    Awkward, party of two<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    A reader asked: I keep running into my ex at the same bars. We both live in the same small town outside Philly and there isn\u2019t much else around unless you drive for a while, so I knew it was inevitable, but it\u2019s uncomfortable every time. How many favorite spots am I expected to surrender? Or do we just keep running into each other and let time heal the awkwardness?<\/i><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Inquirer reporters Dugan Arnett and Beatrice Forman tackled this question with straightforward solutions. For instance, they suggest self-reflection (consider if the happy hour is truly worth the ex cameo) and confidence (live your life freely and don\u2019t mess up your routine!). Besides, as Forman put it, \u201cWho says it has to keep being awkward?\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    That is, of course, all under the assumption that the breakup wasn\u2019t wildly toxic.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI think a lot of the awkwardness around seeing our exes is very manufactured because you don\u2019t want to be perceived as being cold or hurting their feelings,\u201d Forman said. \u201cBut, now the only thing tying you together is that you both live in the same town.\u201d<\/p>\n

    In a column, culture writer Peter Dobrin calls the Philly gem that connects West Philadelphia and Grays Ferry \u201ca monument to decrepitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
