My ex dumped me months ago after almost a year of dating because she said she didn't feeel as passionate and lovingly with me as she should with someone she is to spend the rest of her life. I admit that it hurt and I tried to get her back at the time, but she said no.
Since we have mutual friends, travel in the same circles, and I would like to keep things civil, I always say hi and bye to her the few times I see her around now.
The last time I saw her was on my walk to work in the morning. She saw me first and probably would have kept walking if I had not noticed her. I smiled and waved. She waved and barely smiled. She looked forced into responding to me. I did not approach her at all and have never contacted her after the breakup.
Do women find it creepy if an ex smiles, waves, or says hi at them? I don't want to be rude and I don't want to be enemies with my ex, but she has been cold to me and am wondering if should just ignore her from now on.
By the way, when I first saw my ex months after we broke up and no contact, she was somewhat warm to me. But then when her friends started telling her that I was out socializing with women and going dates here and there, she suddenly became cold towards me. I don't quite get why. After all, she dumped me and told me she wante to remain friends.

To clarify, I am the one who is initiating the contact with the ex when I see her. The title may be confusing.
However, I do not contact her otherwise under any circumstances. After all, she dumped me and told me not to contact her again. Even though she said she was willing to be friends down the road. But I don't she was sincere given her recent behavior.

Thanks, all, especially the ladies for the input. I remember I dated a woman who worked as a librarian who told she thought it was creepy when strange men would approach with a big smile to ask her questions.
I wanted to strike the right balance with my ex to demonstrate that the I am happy despite the breakup, have no hard feelings, and will not be chasing her like all her other pathetic exes.

Well, as one person here suggested, my ex did come around and initiated a hello to me when I last ran into her in the street.
I am wondering now if it's best to let this be the end of my interaction with her and avoid any future events where I am bound to run into her. I would prefer to leave things on a positive note.
There some social events in the fall which my friends would want me to attend, but which my ex will also attend, possibly with a guy. Thoughts?
Thanks.

It really sucks when you miss someone and you can't do a damn thing about it!

I keep running into her on my way to work. I know I shouldn't care what she think, but I don't want her to get the impression that I am following her around. I can't help that we work in the same city and the same avenue (opposite directions). Maybe I should try to go to work at a slightly different time and direction.
Ladies, would you find it creepy or stalking if you ran into your ex a couple of times on the way to work? This is the the third time this summer this has happened.
