My ex girlfriend (dumper) stares at me from afar which sends me mix signals but avoids eye contact, what does it actually mean?

The face expression I get from her is not intimidating at all more like observing/regret

She broke up with me 5 months ago (she wanted to focus on herself) since than I strictly applied no contact. I do want to mention we work in the same workplace environment so we come across each other every once in a while. She had not seen me for 5 months since I was out due to injury and I just return back to work a week ago but since than she will stare while I’m not looking from a distance and I noticed from the corner of my eye but avoids eye contact when in front of me. It confuses me.

It could mean she misses you, it could be that she’s trying to see if you’ll flirt to get her ego going, or it could be anything. If she dumped you leave her ass be and find someone else. If she misses you it’s her own fault.

And if she wants you back since she initiated the breakup. It should be her coming to you and

Dude that is so weird and confusing. The fact that she's your ex but she's like staring at you from afar is definitely sending mixed signals. On one hand, if she broke up with you to focus on herself, she shouldn't be checking you out like that. But at the same time, she must still be feeling something to keep looking your way.

Honestly, it sounds like maybe she regrets breaking up since it's been 5 months. She's probably wondering what you've been up to since you were gone for so long. But then she gets all shy and doesn't make eye contact when you're actually together. That's so lame of her, ha. She needs to make up her mind.

I'd say don't make a move or anything yet. Play it cool when you see her. Pretend you don't even notice her staring. The ball's in her court now if she regrets the breakup. Let HER come to YOU if she really wants to talk again or get back together. Don't give in too easy though! Make her work for it after pulling that "focusing on herself" crap and leaving you hanging for months. You deserve better than those mixed signals, bro. Just stay calm and casual for now. See what happens!

Not regret, she is trying to glare angry, not showing it well.

Don’t understand why the need to be angry when she called it off
