sigurpol Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Not really asking "what should I do?!", just thought I'd share this and see if anyone else has run into something like this. Of course, FaceBook always finds a way to make things unnecessarily awkward. Earlier this year, my ex from 2007 adds me back on Facebook. I pondered over the request, reading into it. Finally I accept. Low and behold, we don't say a word to one another for months and months, until my birthday. After her wishes, I messaged her and said we should catch up sometime (since she lives in my city now.. we used to have a LDR for about three years). She responds that day and says that's a good idea! But adds, we should get all of our close friends to come too, make it an outing... Not really what I was going for. At this point, I know nothing is going to happen, and I took her message as "I'm gonna play along and be nice, but throw a curveball because I didn't want to meet up with you". So I play back and just say that sounds like a good idea, let me know some weekend if you ever want to. A month goes by and I try my luck again, asking if she's free some weekend to get drinks. Same answer, "My friends and I are kinda busy this weekend, I don't know when I'll be free." Point taken. As I'm going through my friend list earlier today, I decide to just remove her and other people because it's pointless to keep in touch. Later, I go out with some friends to get drinks for a going-away party. I step outside to make a phone call and see someone walking toward the bar/grill, pointing at me. It's my ex.. with HER ex-boyfriend after she dumped me for the guy, haha. This is the first time I've seen her out in my city since she moved here last yearish. She waves and says hi(!), and I said hey while pointing at my phone. It's a big place, so I figured I wouldn't bump into her, but she comes over to me at one point, gives me a hug and we chat for about 15 minutes. Catching up on stuff... basically, doing what I asked her to join me on about 3 months ago. Eventually, she mentions that she moved to a different part of the city.. an area that's right where I live. She says that she's having a party there next month and I should go. Adding, she'll send me an invite on facebook. Seriously? I just played along. I was going to give myself up and say, look, I won't be getting the invite because we're not "friends" on there anymore. But, I don't know. It wasn't even worth getting into at that point. She says she has to get back to her friend (we both know who the hell he is) and she'll talk to me later. I don't know, the whole situation threw me for a loop. I wanted to share it.
