Meeting Your Ex
I met my ex yesterday.2 years of absolutely no contact and then I get a tap on the shoulder while sitting in the park. Remember me?
So we decided / felt obliged to have a coffee together.
Have you ever had one of those conversations in which the other person gives you one word answers and doesn't direct ANY questions back at you?
Well, it was one of those. Awkward to say the least! So many long, painful silences.
After finishing this wonderful little tete a tete I concluded that:
Drinking coffee while not speaking is something best done alone.
A thought for the day if you will.

You should have brought her for beer, at least then the awkward silence would not have been until the next morning
maybe like non say have a beer when u met her
At her place - it makes the running away part that much easier!
Seriously though. I felt like a Gestapo interrogator painfully extracting Russian military secrets.
She was returning from the dentist high as kite with a sore numb mouth. Perhaps the event is just a hazy Illusion to the girl
Yeah, we exchanged numbers at the end of it all, but I can't see myself calling her. I'd feel like a glutton for punishment after yesterday.
Being friends with an ex is great under the right circumstances. In this case, however, I reckon there's a reason we've not heard from each other in a couple of years.
I thought it was just the effect of my manly charms, but you could be right on the money there. ;)
It's all ancient history now. To keep the water metaphor going, one awkward coffee is just a drop in the ocean compared to everything that went on before. I'm not sweating it too much :)
all Exs needs to manage own life and move on. for me i prefer to have an expresso alone, when i talk to myself.
just a question.. .What do you or your ex stand to gain from meeting?
I'd say we both stand to gain precisely nothing! We just bumped into each other by chance. We exchanged numbers (almost certainly out of mutual politeness) but I can't see us meeting again!
humm exchange numbers... that is a risk vs. reward.. i think.
I try to make a relationship work before it ends, so by the time it usually ends, I'm sick to my teeth to the stuff I had to listen to.
Not friends with any of my ex, I do wish them well but have no desire whatsoever to talk to them let alone sitting down for a coffee.
I quite like sitting down on my own with a book and drinking a big caramel frappuchino though.
I know what you mean about letting sleeping bears lie. I reckon it's for the best!
EXCEPT one time. This woman wanted to keep hanging on and she was a gorgeous doll. So, I took her out for her birthday in my old beat up car that ran great. She didn't seem to like that and we've never run into each other again! Which was fine with me.

If she was your ex and you had coffee together, I just hope she didn't slip anything in your coffee
