Not received, but given
I was out with my ex (we were trying to be mates) and she was chatting to a group of lads, some of whom I knew from work. She's trying to be funny, but isn't very good at it.

At one point, she turns round, pats my belly and says "this is Nathan, he's fat because he drinks too much ale, hur hur", I just responded with "Why, what's your excuse?", before going wide eyed and realised I'd just called a girl with fairly low self esteem fat to her face.

She storms out of the pub, crying. I run out after her and shout "Wait! You're not that fat!"

Somehow, this isn't a compliment? Weird girl.

Are you still mates?

Tbh, that wasn't that recent, it was about a year ago.
We didn't speak for 6 months after that, then she split with her fella, and all of a sudden wanted to be mates again. Then we fell out again, resulting in a screaming argument in the street, 4 months without speaking, then she wrote to me last week, apologising for everything, and that every argument was her fault.

It's only because she moves to America at the end of August, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

I have made it a point that when I have broken up with a girl, that's it.
We shall never see each other again. No let's be mates crap. It has worked for me so far.

Except for her
I've got on really well with all of my exes. One is still my best friend.

a very Aspergers colleague from another office came for a meeting
and greeted me with, "You're not as fat as you were last time."

Fortunately the tone in which I replied, " Gee, thanks." completely passed him by.
