Should you apologize to someone you ghosted before if there is a chance you might run into them? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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??

I did this with my old best friend. I eventually apologised because the guilt was invading my dreams. It let me at least explain to him why I had to cut off all ties. We met one out two times since then but sadly the reasons that made me cut off contact have not been resolved.

But yeah, if it will make you feel better, I suggest doing it

Probably would help with my guilt but that sounds like a selfish reason to do it. (No offence intended to you, your friendship was clearly more serious and it sounds like a reasonable decision there).

Well it does have the double benefit of hopefully making them feel better. Either way it's worth a shot.
