Why does my ex just stare at me when he sees me, but doesn't say hi?

[Anonymous]

We broke up a while ago... 5 months? 4 months? Only dated for 2 ish. It's really odd... he broke up with me... but it was pretty mutual. It just wasn't working and he wasn't willing to try. He asked for no contact which I felt was kind of silly. He said that I gave him a confidence boost and that I really changed his world for the better. I told him he did the same for me. Seems like we could be friends from that?

However, he still wanted no contact... now, whenever I see him out, he just kind of stares at me... he has this same uncomfortable face like he doesn't want to look, but that he can't help not looking. I was about to wave at him once and he looked away quickly. It's like he wants us to be strangers, but he can't help but admit to him self that we know each other.

Our relationship ended fast... I'm pretty sure he was only really infatuated with me. It was a very passionate relationship, but there was never much intimacy when it came to sharing our personal lives... He never seemed to want to open up to me

Maybe he stills misses you now but doesn't know what to say to you, or also he may think that he was that it was the wrong decision to end your relationship

Maybe you could talk to him via Facebook or text and just ask if everything is alright

I might... I'm most likely moving out of the city after I graduate in 5 weeks! Maybe he'll want to meet up one more time?

I used to be like him after I broke up with my first girlfrined he wants you back and is probably still thinking of you but he's still upset or angry you guys broke up

[Asker]

Hm. Then why'd he break up with me to begin with? Well, I guess I do know. He said I was almost "the one" but not quite... and that he didn't want to invest anymore even though he liked spending time with me and he liked me as a person. We only dated like 2 months. It was crazy. He wanted me to meet his parents and everything... then less than a week later he was just like I'm failing in school, you deserve more time, I'm not feeling it and I don't have time to work on it and that was that.

Sounds like he made a mistake breaking up with you it happens often.

[Asker]

Oh, that's sad. I met up with him two months after we dated and it was super awkward. He still had my toothbrush! and when I said just throw it away he was like I don't know which one it is... so not true. He threw away my lotion and was going to re-buy it... he knew the name and the brand too. He bought me new tupperware because he threw mine out. It was all so odd. Really uncomfortable talk though. He never took the time to get to know me. I asked for a 2nd chance and he said he doesn't believe in them.

[FourStar]

WOW the guy sounds plain weird then lol

[Asker]

hahaha he's like... indecisive or something? idk. He made it so awkward though! I was just looking for a nice catch up conversation. lol how come he sounds so weird?

[FourStar]

Ok maybe I read it wrong he's not weird just maybe he's not very well spoken and comes of as weird form the way you decribe him

[Asker]

no it's okay. I really appreciate your point of view. I think he should have taken the 2nd chance even if it were a mistake.

[FourStar]

Yeah I think unless its and ugly break up everyone needs a second chance. ;-)

I did enjoy this little chat though.

[Asker]

I did too! Thanks so much. It wasn't an ugly breakup at all. I even agreed with him that we weren't emotionally connected... that was the only reason we broke up really. He just didn't want to give it more time
