Quick-!
Your ex is coming to town. What do you do with him/her/it?
Actually, there’s a handy, inverse equation we all can use:

The more you’re still caught up in the perhaps death-ray-like pull of your ex’s charms, the more intentionally cursory the planned activity.
So-!

Are you:

  • Over it? Politely interested, even, in hearing about the ex’s new stellar career, love of life plus baby, dog and charming cottage set on 20 acres of rolling farmland?

    Activity: Long dinner and a carafe of Pinot Grigio. If you catch yourself nodding off, you can blame it on the wine.

  • Doing well and over the relationship, but still feeling the slightest twinges of sentimentality when you hear that freaking song?

    Activity: Cheap beer and greasy fries at cozy booth in local noisy bar. Alternate: Beer and greasy fries, seated at crowded bar itself.

  • Doing fairly well, but absolutely secure in the knowledge that you are in no way prepared to hear a single “amusing” story about ex’s recent terrible date, let along ex’s more-recent hopeful date? Nor about his having learned pleasures of domesticity through remodeling the kitchen in his new house.

    Activity: Iced Coffee at Quiktrip.
