Search Results: staring ex

I recently ran into my ex and it was very strange especially since we broke up 8 months ago. About a month ago, I was at her work, a movie theater and I was standing waiting for my date to leave the bathroom, and she walked by and I saw her in a mirror. From the moment she turned the corner she was starting at me and kept looking at me in an odd way. She kept staring at me until she went down the hallway.
My friend who was with me dubbed the look as 'i miss you eyes'. She looked at me like she did in the past. And that threw me for a loop
But I recently found out she's engaged and that didn't make sense in why she looked at me that way.
We broke up because she is a Mormon and I'm not. We struggled with the difference for 5 years. With the recent break up

I've been broken up with my ex for almost 7 months. We didn't end things well, and she walked off on me insisting she was over me and moved on.
I saw her the other night, and as she passed me, she was staring at me, she didn't seem angry, sad or anything bad. I can't really describe the look she gave me. But she knew it was me before I even turned around. She had obviously been looking at me for a while but after we made eye contact, I turned away and I could see she kept looking and eventually looked straight ahead. Does this show she still has feelings or cares?

Almost a year ago, my girlfriend and I broke up. Saying she couldn't date a non Mormon. After a few months I tried to fix things, and she said things weren't able to be fixed. She brought up other reasons for the break up, but they sounded like horse shit.
Anyway, I started to move on. I've dated again, and made my life better. But recently, my friend and I noticed my ex starting to show up on my social media, interacting with it, but not reaching out.
He believes that when we broke up she was on a religious high with her church because she took a higher step within it. He thinks now she is calming back down and seeing how I'm doing. Seeing of I'm doing good without her.
The other day, I saw her and when she noticed me, she was just staring at me, I looked back at her but went about my business. She looked at me almost like she did when we dated
My friend thinks, now she knows I'm doing better without her and she's lost her hold on me. He believes she will reach out to me again and I'll have to decide to let her in or kick her out for good.

Is my friend right?
