Its officiallya post-vax slutty summer, which means people are out and about.
Everyone is going on dates and having fun, and that includes your ex.
But what happens if you run into them?
Well, heres what you should do.
It really does, especially if they look like theyre having a good time.
How dare they move on from you and do it publicly?
Well, they do dare.
And to be honest, they have the right to go out there and be happy.
Did they see you?
Is it too late to avert your eyes and walk away?
If theydidsee you and itistoo late, stay calm.
I played it off and liedbut it was definitely a panicked knee-jerk reaction.
I immediately diverted my eyes away from my ex and his date to avoid making eye contact.

No one in this situation is in the wrong.
Youre allowed to be out and so is your ex.
You broke up for a reason.
Keep that in mind.
If you ended on good terms, then be nice about it.

He followed his own advice and sent over a round of drinks.
In the city, theres a good chance youre gonna run into someone.
Ultimately, how you handle the situation will leave a lasting impression on them, Brent said.
If you choose kindness and care, youll do your part in leaving the world a better place.
Remember, just because your relationship ended doesnt mean you both dont deserve to find happiness.
Marika pointed out that some of her ex encounters have happened while she was at work as a server.
I also served a different ex while he was on a date, she revealed.
I was just my normal self and he never made eye contact with me.
But yeah, I guess he just wanted to pretend I didnt exist.
Do whatever works foryouto see to it the situation stays chill.
Youre allowed to leave.
Do what I did: Get the hell out of there!
He was holding hands with another woman.
Save yourself the pain!
If it didnt end on good terms, ignore them.
If you cant do that, just leave, added Brent, a real voice of reason here.
Remember to put yourself and your wellbeing first.
And when you get to the next bar, maybe order a stiff drink.
