Your Ex Texted — Here's What to Say
Out of nowhere, your ex texts. Maybe it's "hey", maybe it's "I miss you", maybe it's 1am. Either way — your response matters.
“hey, been thinking about you lately”
“omg really?? i've been thinking about you too!! when can we talk?”
Immediately available. Zero power. Erases all the progress you made moving on.
“oh? what brought that on”
Curious but unbothered. Makes them explain themselves. You hold the power.
“that's sweet. hope you're doing well”
Kind but doesn't open the door. Classy response if you're over it.
“took you long enough”
Confident, playful, implies you expected it. Strong position.
