

I never remain friends with my exes. Its just how I am, so if I see an ex, I wouldn't have a "thing" for him... I'd keep on strutting keeping my eye on new possibilties only.

All of the above.

A-I'd see him and run and hide to avoid contact.

B-He'd recognize my hair (curly afro) and somehow catch up to me.

c-This would turn into a long chat over Starbuck's about everything that went wrong last time, how we've been, who has it the worst this year....

d-which leads us to "other"--e mails that turn into visits that turn into spending the night.

My ex-wife I would still f*ck.

My ex-g/f I would like to f*ck but would be hesitant because I worry I could catch some shit she caught in the interim.

D. talk for a bit and ask if they want to hang out later.

Well th ex-wife I trust and feel safe with.

The g/f, not at all.

dunno!

the ex I might still have had a thing for I haven't seen in close to 16 years

he might no longer be attractive

I'd still have a coffee with him though have a look at photos of each others kids, him and his family should come over and have a BBQ with mine!

It would depend on the circumstances that made them an "Ex". And it would also depend on whether we saw each other, or if I just saw them.

Most likely (depending), I would say Hi, then keep it moving without further conversation.

I still talk to most of them. Talked to one of them for an hour and a half tonight. So it would probably be B, because I'd have already spoken with them (somewhat) recently.

I don't know...

I'm a friendly person and care for everyone. I also have a bleeding heart.

s**t....

B - Stop for a sec and say Hi.

Unless i'm having a day where I look like shit, in which case I would say A - Run and hide.

A, B or C - depends on which Ex. i've done D as well in the past, never usually a good idea though...

EXCEPT it's days when you look like shit, that people come up to YOU to say hi, lol. And you have nowhere to run, lol. Then, to make matters worse, they say something like "Oh, you look tired", or "Wow, what happened to you?", lol.

Isn't that always the way it goes?

I once bumped into an ex during an unexpected late-night dash to the supermarket. I honestly couldn't have looked any rougher if I tried.

Not sure. My exes live 5000 miles away. Slim chance I will see them.

I think when we feel like shit, it makes us vulnerable. And sometimes I think it's that vulnerability that draws people to us.

I would definitely do b. Depending on the circumstances, I would do c as well. Depending on what happened during chat and coffee, maybe d.

A.... because i am so embarrassed about my actions, poor guy he probably perfer i did that 2

if i saw them across the room i'd either leave or stay away from them. the whole idea of pursuing anything with anyone is tiring. i just cant be bothered with all the bells and whistles anymore

it could be any of them depending on the individual. boring answer, but it's true.

there are some i'd like to talk to and some i'd run from.
