Say you went out on like 2 dates and said person was too clingy and you ghost em, now you might have to face them due to work. Apologize or not? And if apologize, do it preemptively or upon meeting?

Also generally as a moral stance should you??

First of all, this is why you don’t date people at work lol

But yeah, I’d apologize and make up some excuse for not replying. I’d also be clear that you aren’t interested. In the future, just make it clear you aren’t interested instead of ghosting, so you can skip all those in between steps

Ok I was 18 and we were at uni and in a different country lmao. No way was this situation predictable. But yeah no more ghosting.

Sounds like the work situation is new, like they dated someone who they will now be working with

Not even working together, I'm on a project for the company she works at for a few months and don't wanna bump into her.

Maybe. I thought of it more like a return to office or promotion/transfer situation
