    Seeing ex girlfriend again this week. How best to approach it?
    I'll be seeing my ex for the first time since she broke up with me in a few days. We were together for about 2 years and she broke up with me about 2 weeks ago.

    While I've have very little contact with her (or none if you don't count poking on Facebook as contact). I think I've been through the hard bit - anger, sadness, all other emotions etc.

    Seeing her again this week is inevitable (so don't say things like "NO! DON'T MEET HER!") - but I'm not sure how best to approach it. I still miss her, and I think I still want to be with her, but I haven't seen her since we broke up. At the very least I need to see her to find out how I really feel about her.

    How should I approach this so as I don't look like a pathetic idiot and push her away, but approach this so I don't seem bitter, cold-hearted and drive her away?

    I'd appreciate any and all opinions and feedback.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Why are you going to see her? Mutual friends? Work? School? 2 weeks is awfully quick to get over a 2 week relationship, I think a lot of feelings are going to resurface as soon as you see her.

    Best approach would be is to be happy with your life and enjoy your life/being single. Whether you are or not, appear as if you are. You mention not wanting to push her away, or drive her away. Realize that she walked away on her own accord. Focus on yourself right now, and if that drives her away further, then so be it.
