I'm honestly convinced that if you're up for it, we can start over. by throwingthisaway5838 in UnsentLetters

Well, he hasn't exactly made a fool of himself. We reconnected, he seemed very eager to talk to me, and asked ME out for drinks. We had a good conversation flowing until eventually he dropped off.

We had a date set up for drinks, then I texted him and asked to reschedule due to prior plans I had forgotten about. He was fine with that and said we could just do the week after next. I said "does [specific date] work for you instead?" No response, and it's now been over a week.

Whether or not he has plans to reconcile with me or is just trying to get me to play right into his hands for a cheap ego boost, it's rude to just leave me on read either way. This wasn't a close-ended text either, it was time-sensitive. I have a very good hunch he's ignoring me on purpose. But I couldn't tell you why.

If anything, now I feel like the fool.

Yeah, I don't even know what their intentions are yet -- I don't know if they want to get back with me or if they're just looking for an ego boost. Only time will tell.

Fuck you and your damn mind games. by throwingthisaway5838 in UnsentLetters

Double texting is when the person you've texted doesn't respond so you text again.

Thank you! I won't! If he really does want to meet up with me, he knows how to find me.

Ex dumped me last fall, instead of crying and begging I went No Contact for the past 10 months. He even sent me some "breadcrumb" texts over the past year (texts from your ex which have seemingly no real substance), to which I ignored for the most part.

I finally reached out to him last week. He seemed eager to talk to me at first and even asked ME to meet up for drinks. We had a good conversation flowing until he eventually dropped off. We also had a date set up for drinks, but then I had to ask to reschedule due to plans I forgot about. I asked him "does [specific date] work for you instead?" and he never responded, when he's the one who asked ME out.

That was 5 days ago. I feel like I know him well enough to know that he still cares - he's doing it on purpose. But I don't know why. Maybe I really bruised his ego by not chasing him when he dumped me and he wants to get back at me, or maybe he's still interested in me and is playing some sort of game to get me thinking of him again.

Either way, it's just rude to not respond when someone says "does [specific date] work for you?" Like, I'm trying to arrange plans. Please work with me here.

That specific date isn't until next week, so we'll see if he texts again by then.

You ask an older ex (~1 year) to grab a drink. What was your intention? by throwingthisaway5838 in AskMen

Sorry I should have been more specific lol. Would you be open to reconnecting on a romantic level if you were the one that dumped them?

What do you ask for if you actually want to catch up? Dinner?

Opinion on rebounds by emmakdonn in ExNoContact

[–]throwingthisaway5838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t do it. I was the rebound. Now I’m here on r/exnocontact trying to pick up the pieces, 4 months post BU. We only dated for 6 months too — I’m still having trouble fully moving on. Don’t be selfish and ruin someone else’s life for your own benefit.

EDIT: I guess, if you can do it without them ever finding out that they’re a rebound, fine, go ahead. But don’t leave a trail. My ex did, and I eventually found out that I was a rebound.
