Matt's advice column

19/F

So, my ex-boyfriend and I broke up a lifetime ago. Recently, my dad's girlfriend started working at the same hospital that he works (he's on the lift team and she's a PT).

Anyways, So I've always still kinda have feelings for him, although dating him would probably not be for the best.

So, from what my dad's girlfriend told me... he is always talking to this girl at the front desk and she said that he has no reason to be there.
And she said that the girl looks exactly like me.

So, why?

We had a bad falling out and it was his fault for treating me like shit (he stood me up and then lied about it and this was when we were "talking" again, we weren't dating... but I invited him out for my friends to meet him and I looked like an ass because I kept telling my friends how amazing he was, blah blah blah, bullshit. And then he stood me up, tried to make me feel about about it and then lied to me).

I was expecting it because at the time it was too good to be true. But, if he still has feelings for me then why wouldn't he just try to mend things? I saw him two weeks ago while he was working and I was visiting my boss in the hospital... and he kept looking at me/for me. Why can't he just get over himself?

Sorry, this turned out to be a rant more than anything, lol.

[Insert total ripping into the lack of logic of questioner here.] You seem nice and I can't think of a phrasing that won't get me suspended from the site, so I'll skip it.

But really, what? You're making a huge deal out of literally nothing, because you clearly still have feelings for him. Let's reexamine the information you've given;

He's an asshole, you guys broke up a long time ago. He works at some hospital and is seen always talking to a girl in an area he has no reason to be in. Why? He clearly is interested in her. He's not sending you some secret message of remaining interest; he's trying to get into this girl's pants and she happens to resemble you, which is completely irrelevant and does not relate to the situation at all. Period.

When you went to the hospital, he kept looking at you. Why? You guys had a bad break up and were once in a relationship. Why wouldn't he be looking at you? Completely meaningless.

So, these two meaningless events, when combined together, only create something even more meaningless.

In conclusion, you still have feelings for him, he is totally over you and seriously could not care less, and I still give average advice.

(Rating: 5) LMAO. This made me laugh, you're a jerk... but a funny one at that.

Although you pissed me off with your first sentence.. it made me feel better because it's done and over. So I live in a small town, and that's the closest hospital and I want to be an RN... it's going to be so awkward when I start volunteering in the near future. But we'll get over that when we get to that point I guess.

Anyways,
thanks for the terrible/hilarious/okay advice. :)
