Interpret ex girlfriends message.

[kaliber]

So... My ex wrote me an e-mail a week ago stating she wanted to see me and hang out because she missed spending time with me but only as friends. I told her I was busy and I would take a rain check. She ran into me Sunday while I was on a date and tried to talk to me. It was awkward. Two days later, I sent her an e-mail saying my schedule was less busy and I could meet her. She sent this in response. Please give me your honest interpretation.

 

 

I suggested before that we get together because I thought it might help things between us to not be so awkward. I knew that we would eventually run into each other ( I didn't think it would happen so soon), and I wanted things to be okay between us when we saw each other. Naturally, it was awkward because it was the first time we have seen each other, and you were with a girl. I just don't know if meeting will help us not be strange around each other, or if it will just be uncomfortable the whole time. I was fine seeing you, but I felt like you were uncomfortable. We don't have to meet, I just want to be able to say hi to you if I see you out.

 

Tell me your honest thoughts. We don't have to push anything if it's not necessary. I want us both to be able to move on comfortably.

You don't give a lot of background information, how long your relationship was, how long you were broken up, who did the breaking up and why.

 

It sounds like she wanted to possibly get back together and her seeing you with someone was hard for her so now she's pulling back. I can understand that.

 

It could be it's too soon for you to resume contact. She should not have talked to you when you were with someone else, that is awkward in itself. She should have just said hi and moved on.

 

I would probably respond something like:

 

Hello...I think it's a bit soon to see each other but of course if we run into each other, a simple "hi" is always in order. I don't feel any animosity towards you and wish you well.
