Grex Scruples Item 31: The new love
Entered by carson on Fri Jul 8 04:54:21 UTC 1994:

(you recently became romantically involved with someone. sadly, this
person had to leave town for three weeks for personal reasons.)

(imagine your surprise when you see this person, *two days later*, and
with someone else! this person doesn't see you, and won't unless you make
your presence known.)

(do you confront this person?) 

14 responses total.

Sure, after I've stopped (1) being steamed and (2) feeling hurt.
Something along the lines of "seems like there are some things
it would be good to talk about . . ."

Probably not.  I'd just "disappear".  and not be available to restart out
romance.

I would go up to them and say hi, and then leave it up to them to explain.
How do I know they are romantically involved with the other person.  Maybe
their trip got cut short for some reason and they just happened to run
into a friend on the street before they ran into or called me.  I really
don't see the point of breaking up with somebody if I'm not even sure of
why I'm doing it.

I'd walk up to them, say something like, "Hi!  What are you doing here?  I 
thought you were going out of town?" So he would feel like as much of an idiot
as he obviously was.

re#1 if i waited for those, i'd wait for a *long* time.  i would go
up to her, and probably be very hurt, and make a fool out of myself.
the relationship would end.

You know I supposed i would talk to them and see what happend like note
3 said. But always beware that you can be taken in by a good con artist
like me

I would just go up to them and say hi, and see what happens.

I'd run home and cry.  Then I'd grab a pillow and put it to my face
and scream.  Then I'd look at myself in the mirror, straighten my hair,
wash my face and take a deep breath.  I'd do all this if I really
liked the guy.  If I didn't care too much for him, then I'd probably
laugh to myself and keep on walking.


#10 of 14 by zook on Sun Nov 13 22:22:34 1994:

Obviously, I would be hurt, but I would walk away and not answer any phone
calls from her.
(same assumption as #4)

If my significant other was obviously doing something with this person
and they weren't supposed to be doing it, I would probably go up to him and
hit him on the arm or say "What in the hell are you doing?"  He'd have to
take it from there.

I would casually *be seen* and wait for a reaction with surprise at having seen
my love when she was supposed to be away. Maybe there is an explanation.

I would walk up and sat hi. If she has any reason to expalin then I would blow
up but suppose it was just an innocent friend she met and was around because
she missed her flight or something like tha.t.

I would walk up to her, and pretend I was an ape with a serious flea problem.
