When my lightweight ex boyfriend walked out on me, I let him. Two years later,he sees me the college parking lot and walks straight toward and gives me a hug. He always makes me smile and laugh but I had to be firm. Instead of returning the hug, I said, "Shouldn't you be kissing my feet instead?" Ignoring that because my eyes were crinkling with amusement and my voice held no rancor,he said, "It only seems like just yesterday since I saw you last." Smiling I said, " I haven't missed you either." He told me he was here giving a ride to someone he was dating. I told him he better treat her right. He showed me his new car and I showed him mine. I asked him to trade his Jaguar for mine, for old time sake as he is caressing the steering wheel.We laughed and chatted like old times, then parted. Long story short, I didn't give him my new number or address. It was the right thing to do because he is a totally lovable old flake.
