A guy I used to date wrote a tweet about me

[yoyobabe01]

I dated a guy back in April and May, so around 7-8 months ago. We broke up because of the distance over the summer and i just happened to find someone else over the summer. we are in the same student group which is how we met and we also have the same campus job, teaching an online freshman seminar and we just happen to be in the same theme too out of 20-30 other themes that is offered. throughout the semester, we did not talk at all really. for our job, we have biweekly meetings. I usually go on Tuesdays while he goes on Sundays, since our theme has 2 different availabilities. This week I am not able to go to my usual day because I had a work shift that i was not expecting, so i ended up going to the sunday meeting which is what he goes to. i did not think it was awkward but we did not have eye contact or talk or anything like that. the thing is that he wrote a tweet about me saying "oh the weirdness of attending a work meeting with an ex of mine. never ever date someone who could be a co-worker of yours. #LessonLearned". I was shocked when I saw it because we broke up a long time ago, and i don't even consider him my ex. We went on 2 dates, hung out a few other times, and he slept over a handful of times, and we did not do anything sexual. My question for all of you is why he is being so immature about this?? I have dated or been with a lot of guys since i broke up with him and I talk to pretty much all of them now except 1.

Maybe to him your dates had a different significance than to you.

Does it bother you that he wrote that stuff? Why?

[yoyobabe01]

it is immature and the fact that he wrote a tweet about me and we barely talk since we have broken up. it is not mature to advertise to the whole world to see and it kinda seems like what a chick would do.

[searock]

But why does it bother you? Can't you just ignore it? Talk to him normally, he's the only one feeling awkward... it's his problem, not yours.

[yoyobabe01]

then why does he think it's awkward since he is the one writing about it and he is mentioning it up again? it wasn't even significant because it didn't last very long anyways.

Ugh, Twitter...

Some people like to overdramatize things for attention. What a twat, don't check the pretty princess's social media anymore. If he's not even an ex or a friend, why are you looking at all?

You didn't make eye contact or smile or make small talk. This business of not acknowledging each other sounds AWKWARD in the extreme. I'm not at all surprised that he tweeted about his experience.

Why are you still following him on Twitter anyway?

Actually, the tweet wasn't about you. It was about him and how awkward he felt seeing an ex in that situation and that he'd never do it again.

If he'd made a commentary on your behaviour, THEN it would have been about you.

we talked all summer and stuff but in an instant he stopped communicating with me once the semester started. he was bored at home in a small town and when he got back to school with all of his friends he didn't need to texting entertainment anymore. we haven't even talked all semester so i am pretty much used to it. i asked him why we haven't talked or hung out, but he says we do talk.

Just ignore the tweet and unfollow him on twitter.

In person, act like you would with any other acquaintance: don't ignore him or deliberately avoid eye contact, just say "Hi" and then get on with what you were doing.

You were both acting immature
