She had to move out of the way for me yet she didnt even acknowledge that I was there. Girls are so damn ridiculous sometimes.........that is all.

    Why is this an issue?

    Did you want her to scream and shout at you? Run up and plant a smacker on your lips with a "Oh how i've missed you!"? Or just say hi and have that awkward silence?

    She's an ex and not acknowledging you maybe her way of dealing things, she might have other stuff on her mind OR MAYBE she didn't even realise it was you...

    I keep hoping I'll see mine around town, now that I'm in our mutual hometown for the week. Though I'd not be happy if that was the reaction I got either.
    she was underwhelmed, if that's a word

    This is a girlfriend from quite a few years ago and she broke up with me with no reason to give me so I should be the one that holds a grudge but I would have at least said hello or something except for she wouldnt even turn her head to look at me when she had to move so I could walk past.

    i think the real problem lies with you, why should you care so much if she's noticed you or not?

    Maybe he was going to say hi and she totally snubbed him.
    Either way, if she has enough of a problem with him to ignore him and he has enough of a problem with her to care if she noticed him or not, they both have a problem.

    but maybe his ex doesn't like 'small talk' :D

    Or maybe she's just a petty heartless bitch. What's so bad about him being a little put out that a girl he once cared about totally blew him off? That's going to sting for anybody that has any human emotions.

    That is exactly how I feel about her now. As I said, I never did anything wrong to her and basically treated her like royalty and she broke up with me out of nowhere yet I would still at least have the decency to at last smile and say hi yet she noticed me walking by so she just moved out of the way and didnt even look at me.

    I've got to say I think totally blanking anyone is really quite rude in any circumstances and I hate it when people I see people I know vaguely who make eye contact and then put their head down and walk past, nevermind an ex or someone I used to care about, it's just out of order. How hard is it to incline your head or something?

    Seems to me that pjoasisrule catches shit from people here regardless of what his posts actually say. I think he's got a point here.

    sometimes i think that i am the only one that is cool with all my exgirlfriends....all 3 of them


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
  • JordyWordyJordyWordy Posts: 2,261
    I have agree with OP here, one of my ex's did it all the time - i didnt particularly want to talk to her anyway but the blanking was pretty insulting. It also happened to my current girlfriend with an ex of hers when we were out recently - that was the first time id seen a guy do it, and man, its just so ignorant.

    If pjoasisrule's ex had just even nodded / said "hi" and nothing else happened, the moment wouldve been uneventful but polite, neither memorable for a good or a bad reason....but i think (like Jeremy012 said) blanking someone under any circumstance is rude.

    Its an awkward situation. Maybe she felt too uncomfortable to speak, or maybe she didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.

    And then, if she ditched you, maybe she was expecting to be blanked herself and so pre empted it.

    its just common knowledge that no matter how nice you are to a girl and how good you treat them...they still like to take a dump on your head and make you feel like shit.

    ok, i'm not saying that women like to be with assholes, but maybe the problem is that they get bored. they probably like a little challenge every now and again, they want a guy with ambitions, someone who pays attention to her but also has other goals to reach in life.

    i hope you understand that i'm not trying to give you any shit in here, but you've got to forget about this and stop thinking about her because they only person who is feeling hurt is you.

    maybe she didn't say 'hi' to you because she knows she's upset you and doesn't know how you feel towards her, maybe she was scared and was waiting if you would start talking to her first

    that's got nothing to do with it.....if you come upon somebody you know or once knew, acknowledge them....she didn't need to hold a 5 minutes conversation but at least say hi. how's it going?....he says great...he asks her, she responds....22 fucking seconds out of her life wouldn't have killed her :rolleyes:
  • NothinGBetteRPJMaNNothinGBetteRPJMaN Posts: 530
    I agree with the OP. There is no problem with wanting to be acknowledged by someone you used to care about. I would want to say hi and maybe have a 1 minute conversation with my ex, it's always nice to see how people are doing that you used to know very well.

    what if it was a messy break up? my first ex and i broke up with each other, after a trip that gone horribly wrong, and when we saw each other in the pub we didn't say nothing to each other not even a nod, although i did notice him looking at me at one point. and now a year later we are talking to each other again :D but this time i'm keeping my distance, seeing him once or twice a year is good enough for me.

    I don't think the op is feeling all that hurt, in fact I am sure he will forget about this whole thing in a few hours. He is just confused and a little insulted at why someone would just completely ignore you. I don't think he is sitting in a corner beating himself over such a small issue, but it is something that makes you go 'wtf? why would she just blow me off like that? oh well' I am sure the point of the thread is basically to see if anyone has had a similar occurrence.

    i'm just talking about common courtesy genie....he didn't seek her out...it was a chance meeting...according to pjoasis this was a gf from long ago....at some point she needs to move on...her actions just seem immature and petty

    as someone else pointed out in here, she maybe have felt awkward, why didn't the OP say "hi" to her first?

    Now that I think about it I saw my ex this summer and completely blew her off.

    I was pretty drunk and my friends and I were walking back from the beach at like 1am. She, her boyfriend, another girl I know, and maybe someone else were walking in the opposite direction. I got all excited to see the other girl and hugged her and asked how she was etc and all I did was scan the rest of their crowd and didn't say hi to any of them.

    If I were sober or less drunk I would have said hi, but I think I didnt say hi because I didnt want to make a drunken fool of myself, idk. All I know is I would like to say hi to her and catch up for a few minutes.
