About a year ago I had a "thing" with a former co-worker. We didn't go all the way but it was getting pretty hot and heavy.

 

In any case, we were both drunk and I realized after the fact that he wasn't the right guy for me.

 

Fast forward to this week -- he sent me a note just to say "hi" and ask how I'm doing. Should I just ignore him to make sure he doesn't get any hope? It's been such a long time and it's not like we're friends or anything.

Tell him youre not interested in him or he will keep trying. Ignoring does not work with guys like it works for women.

Thanks - do you mean flat out, even if he hasn't asked for anything?

I say play dumb until he gets more persistant.

 

If he says "Hi" and you say "Uh i'm not interested" you would sound like a total B*TCH. You want to keep your reputation and dignity.

Thanks... That's why I thought I could just not respond to him. We no longer work together, we have no common friends... Just weird that he emails me after all this time.

This is true, only if he persists. Dont answer all of his texts. You will be able to see when he pushes.
