RE: Public contact w / Provider.
[QUOTE=Twackj;3853981]This question is more for senior members but anyways. I recently saw my regular provider at the Kroger's. She was obviously with her SO. We made eye contact and just smiled. Later on in the evening she texted and thanked me I didn't say anything. I'm pretty sure I handled the situation correctly but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Or if it even went the other way and ended up being an awkward situation?[/QUOTE]Yes, this has happened to me as well, also at a Kroger, but in the parking lot. I saw her walking toward the store, and I drove up along side of her. I spoke her name (didn't shout at her from across the parking lot) and she smiled and came up to the window of my truck. We chatted for a few minutes and she suggested that I should come see her soon, and we parted ways. If I had been inside the store, particularly if she'd been with someone else, I would've done exactly what you did. I think it's important to assess your surroundings and contemplate the consequences of how you'll react if you make contact with them. I'm sure she was terrified at first about what would happen running into you in public. Your interaction was perfect, that's why she sent the text to you later. Cheers.
