redrose123 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Hey everyone So I've heard that when you are finally almost over your ex/moved on that they can sense it and subconsciously want you to still want them and I think that's what's happened with my ex but I wanted some opinions. Basically, my ex and I work together and we never speak to each other unless we directly pass by each other, we will say hi and that's it. We work in a grocery store but in different departments so we don't run into each other too often. There is a new guy who started working in the department my ex works in and he is really good looking and always smiles and waves at me when he sees me. Apparently, he didn't know that my ex and I used to date and about a week ago he went up to my ex and started talking about me and saying I was cute and my ex informed him that we had dated. I figured my ex really wouldn't care since he's been dating someone new for almost 2 months. Fast forward to today and I was working on an aisle this morning and my ex came around the corner of the aisle to find me and started talking to me. He was asking me questions about my life, school, how I've been doing, making jokes, and a bunch of other random things. We talked for about 20 minutes. It was so random because he hasn't actually come up to talk to me in months. Normally, he seems to do whatever he can to make sure he doesn't run into me. Then later on in the day, he passed by me and smiled. Normally he just says hi with no expression. Now I feel like I am all messed up. I was doing so good, I even started to have a small crush on the new guy at work. I would never think of dating him because that would just make things too complicated, but I had been getting that nervous, giddy feeling when I was around him. I'm not even thinking of the new guy now. It frustrates me because I feel like I was sucked back in by my ex and have taken a few steps back in my healing process. Could it be that my ex knows this new guy likes me and it is hurting his ego to think that I may like him back? Ugh I'm so angry. Thank you for reading!
Keenly Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Do you remember when you were a child. You had that toy that you had had for years, played with it for many many hours. But you got bored of it, so you put it away. Then your friend comes over, and as soon as they pick it up and start playing with it... you want it back. That is literally all that is happening here. Your ex is subconsciously trying to assert dominance over your male co worker by trying to take what the co worker wants. Do not take his advances seriously. I strongly suggest you heed my advice. 1
