A chance meeting with an ex is rarely pleasant. Disheveled hair, a stale blouse, an unfortunate situation - but you never know reasons for frustration? In fact, these are all little things. To show that you are happy without him, just straighten your back and smile confidently.
Instructions
Step 1
Control yourself and try to stay calm. There is nothing worse than lashing out at your ex with accusations or, conversely, with unnecessary hugs.
Step 2
Do not try to compare yourself to your ex-boyfriend's cute companion if suddenly he met you more than one. You can't know all the details of their relationship. Perhaps she is his lawyer, realtor or boss with a mischievous character. Or she has an annoying and overly caring mother who will move to live with them tomorrow. After all, you know how wonderful you are, and what your ex will think - who cares now.
Step 3
Don't worry about politeness. If you find that you won't be able to communicate calmly with your ex, nod and walk past, even if he stops. As a last resort, explain to him that you are in a hurry. If you want to chat, choose the most neutral topics: common acquaintances, hobbies, etc.
Step 4
Don't be overly curious. Think about it: do you really want to know who he is now dating and whether he takes his new girlfriend to "your" restaurant? Surely without this information, you will sleep more comfortably in the next few nights. Yes, and refrain from looking for information about him on social networks. Hold on for at least three days, and then this desire will surely disappear.
Step 5
Do not tolerate if the conversation ceases to appeal to you. You start to feel sad, envious or angry - say goodbye, smile sweetly and leave. He talks about his successes or, conversely, failures, and you do not want to hear this at all - nod and go about your business. The ex starts to make fun of you, mock and rude? Just turn around in silence and walk away, don't waste your time on it.
Step 6
Use the meeting with your ex as an excuse to think about your own life. Analyze what you liked and disliked in your relationship and how it might affect your future men. Remember, maybe there are some activities or people that you really liked before, but you left them because of the breakup with your ex. Now you can return to this, it will surely give you pleasure.
