Thins are looking up I need advice

When I first started NC things were quite dim and even when I posted on the NC thread lovely Patricia12 told me to drop him and move on…

I kept going with my NC and it has been 20 days. We are working with my ex. He is not a regular. The total of two times we have seen each other before we both tried too hard to avoid each other. Just a formal how are you on his part and a curt fine on mine…

Today however he showed up unexpectedly. The twist is I told another colleague I will be in the office today on our Whatsapp group. So he showed up too for apparently nothing but chatting.

I avoided him and he saw me and greet me very cheerfully. I said fine and did not ask back. He then greeted me total of three times. Asking very eagerly how I am doing.

All times I avoided eye contact and tried my best for being short (while remaining polite).

At some point he asked me a question about an upcoming trip and I answered him smiling. I also had to ask for his mouse and while he was leaving he insisted I keep it and even failed at a joke in a cute way.

He also started to look at my Whatsapp statuses.

All our seemingly break up was over misunderstandings and thus becoming clingy and needy on my part. Now that I look back his feelings for me were real. I am not sure if I could recover any of that but today left me hopeful honestly.

I am still intent on completing my NC to 30 days. But this Whatsapp status thing still confuses me.

Any advice?

Social media stuff and idle chit chat doesn’t matter.

What matters is whether or not he asks you out on a date.

Continue the no contact…
