#2 If your ex doesn’t take the hint or you never discussed it in the breakup, set up a meeting. Meet with your ex in a place that’s public and accessible. Make sure it’s not a place you used to frequent when you were together, lest he/she think you want to get back together. Set it up in the daytime, because a nighttime meet up might seem like a date. Lastly, be clear that you only want to talk for a certain amount of time, 15 minutes or so, so that your ex doesn’t try to prolong the date just to be with you.
Once you’re on the date, emphasize that you’re not comfortable when you still receive texts, calls and/or messages from your ex. Tell your ex that you mean it when you say you don’t want to keep in touch, at least for a while. Lastly, clearly say that you’re not just playing hard to get. You’ve set up a meeting to make your ex know that you’re serious. You’re not hanging out or having a date, you’re making sure your ex takes the hint and respects your decision.
