I'm a dating coach who's trying to promote their new service. Ask away!

5 year relationship. It was toxic. He broke up with me before I could. By that I mean, he cheated on me, lied to me and getting caught multiple times. He was sweet but then turned into this mean guy days later. He was a horrible boyfriend but I do miss my best friend. Deep down I know he's this sweet and funny guy but he is afraid to be that person because of his guy friends. I don't know what to think because I don't hold grudges against anyone. We go to the same university and live three blocks apart so there is a chance we could bump into each other 1st question: If I do bump into him, what should I do or say. Do I smile? Do I say hi and how you're doing? 2nd question: Is it wise to be friends? Though he flirted with his other friend girls and then ruin those friendships with his arrogance. 3rd question: What do I do when I bump into his family? I was so close last time to seeing them but I avoid them because I get scared of awkward conversations. I know I will one day but what should I say without making it awkward.
