im too content to be imaginative on this one

You bump into an ex-lover on Valentine's Day—the one whom you often call "The One That Got Away." What happens? You can post your response (500 words or fewer) here

I can't relate to having a "one that got away". My relationships were always more the "omg, i wish they would just go away already" or "I've had enough and I'm gone" types.

"Traditional" holidays just don't hold much meaning for me so its not like I've really had any with fun horror stories. I just don't really give a crap about commercialized forced upon meaningless occasions and don't have much memory of them, good or bad. That being said, I have to say this past valentines day was probably the best one I can ever remember having.

We had a nice morning at home and exchanged a few gifts, even though we said not to for each other. We packed a picnic lunch and went to the lake with my son for the afternoon. Weather was awesome, until after we left then clouds started rolling in. We drove around some after that. We went out for dinner at a Japanese hibachi grill (the kind where they cook the food at the table and you have to sit with other people around it) and drinks that evening.

I think as far as "What happens bumping into an ex on that day" would probably depend somewhat on where. Had we bumped into them walking around the lake or in the historic house/museum then I'm guessing a short "hi, how are you, hows life?" exchange then everyone going their separate ways and my sweetie spending the next little while pretending not to be jealous when he really was and me getting amused by it as long as it doesn't go to far where it becomes annoying.

In the bar part of the restaurant before dinner probably the same as the lake scenario. Had we had to sit with them at dinner, I really can't guess what would have transpired. I would have to assume they would be with a date as well, so probably maybe just the initial "hi, how are you? bullshit" then my sweetie pretending he wasn't jealous as we all tried to ignore each other the rest of the time.

I know that isn't very exciting as far as stories go and yea, I could have made up some romance novel bullshit saying things like seeing them all over again stirred the passion in my loins as we looked at each other with lust in our eyes blah blah blah.. I can't see any of that happening. I'm very happy with the person I am with at this moment and don't want to be with anyone else, past or otherwise.
