    Over a year and a half ago I had a bad break up with a girl I was crazy about Sally, since the breakup none of us have spoken to each other as we decided not to remain friends or seen each other out much for that matter.

    However recently I started to work where she works on a work placement for two weeks, to cut a long story or two short even though we haven't spoken at work I have caught her looking at me and smiling not so much that-but the second day at break in the canteen I was sitting by myself as I don't know anyone at work yet she was sitting at an opposite table with two female friends I had the feeling I was being talked about as one of her friends kept looking over at me then Sally when she left the canteen she went out of her way for me to notice her when she walled past my table when she didn't have to when she was gone from lunch her female friend stopped looking over everytime we walk past each other she gives me not dirty looks but weird looks ,Im wondering if she wants me to say Hi and talk to her or if she still has feelings for me or she's bitter about the way things ended,Im unsure how to handle this awkwardness or what to think.

    It has been 1.5 years, have you moved on? if so, be nice, be civil and be genuine, then no one can say anything to you or view you wrongly.

    I would think given that you are in her 'hood', that she should come over to welcome you. She sounds a bit silly talking About you and her friends looking over. A bad break up is a bad break up for a reason

    Exactly. You're only there for two weeks, if she smiles at you, smile back. Be civil, be polite and then walk away.

    And focus on your work experience, it's so important! :)

    Seriously, she sounds horrible. You have just joined her company (i know its only short-term but for all she knows you're there for the long haul), you are sitting alone, new, clearly knowing nobody and she doesn't come over and say hello? Not to mention sitting there gossiping about you.

    I can't imagine a situation that would ever justify this behaviour from me or any of my friends for that matter.

    Smile back, say hello and see this as a warning sign that you had a lucky escape.

    All the best with your placement btw.
