cheerstomymistakes Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Me and my ex have been broken up (mutually) for about a year now (he was my first boyfriend). We tried to remain friends after, but he kept coming on to me sexually (even after I said I didn't want it), so I cut him off completely; ignoring every form of communication he tried and he eventually stopped. However, after school started back up. I knew I would probably see him again, so I decided that I would acknowledge him again whenever I did, just to avoid possible drama. I did that, and I think it worked out; an occasional hug here and there, and occasional chit-chat. I began feeling more comfortable with him, and it was refreshing not having him come on as strong as he had so many times before. But again, after a few months he texted me over the holidays. I ignored this because I enjoyed just being an acquaintance. Fast forward to school again it's back to the usual. Until Valentine's day comes up. *Sigh* I'd just been having a really good day, and so when I saw him in passing it got the best of me. I kind of just jumped up and was like "HEY! Happy Valentine's DAY!", and reached out for a hug. He didn't reciprocate it though, he just looked at me like I was crazy , but then turned around and gave me a rose he was holding instead, and said "Happy Valentine's Day". I felt wrong for accepting the rose so I just gave it back and said "Thanks anyways", and continued walking. Yes, I did felt a bit awkward/bad after that, because I didn't intend on making anyone feel uncomfortable, but I did put the situation behind me. However, since then, I feel it's been truly awkward... We've only talked once after that, and it was awkward and now every time he's sees me, he ignores me, like literally won't even look at me. It kind of makes me feel pretty bad, but I respect his decision to do that. I just thought we were on good terms, perhaps I was very wrong? Yeah, I probably was lol. I know the obvious answer is to let it go, but I'm just wondering what do you people think about this situation, like what happened? and how can I improve myself for interactions in future situations. Advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
