Bumped into ex ...was this weird?

[Helloandgoodbye445]

A couple of years ago I got into a emotional affair with someone I shouldn't,fell in love with him and he told me he loved me but we cut off contact as it was too messy.
Two years has passed and last night i was at a football match and went in the pub.
He was there.
I was with my boyfriend and he always said he would hate when I meet someone.
He was looking over and I couldn't stop myself.
I went to the toilet and one of his friends grabbed my waist and said "stay here" I just smiled and said hello and walked back to my boyfriend.
My "ex" then came over near where we were sat and was talking on his phone.
He continues to look over then his two friends came and stood right at our table and looked at my boyfriend.
Do you think he might have got a shock seeing me with someone?

You posted about this the other day, but fretting that your ex would think you weird for making eye contact or looking a few times.

You're too invested. Move on. It's unfair in your current BF.

[Helloandgoodbye445]

I am very invested I think.
Can't get him out of my head...

[TheNaze73]

I don't think there's anything here to suggest he was shocked to see you

[Gemini69]

he was interested in you.... and wanted to talk to you ..

If you can't get him out of your head then you need to end it with your bf

[JK1773]

You're still emotionally tied to your ex. You need to let your BF go whilst you sort yourself out. This isn't a normal reaction. Sounds like you were watching him all the time. I hope for his sake your BF didn't notice and have to sit through such a cringey and humiliating situation

[Justmuddlingalong]

No. I would imagine he's over you, after a couple of years. And glad to be out of the childish game playing.

[Helloandgoodbye445]

Why keep looking over?
I could see him out the corner of my eye.
What childish game playing?
I didn't know he would be at the particular bar.

[Gemini69]

if he means this much to you.. call him

[Helloandgoodbye445]

If only it was that simple....
Too much water under the bridge

Move on and leave him behind - he's in the past for a reason. Don't fuck up what you've got for him!

[AtrociousCircumstance]

You were meaningful to him to some extent, some time ago, but not enough to fight to create an actual relationship. You are an interesting fragment from his past and worth an eyeing or two. But it doesn't seem as if he wants anything more.

Sometimes guys look at us and all it means is at that particular time you were interesting enough to look at, for whatever reason - maybe he was remembering he used to fancy you, remembering the drama from another time in his life, whatever.

Don't be sucked in by it. Essentially it means nothing. Even if he eyeballed you all evening, there is no real content.

If he texts you or calls you and says something real, tells you he still loves you or asks to meet, then ok, there might be something to think about. But a bit of looking in a pub when he was probably a bit drunk? He might just have been curious/pissed/a little nostalgic.

[Helloandgoodbye445]

Tbh I found his friends behaviour the oddest.
His friend was very drunk tho.
