Running into an EX
On this week’s show the guys discussed what they do when they encounter an Ex-girlfriend that has done very well after their relationship ended. I personally thought that this was an interesting topic. Everyone wants to believe that all of their ex’s have fallen victim to a dating slump and have gotten fat after the break-up. I think that it is human nature to hope that the person that broke your heart will never survive without you, unfortunately that isn’t usually the case. Since most people in Queens usually date within their borough, and more specifically their own town, it is inevitable that you will run into an ex or two in your everyday travels, and when you do the question of what to do runs through your mind… here is what I would do…
- If your lucky enough to be the one that spots the ex before they spot you, you can evaluate how you look at that very moment. If you just ran to the store in your PJ pants to get some milk and your hair looks like something out of a horror movie, I would quickly do what I like to call “The Purse Search”…this is where you pull your extraordinarily large bag up to your face to “find that VERY important thing you lost” at this point you can turn and walk away…quickly…
- If you are not so lucky, and he saw you first, try your very hardest to work that “interesting” look… by explaining it away. Example, When he asks you how you have been doing say “GREAT!” (This is where you can take a page out of John’s book and lie…) “Actually, I am just picking up some milk because I’m going to make Rob (any generic name will do… and say it like he should know who ‘Rob’ is….) breakfast in bed. This will make him forget how bad you look because he will begin to wonder what you were doing all night that made your hair look that way…and why whatever it was made you want to make him breakfast in bed… This excuse also gives you a reason to leave…quickly…
- If the dating planets have aligned, and you look great when you run into your ex, this is the perfect opportunity to walk over and do the “Oh My God, How have you been?” move. This self explanatory move is when you put on a big cheesy smile, matched with a little skip in you step, and give that ex of yours the fakest hug you can muster up, and in the most sincere voice say: “Oh My God, How have you been?”. Struck by your overwhelming beauty and cuteness, your ex most likely will say a quick “Good, and you?” and this will give you the chance to rave about how well your career and love life is going now that you and him have gone your separate ways. Once you have finished gushing over your extraordinarily exciting life, you can rush off because you have somewhere very important to be. Always end with another quick hug and a “We should get together soon to catch up…” This situation is rare, but perfect because you never let your ex tell you anything about his life, so you leave with the upper hand…
So there it is…My Advice on running into an EX
