Say hi, be pleasant and then continue on with the date. No big deal.

I agree. Although I have never actually had this happen, I would imagine it would be uncomfortable (depending on the events that led to the breakup).

If it's uncomfortable, just go the other way. No need to start drama while on a date.

Sorry, just had an additional thought....what if you were so in love with the guy, or had been together a long time? Would that change how one would react?

You're on a date when suddenly... you bump into an ex. What do you do? Stay calm. It might be hard to explain to the police how your ex and his new girlfriend jaywalked in front of your Hummer.

i would just keep going and act like i didnt notice him unless he said something... if he decided to initiate contact, i would smile, be pleasant, and be BRIEF and be on my way...

My late husband's old g/f from high school (we all went to h/s together) came to his visitation. They ended badly, thanks to her. I kept thinking, "be gracious say thank you for coming" . ugg that was hard

There's only so much you can do in these kind of situations.

Hummm would all depend if they say anything to me or not... If not I would just smile and keep going.. If they did I would keep it to small talk then move on... So far that has never happened to me....
