Running into old boyfriends

    Ran into a guy I dated briefly nearly fourteen years ago while hanging out with some friends last night. It must have been about six years since I last saw him but we kind of fell back into just an easy going conversation you can have with some people even if it has been ages since you last saw them.

    It got me to thinking, what do YOU do when you run into old boyfriends? Do you welcome it as a chance to catch up with an old buddy OR run in the other direction!?!

    As long as we parted on friendly terms, I'm all for reconnecting with exes. Just because our romantic relationship didn't work out, that doesn't mean we can't have a friendly one. In my opinion, that's what the gay community needs a lot more of right now. We tend to get involved with guys, break up, and then head in opposite directions, and it makes us all loners with very few gay friends.

    Of course, it takes two to tango. I've made several overtures to my ex, and there's always been an excuse not to meet up, and I haven't heard anything back from him. Sigh, nothing much you can do about that.

    Walk away, I'll be civil and say hi, but I won't make the effort to go talk to them. Even if time has passed, it still hurt.

    One of my exes hid from me. I saw him. It was hilarious. He broke up with me though.

    I'm friendly to them. I try not to hold onto the past for several reasons, but when they are acting strangely I will call them out on it.

    I guess part of it depends how the relationship ended - weather it was mutual, acrimonious, etc.

    I'm only okay with one of my exes. If I met the other two, I'd turn and walk the other direction.

    me running into old boyfriends is kind of impossible since it sort of requires you to have HAD boyfriends in the past. icon_confused.gif

    It doesn't hurt to be friendly with an ex if things ended amicably and if time has passed long enough beyond the awkward period! I wouldn't attempt to become friends... Just remain friendly!

    So far I've been lucky...never even once ran into an ex anywhere.

    If that ever happens, I'll deal with it gracefully.
