Want your ex back? Texting can help. Here’s how to do it right.
Break the Ice
Start small. Don’t rush. Your first text should:
- Get a reply
- Gauge response time
- Check their mood
Example: “Hey [Ex’s name], remember that time we got lost hiking and ended up at that amazing viewpoint? Just saw a photo that reminded me of it. Hope you’re doing well.”
Wait for their response. Don’t push it.
- Warm reply? Move to step 2.
- Cold reply? Give them space.
Advanced Technique: Address their feelings. If you know they’re upset, acknowledge it:
“I know things ended roughly between us. I’ve been reflecting on my part in that. I hope you’re doing okay.”
Build Rapport
Got a positive response? Great. Now build connection.
Do:
- Keep it light
- Recall good times
- Be positive
Don’t:
- Bring up bad memories
- Show neediness
- Send empty texts
Use humor. Make them smile.
Example: “Just passed by that restaurant where you accidentally ordered the super spicy dish. Still remember your face! 😂 Hope your taste buds have recovered!”
Time it right. Don’t text too early or late.
Rekindle Romance
Built some rapport? Time to flirt a little.
Tips:
- Start mild
- Follow their lead
- Keep it rare
Example: “You know, I still haven’t found anyone who can make me laugh like you do. Your sense of humor is truly one of a kind.”
Ready to meet? Plan something simple. Coffee works.
Advanced Technique: Turn negatives into positives. If they express anger:
“I understand you’re angry. That shows how much you cared. I’d like to talk about it if you’re open to it.”
Text Smart
- Write, wait, then send
- Stay positive
- Keep it short
- Don’t expect too much
- Never fight via text
Remember: Texting should be fun.
Now go get your ex back.
