How do I handle this?

Question

For the last two weeks I have been driving my son to school due to medical problems. Well when I started driving him I ran into an old boyfriend who is now working at my sons school. We have had a few conversations in the morning while I am getting my son's books ready. He doesn't work on that floor, but we seem to keep running into each other. The talks are limited and just things about the past, not about US. Well this morning my same routine, I hear someone come up behind me and tell me to be careful today because of the snow we are supposed to get. It was the ex. I told him thank you and he just stood there and we kept staring at each other. He turned to leave and went around the corner and my son said "well someone has a crush on you!" I wanted to die. I asked my son why would he say that. He said, Come on mom! I don't understand. I know that my ex is single because he keeps saying so, however I am not. Am I making a big deal out of nothing? or could there be sparks again? Thanks for your help.

Update:

I'm not married, in a serious relationship for 7 years though.

Don't you drop that baby off down the block because of some man.  He can only advance as much as you let him.  Reminiscing is normal when you run into an ex.  However, don't leave a 7 year relationship because of an ex.  Think about it and you will soon remember why he was an ex.  The reason doesn't go away, the trait or fault that he had to make him an ex is most likely still there.

I think it's just "old love" rushing back to each of you.  It's reminiscing about the good 'ol times and remembering what was or it may seem in his case what would've been.

Please don't act on these feelings without A LOT of thought and sole searching....  Make sure you talk to your husband about the ex before your son does too.

your ex is basically zoning out, it could be because he is thinking of the old times u both have shared.  I don't think this is a big deal, if he is intrested, so what!? Your with someone new and there was a reason you left your ex anyway.

If you don't want to compromise your relationship, I would get serious about letting your ex know that you are taken and let your son know that you do not like your ex.

it sounds like there are sparks - you know there are - even your son knows!  just take it slow & see what happens... and if there was a bad reason for your splitting from him to begin with - keep that in the forefront of your mind!  people generally dont change!  good luck!
