Oh dear, it sounds like you've got it bad. It's amazing how some people can still turn you into that 14 yearold stuttering school girl again.
Avoiding him is a good idea, but when you see him then try not to let your body tense up and get in a state. Take a second, take a deep breath and tell yourself that you are a professional woman in her 20's and you will not act like anything else.
You will get over this eventually. I'm glad you haven't let it overrule your head so you'd be daft enough to get back with someone who is not good for you.
Good Luck!! xx
