shark_90 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've just been out in the trusty 80 (dashboards are for wimps ) over to my Dad's, about 25 miles away. On the route I drive straight past my first girlfriend's house and on the way there I thought "Hmm, I wonder how she is" as I drove past. Well on the way back there was a Fiesta holding me up which I nearly overtook but I didn't and sat behind it.. it turned into my ex's house and it turned out to be her. Now we have a lot of history, we were together for 3 and a bit years, and it was a turbulent young hormonal rocky relationship. Not that I thought about that when I saw her. Dick head here decides to stop, wind the window down and call over to ask how she is! She didn't recognise me at first (is that a good thing?) and when I said "It's Ben" she seemed very upset and flustered and said that she couldn't talk right now. I don't know if she was upset before I said hi, or if I caused it, but it all happened within about 5 seconds and at a range of about 60 yards.. I just said OK and take care and drove away (with a large helping of soot). I don't even know why I'm posting up about this, it just seemed odd to me and I don't know if I upset her, or if she was already upset I feel really and don't know what compelled me to stop and say hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 mate the first girlfriend is always a special one Not surprised you felt compelled to stop But.. probably a good idea that you didn't exchange numbers. The past always seems better from the future Things rarely are as rose tinted as you remember! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Well that's the thing, the memories are less than rose tinted!!! But I still felt compelled to stop? I feel a bit.. weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I'd probably drop her a letter just to see how she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saab Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 The reason you stopped was because you are a nice guy and wanted to say hello. I was with my first (proper) girlfriend for two years - I thought things were going fine when she finished things and the following day ran away to work in a circus, and I have never seen or heard from her since - and that was 12 years ago. So if I saw her now I'd stop and call her over and ask her where the bloody hell she's been! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3ENVY Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I'm with Robin on this one! I wouldn't drop her a letter either, it just gives her the opportunity to make you feel a bit sh!tty again if she doesn't respond. If she has your number and is able to contact you, I would leave it alone and wait to see if you hear from her. If she does feel like she was a little short with you and wants to talk properly then maybe she'll call, if not, then you can rest safe in the knowledge that you're a nice guy and at least tried.

Don't drop her a letter. Keep on with the moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I got a phone call from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend of mine the other day. We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic nights we used to enjoy together. I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that 'magic`. Wow!", I said, "I don't know if I could keep pace with you now! I'm a bit older and a bit balder than when you last saw me!" She just giggled and said she was sure I'd rise to the challenge!!! "Yeah" I said, "just so long as you don't mind a man with a waistline that's a few inches wider these days!" She laughed and told me to stop being so silly! She teased me saying that tubby bald men were cute! "Anyway, I've put on a few pounds myself!" she giggled................... So I told her to fcuk off.
