So me & my boyfriend went Christmas shopping to get a few items on our list. We were supposed to go to a different mall, but my boyfriend changed his mind the last minute & we went to another mall instead. I had an uneasy feeling about it but I avoided it. We walked around & the whole time I had this gut feeling in my stomach. I didn’t know what at the time, just thought I needed food lol. So, I was waiting in line at h&m when I saw him. I saw my ex coming straight towards us & I couldn’t move because I was in line and I was freaking out on the inside but on the outside, I’m remaining calm. And because of covid, we have to wear masks everywhere we go so I was able to recognized him even with a mask on, but im not sure if he did. He went to another direction of the store while I still was in line. Then he left the store. I was anxious, nervous, and looking around for him while my boyfriend was literally right next to me. It was this rush that I had when I saw him. Afterwards, I saw him again waiting in line to enter a store (store capacity) and I looked at him and he looked at us but again, I’m not sure if he recognized me. He was the type of ex that we had deep feelings for each other but we never got the timing right. Right person, wrong time type of thing so we lost contact. It’s crazy because of the feeling that I had before and during the whole time at the mall and the huge coincidence we ran to each other. He lives no where near me & it was also a long distance past relationship type of thing but we made the drive for each other but again, the timing wasn’t on our favor and we lost contact. I didn’t tell my boyfriend what happened. We were having a good day, and I didn’t want to ruin it by bringing up an ex. I told my girlfriends about what happened and they couldn’t believe it either. I was literally in love & cried for this guy but things happen for a reason. Im not going to contact him and he didn’t contact me either so I guess, he either saw me with another guy and I respected my relationship or he straight up didnt recognize me. Anyways, It’s the morning after and I’m still thinking about what happened, but I’m going to move on like nothing happened. That’s my little rant lol
