He Texted Me After A Week Of No Contact? Trust The Answer

It’s bad enough when a guy goes mute while you’re texting, but it can be even more confusing when he shows up in your inbox hours, days, or even weeks later. Don’t worry – we’re here to help you figure out exactly what to do next. Take some time to think about what you want to say, and then ask him what ghosting you is all about. From there, you can use his response to figure out whether to give him another chance or delete his number for good!

This article is based on an interview with our professional relationship coach, Imad Jbara. Watch the full interview here.

The first step in deciding whether or not to text your ex after the contactless window is over is to remind yourself why you decided to end all communication in the first place. “Not everyone has the foresight to do this, but a no-contact period is a great idea because it prevents former partners from relapsing into a quasi-relationship, which only confuses things and further hurts both parties,” Erika Martinez, a clinical psychologist in Miami, tells Elite Daily. “It can be an important agreement, especially in cases where both partners aren’t 100 percent sure they want to end the relationship, but need some time away from the relationship to process it.”

If this sounds familiar, the key here is to make sure you’ve actually given yourself the time you need to heal and find that clarity about your feelings. If that hasn’t already happened, you’re more likely to confuse yourself by reaching out to an ex prematurely.

There’s another common reason you might have built up a communication block, and that was self-protection. “Enforce a social distancing if you feel your ex-partner is mistaking the breakup. They don’t need or deserve the drama of their constant prodding and questioning. [Or because] you feel like your ex is harassing or stalking you,” Chris Armstrong, founder of relationship coaching company Maze of Love, told Elite Daily. Then you should think very hard about reaching them again.

“I would never recommend setting time parameters for when to resume contact. Instead, reconnect when you feel safe from a possible relapse that may occur because you are not fully healed. Or if you feel safe from any harassment your ex may face because they haven’t fully healed,” he advises.

It’s perfectly normal to feel tempted during the first few weeks of social distancing. You’re still thinking about your ex, your pain is increasing, you can’t eat or sleep, their absence has left a mark of misery on you. Yet you still try.

It’s entirely understandable that after those mixed feelings you might feel that reaching out to your ex after two weeks is your best bet.

STILL, a week, two, or three is a short period of time to think about the breakup and decide what’s best for you. That said, contacting your ex right now isn’t the best idea!

The effect of the healing process begins after the 30 days have elapsed and lasts thereafter.

Being out of touch and giving up in two weeks prevents you from fully healing and gives your ex the power to block you, give you the most unwanted answers and leave you hopeless.

Instead of breaking the 2 weeks of no contact with your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, focus more on yourself.

What you should do is be prepared to defend yourself until you are out of the aftermath of the breakup. you have that!

7 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Give Up 2 Weeks After Using No Contact:

1. You are not fully healed from the breakup

Acknowledging the pain caused by the breakup and nurturing yourself takes more time than just two weeks.

Even if you ended up happily, you need to be detached for more than two weeks to reflect on your relationship and repair past things or move on.

The second week of no contact is different for the dumper and different for the dumpee.

The dumper is still happy to be alone, although he may be curious about what the dumpee is doing. While the dumpee picks up the shards and copes with the sense of loss.

2. Your thoughts are distracted by your ex’s absence

This separation has changed your life pattern. The absence of your ex can be very destructive.

In the early stages of No Contact, you are guided by your feelings and instinct rather than your thoughts and logic.

If you contact your ex after two weeks, you will only get instant pleasure from contacting them, but the results won’t be what you want them to be.

You must be ready to face any outcome. Your ex may not respond, block you, yell at you, even write an angry comment/text, or even ignore your text entirely.

It’s all because you and your ex haven’t had enough time to first gain a new perspective on yourself and then your relationship.

3. Your ex isn’t ready to talk to you yet

If you get your ex to talk or interact with you after the second week of no contact, he or she will be driven away from you.

In the second week you will learn what it’s like to live alone and enjoy your free time in the absence of your ex.

If you’re the fool, it’s way too early for your ex to miss you or think about you.

For you, it is the first stage of learning how to stop communicating with your ex and not think about him.

While for the dumper, it’s the part where they feel relief, only to feel a heavier burden as No Contact continues.

4. Might give you mixed signals and confuse you

Some of the exes choose the method of breadcrumbing rather than rejecting your attempt to reconnect with them.

With all the mixed feelings, confusion, happiness, and sadness during the first and second weeks without contact, your ex chooses to repress his feelings by replacing them with ambiguous ones.

Your ex might turn to you and only give you mixed feelings and thoughts:

“Yes I miss you too”

“I’ve Been Thinking About You Lately”

“I was wondering if you could stop by my house this weekend.”

“miss your eyes”

“You and me, meeting at Ben’s dinner tomorrow night?”

None of these examples contain an apology, nor do they convey a message that they have improved and are real this time.

Typically, during the second or third week of no contact, an ex sends these types of messages for their own needs: to satisfy loneliness, to satisfy their need for some intimacy, out of boredom, or just to play mind games.

5. The lack of scarcity won’t attract your ex again

Contacting your ex in the first week or two of no contact leaves no room for scarcity to make an impact.

Your ex won’t have the time to adjust to your absence and will miss you. Scarcity creates confusion, arouses curiosity and attraction.

It’s a bit difficult and unsafe to accept this fact in the beginning of No Contact since all you might want is to reconnect with your ex.

If you’ve been away from your ex for more than two weeks, your ex can start and acknowledge your absence.

Whether your relationship was good or bad, your ex will miss you after weeks of being out of touch.

6. You will make no progress in overcoming the breakup

Connecting with your ex during the first week or two of being banned will hinder your healing process.

Progress will be slower and more chaotic if you don’t invest time in focusing on yourself instead of focusing on getting back in touch with your ex right away.

It’s a bit difficult to tell at first if your ex has ever liked you or if he’s completely lost interest in you.

Instead of trying to figure things out on your own by focusing on your ex, try learning what it feels like to be alone. This will give you answers to several questions when it comes to your ex.

7. You’ll change your mind and might end up getting hurt again

For the first week or two, if you feel the urge to put things in order and reach out again, you could end up falling into deeper confusion and feeling pain again.

Your ex might be acting hot and cold during this time as even he hasn’t had enough time to experience relief, regret his decision, or miss you.

Since you’re hurt and want to heal by being around your ex, you might settle for less. Your ex might go and have other secret dates or offer to be friends just to keep you around.

1. Take part in new activities

If you’ve been in this relationship for a year or more, it’s very hard to take your mind off your ex after the breakup.

A first thing to do when starting No Contact after the breakup is to set a 30-day plan to reset yourself.

~ Start small. Find an activity to keep you busy.

~ Write your feelings in a journal and come back to it after a week so you can reflect on your feelings and choices.

~ Start accepting the breakup by finding the strength to live alone.

~ Surround yourself with friends and family.

~ Do yoga, go dancing, climb that mountain. Do whatever helps you regain emotional stability.

A 30 day plan or 30 day no contact will be a turning point to let go of all your feelings and accept the breakup.

This will only be the beginning of your healing. While it is the beginning for your ex to reconsider their decisions or choose to slowly move on.

2. Take a break from social media

It’s normal to want to know what your ex is thinking or doing for 2 weeks without contact.

Instead of immediately blocking your ex or deleting your posts with them, choose to deactivate your account for a while.

This is how you can manage the urge to stalk your ex. This will keep you from pain.

Note: Some ex-boyfriends may use shady posts on their account or post pictures showing how “happy” they feel after the breakup.

3. Try not to ask other people how your ex is

To break the chain of post-breakup obsession, try not to be around things that remind you of your ex.

If you’re hanging out with mutual friends who might take your ex along to any chat, be a little distanced from them as well.

Meet new people, gain a new perspective on your life. You need some time to step away from your previous meetings so that you can reflect better and not be influenced to make wrong decisions.

4. You need someone to talk to and get things out of your chest

Friends, family, and a decent relationship professional can go a long way in helping you through those first few weeks.

Don’t hold back by not talking to anyone about this topic and by repressing your feelings. Be aware that you are taking the advice you really need and using it according to your situation.

Friends and family can help you regain your health and emotional stability.

Whereas a relationship expert can help you gain a new perspective on yourself and your relationship, and help you chart a healthy path for the relationship to come.

5. Take a short trip with your friends or family

If you go on a short trip with your friends or family, stay humble and focused for the first few weeks without contact.

Waves of fear or loneliness may be present until you reach a point where you accept the fact that the breakup has happened.

You will get to this point by absorbing the love your friends and family give you, by going places you’ve never been, and by experiencing life beyond what your relationship was and was presented to you.

6. Change your mindset from “why me” to “what do I need to do to get ahead?”

In order to get through this critical time you are going through and find the answer to whether you should give up 2 weeks social distancing, you need to change your mindset.

You can do this by appreciating the past, learning how to come back to yourself and seeking the future.

It’s all okay in the second week of no contact feeling lonely, having low self esteem at the moment, blaming yourself and wondering if your ex ever wanted you.

Whether the breakup was bad or you decided to break up on good terms, you will be part of this emotional rollercoaster ride.

The temptation to break No Contact after two weeks is part of the healing process and knowing your limits.

Repeating being banned the second time all depends on the type of relationship you had, how your ex reacted after being banned, and how you feel after reconnecting with them.

~ Try launching No Contact for the second time. Even if your ex replied with a short text message or bothered you with breadcrumbs, keep your distance again. Give you and your ex some extra time to deal with your feelings.

~ Ask yourself how you felt after reconnecting. If you’ve had bittersweet feelings, this time try to focus on living alone. Make the difference between feeling alone and being back with your ex.

~ Clear your social media and keep email as your ex’s only contact. That way you won’t feel the urge to go back and break the no contact again. This time you will focus more on healing yourself.

~If you don’t want to completely cut off your communication with your ex, don’t block him or her. Blocking your ex immediately after breaking 2 weeks of no contact will give him the wrong idea.

They may think that you are playing games while trying to cope with your feelings and the breakup.

~ Be patient with the healing process of you and your ex. It takes time for both of you to get out of the breakup bubble.

~ Don’t be angry or feel unhappy if you don’t break contact. Try to understand why you did it in the first place. If loneliness was the reason, then try to overcome that feeling and find ways to enjoy your time without another person around.

~ If your ex replies, don’t rush him for no reason. Since you’re the one who broke the no contact, keep it casual and simple. Don’t share too much.

~ When the breakup happens, things won’t feel the same anymore. Even if your ex was emotionally attracted to you, a long-term relationship, or a long distance after you broke the no-contact relationship, it will also take them longer to rebuild.

Yes, you can only text or break contact with your ex if you have a good reason to do so and know how to approach without hurting yourself or your ex.

1. If you lived together and need to get your things back.

If you have been living together but have come to the conclusion that you need to move your things from their place, you can just contact them briefly.

Use simple text to just let them know about the time you’re going to get your stuff.

2. If you have a child together.

Having a child together might prevent you from practicing strictly no contact.

Since you share responsibility for your child and need their help, you can ask short and precise questions.

3. If you work together or live in the same house.

Sometimes it’s impossible not to communicate with your ex when your boss gives you a common task or you still live in the same house.

Try to keep the conversation centered around the task you need to get done, or have a quick talk about homework. Let your ex know your limits.

4. If you’ve amicably broken up but decided to stay away from contact just to give you and your ex space to think, then just send a simple message.

The text shouldn’t have a needy tone or just focus on what you want or how you’re feeling.

Let them know you care and want to know how they are doing.

Note: Don’t try to text your ex just because you miss them or use it as an excuse to reconnect with them because you’re feeling lonely.

If you reach out to your ex for just a chat and to tell him you miss him, your ex will give the sign that you are desperate and holding on to him.

Your ex may come back during and after the no-contact relationship for a variety of reasons. It all depends on your ex’s personality and what type of relationship you were in.

If in the first 3 weeks of no contact you were wondering what he thinks or does she think of me during lockdown, then find part of the answer as to why your ex contacted you.

Depending on why you broke up and how bad the breakup was, three weeks is enough to start thinking differently about you and your relationship.

If you have been in a relationship with a narcissist and are now using NC on them, he or she may come back after that time because of curiosity. Your ex wants to take control of your life again.

If your ex wasn’t emotionally attached to you enough, he may contact you after three weeks just to get his sexual needs met.

If your breakup was bad or even not that bad, but your ex never stopped loving/caring for you, then he will come back with a proper apology and ask you to make up.

If your ex was into you but was afraid to commit, then he might be back to find out if you’ve moved on or to see if he has a second chance.

If you’ve been strict with No Contact, maybe your ex could be fishing and looking for ways to show they’re sorry but unwilling to change their behavior.

Let’s not think of No Contact as a process that will make your ex forget you or move on. Your ex will miss you during No Contact and won’t move on in the blink of an eye.

You might focus more on yourself and think that you chose this method to feed off the breakup.

Think of it as a kind of vacation to break away from your relationship for a while.

Be patient with yourself, let fear get the better of you from time to time, but be able to control your mind and deal with the pain.

When you just got home from a date, it can be a little nerve-wracking figuring out when to text the person to let them know how it went. On the other hand, when you’re waiting for a guy to text you, you might feel a whole mix of emotions. While there aren’t any strict rules as to when a text message should be sent (or expected), there are some guidelines as to when you must make contact, regardless of how the date ended. We cover when to text, what to expect when you’re waiting for a text, and some example messages to send to your date!

Breaking up with someone is a painful experience, especially when you still love that person. If they broke up with you, then it’s even harder to deal with the reality that they don’t want you.

This is where the no-contact rule comes into play. It’s only right to avoid him and let him live your life, you can’t force love, can you? Well that is the plan if you want to get your ex back then respect the no contact rule maybe just get back together.

This article answers the question, “How long does it take for an ex to miss you without contact?” with tips on how to make her want you back.

11 tips to make your ex miss you more

How long does it take for an ex to miss you without contact? It should take two to four weeks depending on how you set the no-contact rule. If done right, your ex will start missing you in no time. If executed poorly, your ex may not miss you at all.

The no contact rule is a period of time when you intentionally refuse to reply or contact your ex in any way. The length of this process drives the question, “How long will it be before my ex misses me?” Sometimes when you give someone space, they realize how much they miss you.

The most important aspect of the no-contact rule is to prevent yourself from acting impulsively. You want to reach a stage where you are accountable for every single action you take with no regrets.

Yes, you will miss him, but stay focused on the task at hand; Maintain the no contact rule until he contacts you.

However, not every single breakup may require the no-contact rule. It depends on how the relationship ended. If there was a mutual understanding, the two parties can choose to remain friends. On the other hand, if you want them to miss you, you still need to establish the no contact rule.

2. Appear intermittently

If your ex-spouse has gotten used to the two of you not speaking to each other and is silently missing you, this is the perfect time to break the blues. The goal here is to get your ex’s mind wanting to work to change things.

It could be exciting to see your ex again and you can’t resist talking to them and finding out how they’re doing. However, no matter how you are feeling at that moment, it is best to only be seen by your ex occasionally and not often.

It’s also important that communication is limited, but they know you’re available now. This increases the desire to get you back. For example, you may decide to take a break from social media right after the breakup. After about two weeks without contact, you can start appearing on social media again.

Your ex-spouse might come across these images and possibly bring back old memories. They could try to reach you, but remember the no contact rule is not ready yet, so you must limit your communication with them even if you feel like contacting them.

3. Don’t think of it as a competition

It’s easy to win this guy back with a contest. If your ex broke up with you, you might want to prove something to him by winning him over. You may also be trying to prove something to yourself by trying to make her miss you in every way. So if you win her over, you might finally be able to regain your self-esteem.

The truth is, if you’re trying to reunite with your ex for any reason other than wanting to rebuild a real relationship with them, then it’s not a healthy move. If your motives are not right, the relationship could fall apart the second time around. If you don’t want to have the back and forth of getting back together and breaking up again, you need to have clear and honest motives.

It would help if you accepted the fact that at the end of the day your ex might not want to reunite with you, and that’s okay. If you feel getting her back is something you must achieve at all costs, then you would jeopardize your happiness for something that might fail.

Rebuild your self-esteem and understand that your self-esteem has nothing to do with whether or not your ex-partner wants you back.

4. Work on yourself

Being single isn’t as fun as being in a relationship, but most of the time being single is necessary if it keeps you from being in an unhealthy relationship. With every breakup, there is a lesson that both parties must learn from. You need to assess where exactly the problem was and what caused the breakup.

It would be best if you also identify where you made some mistakes and how you contributed to the failed relationship. It gives people some time to work on themselves, to accept that they are happy and comfortable when they are alone before they take care of the needs of others.

If the only reason you want to get back together with this guy is because you hate feeling lonely, then you wouldn’t be ready to handle the relationship when it came down to it.

It would be best to make a conscious effort to work on yourself, be genuinely happy and correct some of your mistakes before embracing the idea of ​​reuniting with this guy. Strive to make the future relationship even better than before by making a conscious effort to avoid past mistakes.

5. Be honest with yourself

You probably miss that like you and this guy did when you were still in a relationship. But no matter how hard you try to comply with the no-contact rule, stay true to yourself. How did it end? Have you broken up more than once?

This is your chance to reevaluate the relationship, yes you might miss him but is this guy really good for you? Or does he even want you back? The circumstances of the breakup will give you more insight into that; was anyone else in the picture?

Were there any serious problems? Even if not, are you sure that coming back with that person is the best choice? If not, it’s time to move on. If you can compromise, the relationship is bound to get better. Whatever the situation, stay honest with yourself about the facts.

6. Get help from others

You obeyed the no-contact rule, you didn’t check his social media pages, you even started yoga classes to (maybe) calm you down. What’s next? Well, you might need a few extra hands if you want this guy to rush back to you.

Frustrated that he’s not paying you as much attention as he used to?

This is one of the most common problems faced by our female readers.

The #1 factor that makes men behave this way is actually relatively easy to change with a few subtle things you can tell him today. Check out this free video (click the link to watch) my friend recorded that explains how you can become his priority!

They could be mutual friends or someone you can trust to complete the task. You would need someone who can get close enough to your partner and give you some information about them. does he miss you Has he mentioned your name since the breakup? stuff like this.

On the other hand, this person could also help tell the boy something about you. How well you are, how good you looked when they saw you just to get his interest. This process could make them want you more, so it’s important to establish it well. You don’t want the situation to look staged; Otherwise, it would be a total departure from your ex-partner.

You just want to make them understand that you are doing better than expected. The friend you choose must introduce the topic subtly and not overshadow the entire conversation with stories of your exploits. The discussion also needs to be light and chatty to allow things to happen naturally.

7. Plan an unexpected meeting

The next part of the plan is to host an unexpected meeting. You’d have to meet your ex-partner to show them in person what they’ve been missing. To do this, you need to remember certain habits of your partner, for example, shopping habits. You have to get the timing right and maybe go with someone else.

Note that you are not trying to make him jealous, the person should be more of a support system or wing woman making sure you don’t do anything stupid. If he’s at the supermarket, you need to be there at the right time and act cool, calm, and collected. When you finally meet him, keep the conversation short and friendly.

Act like old friends who just got back together but still keep your distance, you could compliment him and then tell him it was nice to meet him. You don’t want to pretend you don’t know him, that would be fake. Remember, be casual, don’t flirt, and keep the conversation short.

If he had real feelings for you, he would probably miss you even more. This gives you the advantage to step in and get your ex partner back.

8. Keep your cool

Your ex may want to know about your new life without her and as a result may be asking people about you. Because of this, it is important not to involve too many people in the plans to get your ex back. It’s important not to talk to anyone about your ex except to help you.

If your ex ever asked around, they would find out that you’ve been in the background for a while. If they find out you didn’t ask about him, your apparent disinterest will make your ex want you even more.

When your ex eventually contacts you, which is entirely possible with this step, it’s important to maintain a balance between interest and disinterest. You want this guy to start missing you enough to regret breaking up with you, so you don’t want to come across as needy.

Because of this, it’s important to keep your cool throughout the process. Ask how they are and don’t get too involved. Chances are, it won’t be long before your ex crawls back into your arms.

9. Back in the game

After staying cool for a while and giving the impression that you’ve stayed cool, the next thing to do is liven things up. If you were more open-minded before the breakup, you need to get back in the game. At this point, most of the work would be done, so all you have to do is wait.

In the meantime, there’s no harm in having fun. Post more often on social media, make new friends, and generally be optimistic about your life. However, be careful not to shadow your ex-partner. It’s only normal to feel hurt after the breakup, you might even want to post negative things on your social media about the downsides of relationships – don’t do it!

Look within to find positive motivation for your actions. You want your ex back because you miss him and the relationship you had with each other. Therefore, try to keep these positive thoughts without giving the wrong impression on the internet.

The process of respecting and applying the no contact rule is for your ex to respond and want you back. However, it may take a while, so it is advisable to make yourself comfortable. Go out more often and try to forget the waiting time.

10. The actual meeting should be informal

Your ex might contact you a few weeks after the breakup. It’s only normal that after all the distance between the two of you, he would want to see you in person. Sooner or later, they won’t be able to deny the fact that they miss you. Just because your ex wants to meet up doesn’t necessarily mean they want to see each other again, they may be trying to build a friendship, which is a good place to start.

Don’t rush him, it’s even better to listen more and talk less, don’t make suggestions. Don’t hide your feelings though, he might suggest something you don’t agree with, don’t go along with it just because you feel it’s what he wants.

For example, if he affirms that he doesn’t want the relationship anymore but is willing to be friends with him, let him know your thoughts on the matter. This might be the last time you guys hang out like this, so let him know that you still have feelings for him, but you’re willing to give him the space he needs.

He may feel the same, but ego and pride often get in his way. However, it doesn’t matter who says it first, it doesn’t even matter if they return those feelings. What matters is that you are honest and you get the degree you need.

11. Address the situation head-on

The worst thing you can do is completely ignore the real issue when dating your ex. You might want to start something brand new, but it’s pretty obvious that you’ll both be pondering what caused the breakup in the first place. If you choose not to resolve the dispute immediately, you are both carrying the baggage to a later part of the relationship.

Another mistake you might be tempted to make is to cheer up the moment with too many compliments. You want your ex-spouse to be comfortable, so you could say they’re handsome, have a ridiculous smile, and appear charming. The truth is, your ex already knows you, so it’s best to get to the point and identify the problem.

All points that need clarification should be clarified before the start of the friendship. This will give you both healthy ground to build a profitable relationship.

Have you ever received a random text message months after you last heard from a guy?

Funny, sometimes he comes at 3 a.m. and you can already guess what he wants.

But then again, sometimes that text message comes at 2pm on a Tuesday, and you might be wondering why the hell is he texting me now?

Here are the top 15 reasons:

15 reasons why a guy texts you out of nowhere

1) He wants an update on your life

One of the most likely reasons a guy will text you after being missing for months is because he just wants to know what you’re up to.

There is only a limited amount you can find out through social media and many men are turning to you to learn more about your life.

This is especially true if the two of you dated for a while before you stopped talking.

He once cared for you deeply and even though you two are no longer together, those feelings don’t just go away.

do you see someone else Do you regret the breakup? have you moved on

The answers to all of these questions are hard to get from your Instagram feed, so they might just ambush you with a “Hey, what’s up?” to start the conversation and learn more later!

2) It’s a booty call

More often than not, a random text out of the blue is an indicator that he’s just horny and looking for sex.

You’ve probably heard of the famous “You’re up?” at 1am. Text. If his text is similar to this, there’s a good chance it’s just a booty call.

The reason guys go back to ex-girlfriends or people they used to date is because it’s just easier.

Calling an ex doesn’t require you to get to know each other first, and they usually already know the sex is going to be good.

In most cases, you’ll be able to identify this type of text because it’s often straight to the point and there isn’t too much “What did you do?” involved.

3) He misses you

It often takes men a little time to realize what they have lost.

That’s why sometimes a random text after weeks or months of no contact could be an indicator that he’s finally entered the grieving phase and missing you.

This of course depends on the relationship and the breakup you’ve had, but it’s not uncommon for two people to care deeply about each other but find that they just aren’t a good fit in a relationship.

If that’s the case, it’s totally normal to still miss that person and feel the urge to be in touch.

Being in a relationship with someone affects a huge part of your life, and that’s not something that’s easily erased.

Even after some time, the lack of your presence can still be very obvious to him.

It’s hard to tell what his exact intention is in texting you and sometimes men don’t even know themselves, they just missed you and didn’t think twice before hitting send.

4) To keep you close

This can come from a variety of different intentions.

Maybe he’s been telling you things he’s afraid to share with the world, so he’s purposely trying to stay on your good side and be a friend.

Or he just wants you in his life and regular updates on where you are.

Another reason he might try to keep you close to him is that he doesn’t want to let go of you, but he’s also not sure how you fit into his life right now.

5) He wants to be friends with benefits

If a guy texts you months after things ended, there’s a good chance he’s single, missed the great sex you both had, and figured a friendship with benefits would be the best of both worlds.

He went to MIA for months to sever the emotional connection they both shared and now he believes it’s a good time to make up and see each other again, no strings attached.

A word of caution with this one. Of course, the decision is entirely yours, but after you’ve been in love before, it’s incredibly hard not to get feelings again when you’re intimately reunited.

Old feelings may surface and depending on the breakup between the two of you, you may get hurt again.

Being friends with someone on benefits without getting feelings is hard enough, even harder when you’ve had a deep emotional connection before.

Before you decide, you should be clear about your own intentions.

Is there a tiny part of you that hopes that sex will make you feel again and bring the two of you together?

If that’s the case, then do yourself a favor and decline. The likelihood of getting hurt is exponentially higher than the joy you could derive from it.

6) He feels guilty

how was your breakup One reason a guy might reach out to you out of the blue might be because he feels guilty.

Maybe things didn’t work out very well between the two of you, and he doesn’t want you to forever blame him for the way things turned out.

Believe it or not, sometimes guys eventually get over their pride and feel guilty for the way they treated you.

If that’s why your ex texted you, you probably already know it because they apologized.

This can be a really good thing as you can talk about anything and find that closure that you might have missed the first time.

It’s hard to tell if he’s just apologizing or if he has ulterior motives, but in any case, don’t read too much into it at first and just appreciate the apology!

7) He was reminded of you

If you’ve both been in a relationship for a while, your life has gotten a little convoluted, which is perfectly normal.

You’ve done a lot together and those memories don’t just go away.

The reason why he wrote to you could be that something in his daily life reminded him of you.

This could be a stroll past the bakery where you always have breakfast on Sunday mornings, or accidentally buying that tea that only you like to drink.

Whatever it was, it brought back a vivid memory of you and he wanted to get in touch.

These memories often cause feelings to resurface, which could also mean he’s reconsidering the breakup.

To find out if that’s the case, you’ll need to see how things develop. He may have had no intention of texting you other than to catch up.

8) You are the rebound

Was the guy texting you dating someone else after you two were dating?

Sorry to tell you, but in this case, a random text could mean you’re the rebound now. Maybe his relationship didn’t work out and now that he’s single he wants you back.

Depending on how recent this breakup was, his feelings, while perhaps not conscious, might not be real.

He doesn’t want to feel the pain of the breakup, so he tries to move on as soon as possible.

And what’s quicker and easier than someone who’s had feelings for you before?

In this situation, you should know that you don’t owe him anything.

When you are the rebound, you must decide your own worth and whether you are willing to fill someone else’s void, just for the sake of it.

Of course, there’s a chance that the failed relationship actually showed him what he lost, and he really wants things to work out.

This is a decision only you can make as you know him and yourself better than anyone.

9) He wants to make up

Hand in hand with the above point, there is a chance that he wants to make up and get back together with you.

Whether he’s been in another relationship or not, there are times when a guy really wants to make things work.

Key word: work. If that’s the case, remember that there was a reason you both ended things in the first place.

And not being a party person, just missing each other isn’t going to magically make a new relationship work.

For a failed relationship to work again, something has to change. And that means working hard on the issues that caused your last relationship to fail.

Has he shown signs of getting the job done?

If so, and provided you have a genuine desire to try again, there’s nothing wrong with trying again.

It takes effort, dedication and dedication, but where there’s a will there’s a way.

10) He feels insecure and wants attention

Just like us, boys have periods of insecurity. When that happens, they sometimes revert to getting attention from an ex.

Nothing puts a bandaid on insecurity faster than getting the attention of someone they like.

As twisted as that may sound, since he is literally using you for his own comfort, sometimes these things happen subconsciously.

He feels down but isn’t very connected to his emotions and something in him just has the urge to hit you.

Seeing how you respond even after months of not speaking can give him the confidence boost he needs to feel comfortable again.

This is difficult to identify as it can be disguised as an innocent “Hey, how are you?” Text.

Whether that’s the reason he’s texting you or not, the best thing you can do is go with your gut.

Do you really want to talk to him and catch up, or are you relatively indifferent to what’s going on in his life?

Do what’s best for you and don’t worry too much about his ulterior motives.

11) He is bored

This one is sticky. As much as we hate hearing it, when a guy texts us out of the blue, a lot of the time he’s just plain bored.

Before I dive into this paragraph, I want to mention that not all types are created equal. BUT women tend to be a little more concerned about who they text and when.

Although you wouldn’t actually text him for fear of giving the wrong impression, maybe he was just bored, thinking about you and didn’t think twice before hitting send.

In this case, be careful with your emotions and your heart. If he’s just bored, he might dump you as soon as he got back to you.

Proceed cautiously and see where things are headed without putting too much hope on it.

12) He wants an ego boost

How was your relationship? Was he the one who ended things when you were trying to make it work?

If so, he might enjoy reaching out to you and being reminded that you still care about him.

Again, as much of an asshole as this may sound, sometimes this happens on a subconscious level, without him consciously wanting to take advantage of you in this way.

But sometimes it’s entirely intentional, so be careful.

I know that’s not the reason you wanted to hear, but unfortunately it’s pretty common.

It also serves as a cocoon of security for him, knowing there is always a plan B waiting for him.

Take care of yourself and see how you feel during the interaction. Don’t get your hopes up too quickly!

13) He doesn’t like being alone

Whether he just got out of another relationship or it just took him the weeks/months of no contact to figure that out, another reason he might text you out of the blue is that he doesn’t like being alone.

Some people really struggle with it. While one thrives in his own business, another feels miserable.

Maybe he belongs to the latter. He might have realized that being together is fun and exciting, and most importantly, he doesn’t need to be alone.

If you feel the same way, know that it’s more of an exercise than a gift. You really have to be alone a lot to enjoy your company.

And believe me, getting by on your own is an extremely valuable skill!

It will help you be more confident, make you less dependent on others, and allow you to do the things you love even when no one else wants to do it.

If he texts you about this, be wary that he’s using you for temporary comfort.

14) A friend asked about you

If the two of you have been dating for a while, there’s a good chance you have mutual friends, or at least know his friends well.

You may have been in the same shoes before where a friend asks about your ex out of the blue.

Then you know that if he has tried to forget you and walk away from you, this can trigger old memories and feelings.

Because of this, he may have accidentally been reminded to check on you.

It’s a human thing, and technically there’s nothing wrong with it, but it can get very confusing for the person on the receiving end of the text.

You may need to talk more to get to the bottom of his real intentions with you.

15) He likes a challenge

Some guys get carried away with having a challenge when chasing after a girl.

If you haven’t kept in touch after the breakup or have ignored his attempts to communicate, he may suddenly be interested because you’re not making it easy for him.

As screwed up as it is, some guys will start to see you as a puzzle to be solved rather than a person and will try everything in their power to win you over.

This can be charming at first, after all they go to all that trouble to get you back.

But watch out, sometimes he’ll be gone as soon as you give in and give him the validation he’s been looking for, *puff*.

He solved the mystery, got what he wanted, and that was it.

To find out if that’s his intention, you have to be careful when you talk to him and make sure he doesn’t let you tempt you into catching feelings again before you know his true intentions.

It depends on you

When a guy from your past bumps into you, there are countless reasons he could have done so.

The only person who really knows how to handle the situation is you.

Take these reasons as inspiration and see what resonates most with your past relationship and what would be the most likely given the person they are and the connection you shared.

I can’t give you any specific tips on what to do because in the end you will know in your heart.

All I can say is be careful at first and don’t rush your decisions right away.

If he wants to get back in touch, he can put in a little effort to prove to you that his intentions are pure.

You are in control of how you respond to these situations, so take back your power and do what is best for you!

Exploring male psychology: 9 phases and 22 things that come to mind for a man during the no-contact rule

Men and women are just not made equal. You could go from Adam and Eve to Pam and Jim.

What I want to say is that the mind of a man and a woman works differently. Especially when it comes to including thoughts and feelings. Or maintaining/managing oneself during a breakup.

Which leads us to ask: What’s on a guy’s mind during No Contact?

Mind reading isn’t an option here, but you may be able to know some of the stages he’s going through and what he’s thinking during that time just by reading this article.

If you or your ex think there is a chance to restore your relationship, then the no contact rule will help bring him back to you one step at a time!

If you apply the no contact rule to a male dumper, these are the 9 stages one will go through!

1. At the beginning of the process he feels independent, free and undisturbed

When you start using the no contact rule with a dumper, he feels free and independent for the first few days.

He will enjoy his first week as a single. At this point, he thinks that he has taken the load off his shoulders and that not having you in his life won’t be such a big problem for him.

2. He’s curious and will wonder what you’re up to

After being “free” and feeling like himself, he now transforms into a curious cat. I mean, man, nosy man.

The no-rule contact helps you to see if the threads are hanging in your relationship.

If he doesn’t hear from you in two weeks, no calls or texts, he’ll be worried.

The information gap you created will prompt him to fill in the gaps.

Because from a male point of view, after a week you should crawl back to him and maybe even beg him to come back. Or even post a desperate status or story on your social media.

Having no information, he makes up his own stories. He begins to realize that something has happened!

3. After not getting any reply from you, he is confused

After two weeks he is now wondering if he should contact you indirectly or directly just to find out why you haven’t called or written yet.

Now he will feel that you cut him off and he will find a way to ask your friends like a picture of you or he might even text you.

The moment you don’t answer, his curiosity increases even more!

4. He’s scared and way too proud to face his mistakes

The moment you don’t reply or interact with him, he will wonder what’s going on.

At this point, he won’t bother to think about his behavior. What he can change or not be around you again. He’ll start to suspect that maybe it’s because of how he broke up with you, but he’ll also kind of blame you for that distance.

He’s still not ready to know and doesn’t want to know that his decision affected your distance!

5. He’s scared he lost you

He will stop and remember you and the whole relationship. A man has this kind of notion that if a person loves you, he or she will do something to fix things or fix the relationship.

But he does not include himself in this matter.

While enforcing the no contact rule, he expects that you should start doing something to try to reach him.

The moment he realizes that you don’t, he realizes that he may have lost you and thinks deeply about his decisions.

Note If he is interested in improving his relationship with you, he will break the no contact rule and try to talk to you. If not, then you will know if he is still undecided or has already moved on.

6. He thinks he’s out of control

Since he has no idea what’s going on and how to deal with this situation, he goes a little crazy.

He will feel this way by the end of the second or third week. Now that you are no longer a presence in his life, he will go insane. For a few reasons.

First, he’s used to a female presence and attention, and now that he doesn’t have your attention, he feels inferior. And inferiority leads him to anger.

Second, he is aware that he has strong feelings for you and he regrets his decision. Now he’s wondering if he can win you back.

His last words and behavior are haunting him now!

*Sidenote: When angry/confused and out of control, he says or writes things he doesn’t mean! Sometimes he says/writes negative things about you.

7. He starts interacting with other people for a short time

If your ex finds you as a potential partner or someone he sees a future with during this time, he will start a mini-project called Seeing Other People.

He will only do it to make sure of his feelings and if he sees you as a long-term partner and not just an affair. The moment he realizes that other women are not his girlfriend or wife, he will call or text you and tell you how he feels.

I’m not saying all men do this, some are shy or even way too proud to tell you that you’re the one. Some might just do it to make you jealous and to tell you that he will win this breakup.

But the guy who wants to be involved in your life again will let you know.

8. He will stop and think!

At this stage, he will stop and think about his choices, your behavior, and this relationship. He will seek the answer if there was some kind of balance in that relationship.

Now he will only check if you often had useless arguments, if you had fun and knew how to put your feelings above any stupid argument or argument.

All of this will go through his mind during the no contact rule as he decides whether or not to continue the relationship.

9. He faces the truth and accepts the fact

Not all men can reach the final stage. Some of them will stick to one or others will jump from one to another, but not in chronological order.

But as your ex reaches the final stages, they’re now clear about whether they want to be your friend, want to continue the relationship, or are now more than certain that they need to move on to another partner.

The final stage can be reached after three or more weeks. It depends on how long it takes your ex to think about your breakup, repair your relationship, and decide what his next move is with you.

For the first few days, No Contact can bring some kind of relief. He just doesn’t think about how this whole situation is going to feel inside him for the next few days.

1. “Well, now I’m free and ready to discover new things”

2. “Who said that ending things would make me sad and unhappy?” “I feel the opposite.”

When he hits days 7 and 9, when he has no connection with you, his mind gets triggered. He will worry if he has crossed your mind.

1. “Why hasn’t she called or texted me yet?”

2. “What has she been up to lately”?

3. “Did she think of me?”

4. “She hasn’t posted anything since we broke up”

After two weeks:

After two weeks without contact, he will be able to see the value of your relationship. It is the beginning of the reflection, since it will take a few weeks to reach the final goal. Deciding what to do.

1. “Were her feelings towards me genuine?”

2. “What on earth have I been doing since she didn’t even check on me?”

3. “Am I better with her or is she right for me?”

4. “Was I just playing games and now she doesn’t want me back?”

30 days of not hearing from you is a time that helps create the necessary distance that makes him think. He will either decide to move on or come back to you.

1. “I must have hurt her”

2. “Before I go crazy and make assumptions, I’m going to text her first.”

3. “I was a happier and better person in her presence”

4.” I realized I can move on without her, but I need her as my friend.” “I don’t want to lose her completely.”

5. Maybe she doesn’t like/love me anymore.”

If more than 30 days have passed without contact, he will have this urge to know what happened to you. Have you moved on or do you still want to be with him? In that case, if you don’t hear from him, try reaching out to him and finding out where your relationship stands.

1. “By now she must have forgotten me and moved on”

2. “I should call her and apologize and see what she’s up to.”

3. “She found someone new” “Or maybe she got back with another ex”

4. “I’m over it, can’t take it anymore.”

5. “I should think about leaving this relationship and looking for something else.”

6. “I think I’m the winner of this breakup, I’ll get them to contact me first.”

7. “I’m better off without her anyway”

What I recommend you do during the no contact rule is to be strong and focus on yourself. Focus most closely on self-improvement and knowing what you expect and want from this relationship.

Stop thinking about what your ex is doing or thinking: if you focus on them, you will make unwanted mistakes that will make you look needy and clingy.

Don’t interact with him (no texting, calling, liking posts or anything). Even an indirect interaction with your ex will not help you at all. Because you will start to judge things by how he behaves or what he does.

Avoid fantasizing about things and be real. Instead of creating false scenarios or having false hopes with someone else, focus on yourself. Don’t immediately jump into another relationship just to make him jealous.

As you focus on yourself and let go of things you can’t control (e.g. thoughts), give him and you time to know how to move forward in this relationship.

Whether or not social distancing works for a man depends on the type of relationship you have or the reason you broke up.

It’s important to highlight whether or not he still has strong feelings for you and whether he still sees you as a long-term partner?

One of the signs that you know if the no-contact rule is working for a man is when you rekindle attraction.

Men react differently to the NC rule than women. But the distance will make him appreciate what he had!

Being mysterious and being apart from him for some time can help reignite things, but what matters is the way he broke up with you.

A mature guy and the one who has true feelings for you will ask you for some space, and if he really does feel for you, the no contact rule will easily work.

Therefore, keeping your distance from him and not interacting after a few days, thinking about his decisions and finally making a conclusion for your future relationship will make him happy, angry and confused.

Remember that women use no contact to see if a man is changing and if they have a chance to develop a good relationship with each other. Women don’t want to use it as a control tool. Some men may do this too, but most men use the woman’s no-social period as a self-centered way to see if she feels needy of him and get her back.

The answer is yes. If you keep your distance, your ex will miss you. Think of it this way: Radio Silence will make him think about your worth and presence. Whether he cares about you or not, it will make him want to find out what made him like you or fall in love with you!

A man likes to be needed even after the breakup, but when he doesn’t want to be chased or pursued all the time like women do. A man likes to do things he wants, when he wants, when he feels ready.

That way, you’ll keep his interest and make him miss you. Just by making them all mysterious and not clingy. But still give him enough space until you are self-nourished and feel ready to face his ultimate answer.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for the answer as to whether he’ll get back to you, it all depends on how things ended.

1. What is the worst thing about No Contact?

The worst part of the no contact rule is when you do it expecting instant results. The only important result to come out of No Contact should be to nurture yourself and focus more on how you can improve.

Then, when you’ve reached that point, you can tell if continuing this relationship is the right choice, and you’ll find it easier to face reality in the end.

2. How long does it take for non-contact to work for a man?

It depends on how bad the breakup was and how long you’ve been together. This includes your ex’s personality.

The male spirit after no contact is not the same as that of a woman. It will be up to two/or three weeks before you realize you are absent from his life.

The moment he feels the urge to text or call you or even interact with you, you know the NC Rule has started to work.

3. Will my ex forget me during the NC period?

The definitive answer is no, your ex will not forget you during this time. Being aloof for a while will increase his curiosity. What are you doing or who are you dating?

But if you keep a long period without contact, such as B. 40+ days or more, this will give mixed signals to your ex.

If you do not contact a man for more than 2 months, he will receive this as a sign that he will move on. The 30 day rule of psychology is the best one to follow. Because it gives you and your ex time to think and see if you still have feelings for each other.

A man’s mind isn’t easy to decipher, but what you can do to get a better idea of ​​how a man’s mind works during the NC rule is track the 30 days of no contact and see what happened!

This type of ghosting can make you feel miserable. So why do guys stop texting and then start again?

Why do guys stop texting and then start again?

Understanding why guys stop texting a girl can give you some kind of closure. It also helps you determine your next move and whether the relationship is worth your time.

1. He likes secrets

Why do guys text you first and then don’t reply? Some guys want to be mysterious in their relationship. They find it exciting not to always be available.

2. He wants you to miss him

What does it mean when a guy stops texting you every day? Sometimes he wants you to know how it feels when he’s not in your life; and that makes you appreciate the little things you do together more.

3. He plays hard to come by

Hard to get playing is stereotyped as a women’s game, but men do it sometimes. There’s a culture where men stay silent for days after a date. It’s a strategy aimed at making a man seem harder to get and not desperately waiting for the next date.

It becomes a waiting game where the guy sees you online but doesn’t want to be the first to text. If you don’t text him, it may be a few days or even weeks before he texts you.

4. His mind might be busy with other things

No one is too busy for the people they love as they will always make time based on their priorities. Your relationship may not be at a stage where it warrants being prioritized to this extent.

In such a situation, he can disappear for days without even texting. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to text you. It could be that he’s busy with something and plans to text you after he’s done whatever it is.

5. You’re not the only person he texts to

Before a guy chooses the girl he wants to be with, he probably has to text many girls before he falls in love with the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

This means that he stops texting you because he hasn’t decided yet whether he wants to be with you or not. If he starts texting you again, it means you are the one he chose.

6. You’ve run out of things to talk about

Some people are just not good at holding conversations, and others get tired of small talk. It can get embarrassing when they can’t find an exciting topic to discuss. That’s why they prefer to remain silent until they find something to talk about.

7. He likes to take things slowly

If you’ve recently started talking to a guy and he suddenly slows down in communication, chances are he’s not ready to rush into a relationship. He might keep quiet so as not to give you false hope.

8. He’s just not that into you

Why do guys stop writing so much? As painful as it is, a guy might stop texting you if he’s not that into you.

9. Maybe he thinks it’s not going to work out

Sometimes a guy will slow down communication or stay silent because he might feel like things aren’t working out between you two. Instead of looking you straight in the face to tell you this, he could soften the impact of the punch by remaining silent. After a while, he might reappear and pretend nothing happened.

10. You insulted him

Why do guys suddenly stop texting? If you were having a good conversation and he abruptly left it midway without warning, chances are something offended or triggered him. In that case, he could take a few days off to cool off and maybe resurface.

What to do if he stops writing in the middle of a conversation? When something like this happens, give him space to process his emotions. If you suspect you have offended him, apologize when he shows up again.

11. He’s really into you and it scares him

Why do guys suddenly stop communicating? If he suddenly stops texting you, there is a high possibility that he is falling in love with you and is not ready to tell you. The thought of developing feelings for someone can freak someone out.

So if a guy accidentally disappears while discussing a possible future between the two of you, he might be scared of falling in love with you. So if he does that stunt on you, give him time to get his priorities straight.

12. He seeks your attention and approval

You may be a busy bee and he probably doesn’t seem to be able to push himself to reach you. So he wants to get your attention by making you curious about his disappearance. In most cases, this happens when the guy feels like he has no control over the relationship. Therefore, he finds strength by reappearing.

13. He needs space

Why do men stop texting for a few days? Guys need space to process what they’re going through. Most of them are not the best at communicating or not in touch with their emotions; so they often take time for themselves.

If that’s why he doesn’t talk to you, say so. Give him time if he comes straight to the point and asks for a seat.

14. He might be confused

Why do men stop texting for a few days? Maybe he’s going through an inner conflict and he’s not sure what he wants. Or maybe he’s not sure what he’s feeling. He might choose to take some time off to sort out this case. After solving his problem, he will find his way back to you.

Another likely reason could be that he is not ready to be in a relationship but likes you so much.

15. He might be intimidated by you

Why do guys stop texting? He’s probably intimidated by you. You could be a brilliant and beautiful woman who seems to have everything under control. Therefore, he could use the non-contact time to feel more validated.

If he’s intimidated, he might have nothing more to say. It might also make him feel like he’s not enough. So instead of talking about it, he could take the easier route and disappear for a while.

He stopped texting me – what should I do?

The above reasons are why guys stop texting first. Knowing them gives you some kind of closure. Here are some tips on what to do if he stops calling and texting. They might help you feel better.

1. Give him one last chance

If you feel like they are ignoring your messages, you should call. If the mood is cold, chances are they’re deliberately keeping quiet about you.

The best ghosting answers would be a funny picture or video that you think they might like. His reaction will show if things are cool between you two.

If the mood is off, don’t bombard him with texts or calls. Making peace with the reality of things will give you a better footing as you move on.

2. Talk to him

If he’s a guy you started dating, you might not be aware of his texting patterns. Consider taking some time to understand him. If you find that he likes you and has bad texting habits, you can talk to him and see if he can change.

What should I write after I’ve been ghosted?

If he doesn’t tell you, you can share a message that you think will remind you of him. This text could be the perfect conversation starter.

3. Walk away

You’re doing yourself a favor by walking away because he’s just wasting your time.

Boys in love can be romantic, but things can change quickly and leave you with more questions than answers. For example, why do guys stop texting and then start again? The answers to this question are varied. People are different, and they respond to love affairs in their own unique ways. That said, there are some common reasons guys go silent for a while and then go back to their usual selves.

An SMS will appear from your crush.

You see it immediately – but when do you write back? You don’t want to say on the phone that you’re waiting, but you don’t want to come across as rude or disinterested either.

For guidance, Tech Insider consulted Daniel Post Senning, Emily Post’s great-great-grandson and author of Manners in a Digital World. He works for the Emily Post Institute, which has been publishing etiquette guides since the 1940s.

Post Senning’s general rule is not to wait more than one to three hours for a response, he tells TI.

“A text conversation can be outdated in a few hours,” he says. “Don’t just keep them waiting.”

If you have a crush on someone, don’t play mind games, he says. Healthy relationships aren’t built on gaining emotional power over people by not texting them back.

The appropriate time-lapse depends on a shared (and unspoken) set of emotional expectations, says Post Senning. The longer you date someone and develop a relationship, the greater the expectations of a faster text response.

Don’t make her wait. Daniel Goodman / Business Insider

When you’ve just started dating someone, it can be difficult. At first, don’t expect to text back right away, he says. However, if you’ve been dating someone for several months or a year, you should generally text yourself back within the hour you see the message.

When it comes to modern romance and texting, Post Senning says you should come across as considerate, respectful, and honest.

“Make your intentions clear,” he says. “There’s something inherently attractive about someone who’s got it and who’s sincere.”

Finally, Post Senning also reminds us not to take things too seriously. Just do it – text them back.

“If you know they’re the one and if you care about them, you can break the rules,” he says.

We’re finally breaking down what men think when women don’t text them back!

If he’s giving you hints that you’re texting him too much and wants you to stop texting him, that’s another matter. We already know how he feels at this point.

For whatever reason you don’t text him, let it be games, work, not knowing what to text, etc… He’ll think about it.

However, it boils down to a very important question: Doesn’t texting a guy make him want you more?

Well it might and it might not… What he thinks when you don’t contact him depends on your connection and your two personalities.

If you don’t text him, he may think you’re busy, ignore him on purpose, play games to get attention, worry about you, think he’s done something wrong, or not think at all about it.

There are more detailed things that could be going on in his head. And I made sure to make a list of them!

12 Things He Thinks When You Don’t Text Him Back:

1. He thinks you’re busy

This is a very common thought when you don’t reply to his message.

It’s more of a rational thing to think about and usually when he hasn’t waited too long for your reply.

If he’s also busy and understands what it’s like and feels like to be busy, he’ll be more likely to think about it if you don’t reply to his message.

On the other hand, if you overdo the timing and we’re not talking hours but days, then thoughts begin to reach another level of irrationality.

2. He thinks he did/said something wrong: he thinks he messed up

If you take way too long, he might feel like you’re ignoring him. He’ll most likely think about it, especially if you don’t answer his calls.

The thought “What did I do wrong? has plenty of room to intervene if you haven’t specifically spoken to him about a busy day or something similar.

In this case, he will think and reconsider all the things he has said and done to find out the wrong that made you so angry or sad or angry that you did not answer him for a long time.

If you’re playing a game to keep his interest, text won’t keep him interested.

3. He thinks you’re deliberately ignoring him as part of a game

That’s what he usually thinks when you’re not texting him, when you’re just starting out, when you don’t know much about each other.

It can be quite a logical explanation for himself since a text takes a few seconds to be written and sent.

“What the hell is she up to?!” There are tons of materials circulating on social media offering advice to women on how to behave, and more specifically, “how to get him to stalk you.”

Unfortunately, many women follow these “techniques” that don’t lead to healthy foundations in a relationship.

Since such “advice” is all over the media, he most likely couldn’t help but at least see/hear/read something about it.

He’s probably looked into this before; The thought that you’re playing games if you don’t reply to his messages for too long will probably cross his mind at some point.

4. He ponders whether or not sending another text message is a good idea

If you don’t contact them, they can consider whether sending another text message would result in you contacting them again.

We’ve heard of double texting before, haven’t we? Well, this is one of those times when he thinks about sending another text message and in most cases he does.

He might just text you again to make sure you got the message, or a “Hellooo?” to let you know he’s alive and there, but he might just choose not to say another word to you to write.

He’s definitely thinking about it, and whether he does (decides to send another text) or not, we don’t know the exact chances of that happening.

5. He worries because he thinks something happened to you

When he’s used to your quick reply and made sure he didn’t do anything wrong, he’ll start thinking that something happened to you or that your phone must have broke somehow.

“Is she okay?” We heard stories, we saw movies, we read books. A long enough period of time can make a man think and make him contemplate the worst-case scenario.

If you’re early in the dating phase, this probably isn’t the case. However, if he’s in a relationship and you know he loves you, that might cross his mind.

6. “I hurt her the last time we talked.”

Guys feel confused if they keep reading. However, if you haven’t left his message on Read, he might be concerned.

If you had an argument or a little debate that can’t even be considered a fight or argument, chances are he’ll think about it once the waters calm down a bit.

If something deviates from the routine and there is a slight change in the way you speak or even the time it takes you to reply to his/her messages, there is definitely room for “I hurt him/her”.

7. “What the heck is going on?”

This is a common thought, especially if you don’t answer his calls.

He may be confused and have no idea what could possibly be the reason you are not replying to his messages or answering his calls.

Men don’t usually think about the details, when they get confused they get confused.

You will be in his mind for a while, which could present you as a mysterious figure to his eyes. Of course, this is usually at the beginning of the relationship (e.g. early phase of dating).

On the other hand, if you are in a long-term relationship with him, confusion might kick him hard and worrying.

8. “Did she even see my message?! What if she’s no longer interested in me?”

Another way to justify and explain your silence might be the famous thought, “Did she get the message?”.

We women do it too, we know the drill.

After seeing the two checks, or maybe if you let him read, he might just question your interest in him.

Either that, or you’ll automatically become this interesting mystery that fuels his imagination about what you’re up to and how you go about your day.

9. “Why is she taking so long to reply?” – He might even google it!

Anything just to explain some mysterious behavior, right? We all know this, and as surprising as it may sound, men do it too. They also google things.

So, he might think searching “why is she taking too long to reply” is a good idea to calm his mind a bit.

Again, if you’re in a long-term relationship, he’ll be more likely to reconsider and give more thought to explaining your behavior.

10. “Should I up my game? Is my texting getting boring?”

Men don’t think as much as we women do. However, once he has walked that path, he will try.

“I sent something boring, great!” He’s probably going to question his texting skills at this point, too. This will make you appear more desirable in his eyes.

He may see you as someone who is difficult to please and may try to make every effort to please you.

That doesn’t mean “you win the game,” not if you’re looking for something healthy out of it!

11. “What if she’s dating another guy? She’s probably texting someone else.”

It’s a very common thought that crosses men’s minds when a woman doesn’t respond to her texts or calls.

Texting habits in the early stages of dating can get messy.

Maybe the two of you are wandering around and it’s not a big deal, but since you’re into each other there’s still room for jealousy and thoughts like that in that part too.

Each of us can identify with it at some point. Men probably do that too.

12. He thinks you’ll answer eventually, so he’ll stop stressing about it

Men are easygoing and relaxed, and again, they don’t tend to overthink things as much as we women do.

Whether he’s gone through all the possible reasons and given it a lot of thought, or whether he hasn’t given it much thought, there’ll come a point where he’ll deal with it differently…

“She’ll answer eventually.”

He leaves it there until the next time you respond. You finally answer and his mind finally rests.

His mindset when you don’t text him back depends on a few scenarios

Not responding to his texts is not okay. It can get very messy in his head, and it’s fair to say that it’s toxic behavior at some point.

You should not ignore his text unless it concerns your safety and well-being. Consciously ignoring his texts can have a negative impact on his self-perception and self-esteem.

There are certain situations and circumstances that will dictate his train of thought if you don’t text him back:

– If you left it on Read. If you keep him on read with a message, he’s more likely to think more negative things and use it as a way to ignore him.

– The last conversation you had. This also determines whether his train of thought is on the negative or neutral track.

If your conversation was calm and positive, he’s probably confused or didn’t give it much thought.

On the other hand, if you were having a chaotic conversation, his mind is likely to be troubled and weigh more on the negative side of the story.

– If you have behaved differently recently. This may cause him to question your connection. It’s just a text, but it can greatly affect his mood and thoughts.

– If he’s been behaving differently lately. Not responding to his texts can make him think about his behavior if he’s been acting differently recently.

It will give him some space if you will.

– When you both know what kind of “phone people” you are. If you both know what kind of “phone people” you are, then he’ll probably have a clearer idea of ​​what you’re up to.

If he knows you’re not glued to your phone 24/7, he’ll understand if you don’t answer right away.

– If he knows your routine. If he knows you’re busy, or if he knows you’ve been up to something lately that requires a lot of work and focus, he’ll understand and find more peace with the pace of his thoughts.

– The stage of dating you are in. In the very early stages of dating, texting can either be constant and consistent, or the opposite.

However, if you are in a deeper connection than the superficial, missing a text message can create space for distrust and other negative thoughts.

Make sure you know each other’s expectations and needs, especially in your “texting game”.

Sum up everything!

Here’s what guys really think when you don’t text back:

He thinks you’re busy; He thinks he messed it up; He thinks you’re deliberately ignoring him as part of a game; He considers whether it’s a good idea to send another text or not; He will worry if he thinks something has happened to you; He will find you fascinating and mysterious; “What the hell is going on?” “Did she even see my message?! What if she’s not interested in me anymore?” “Why is she taking so long to reply?” – He could even google it: “Should I up my game? Is my texting getting boring?” “What if she’s dating another guy? She’s probably texting someone else.” He thinks you’ll reply eventually, so he’ll stop worrying about it;

Does “don’t text him and he texts you” work?

He notices you’re not texting him. However, how likely he is to text you when you don’t text him depends heavily on many factors.

The “don’t text him and he’ll text you” method is likely to work if:

He takes you for granted.

You were the one who texted him first every time you text.

He likes to play mind games.

You’re the one doing the text conversations most of the time.

This is not worth trying if your connection is genuine and mutually valued.

If he doesn’t like mind games and if he’s looking for a real connection and isn’t texting him just to get his attention or get him to text, you’ll only drive him away from you.

It will drive him off if you don’t text him or reply to something he’s sent, if he puts as much effort into the connection and text conversations as you do.

On the other hand, if he’s taken you for granted and been very passive in your text conversations, this would be a way to open his eyes a little.

However, note that this is not the healthiest solution to this problem. If open communication can’t solve it, then maybe you’re with the wrong person.

Once you start desperately trying to get his attention and affection, there may come a moment when you reconsider dating that person.

If you’re at least a little close, he’ll know you’ll eventually respond.

If you are playing games and are ignoring him on purpose then I would suggest you stop doing it, it is far from healthy.

Either he’ll get tired of it or he’ll learn to play along; None of this is healthy, so stay tuned!

FAQ – Sending and receiving texts to/with him

1. Is it better to ignore his text or text him back?

It is absolutely better to text him back whenever you can. At least, that’s if you want something real and if you’re not into games played by him or you.

2. Will he text again if I ignore his message?

If you don’t do this too often, he’ll probably text you again.

However, I am assuming that you follow a technique of not texting him and he will text you. It’s not the healthiest way to start.

Try to be authentic and answer when you want to answer when you want the connection to be real.

3. I didn’t text him back. Does that make him want me even more?

Not texting a guy back doesn’t make him want you more. He will of course notice, if you end the contact he will.

At first, it might make him curious if you don’t text him back. But if you do it too often, it can get tiring for him to wait for answers.

Don’t forget that we need a contact to make and strengthen connections.

4. He texted me after ignoring me. What should I do?

Ask yourself if you really want to answer and how he made you feel while ignoring you.

If he made you feel bad about not texting back and you don’t want to, don’t text him. However, if he doesn’t do it very often, then answer him; If its ground is solid, then you don’t need to worry.

5. I’ve been ignoring him for a long time, but he keeps texting me. What should I do in this situation?

Tell him directly that you don’t want to keep in touch with him. This saves his and your time.

A simple, “Hey [name], I’m sorry I don’t feel the connection I’m looking for with you. Good luck to you!” Gets worried.

If that doesn’t work, you can block him if that makes you less bothered.

It will be normal for the man when a couple breaks up for the first time. He goes out with his friends, meets lots of girls and posts pictures of him enjoying the single life on his social media accounts.

His behavior will make you feel even worse, but don’t let it get to you; his meltdown is on the way.

But if you’ve been together for a few years, he’ll sense your absence as soon as you’re gone.

Their conversations can oscillate between memories of your childhood dreams, your future goals, and a funny story in the mail.

Your conversations flow effortlessly and you can talk for hours. An emotional bond makes people feel loved, wanted, and valued. He felt comfortable enough to confide in you about his feelings and he would not discuss these things with anyone else.

But now that you’re gone, he doesn’t have anyone to talk to, so whenever he’s feeling down emotionally, he’ll start missing you.

Most men don’t drown their sorrows in chocolate and ice cream while watching romantic movies. Instead, they put all their energy into another woman to forget the lovesickness.

But now that he’s in a new relationship, he realizes she can’t compare to you. She could be extremely attractive and that was what initially caught his attention. But as he gets to know her, he realizes there are things about her character that he just doesn’t feel.

At that point, he realizes how good he got on with you and starts to miss you.

#1 Don’t call or text him

Since women are so emotional, he will expect you to call or text him after the breakup. Your ex-boyfriend is probably used to women begging him.

But you won’t be that girl; What will make him miss you is when he doesn’t know how you feel.

By calling or texting you are giving away the game, so try as best as you can not to contact him at all.

#2 Don’t show your vulnerability

After a breakup, the first thing people do is take to social media and tell the world how hurt they are.

At this stage, people feel so vulnerable that they start posting heartbroken quotes or changing their status to reflect their depressing state of mind.

Basically, they make it really obvious that they’re sad. Don’t be that person! If you want your ex to miss you, this is not the way to go. He won’t pity you.

Instead, it will boost his ego and make him think he’s the best thing since sliced ​​bread. By posting things like this you let him know that without him in your life you are sad, lonely and unhappy.

#3 Delete his pictures from social media

Delete all his pictures from your social media accounts a few days after the breakup and change your status to single.

This is a strategic move because even if he’s not spying on you, your mutual friends will let him know that your pictures are no longer on their site.

This will infuriate him to no end because deleting his pictures is the same as burning them or throwing them in the trash.

It is an indication that you have made the decision to cut him out of your life and move on.

He’ll want to know why you moved on so quickly; it can even make him question himself. His thought process will be, “Why did she move on so quickly? Why isn’t she upset? Wasn’t I good enough for her?”

#4 Don’t confide in your mutual friends

Mutual friends are carriers of information; Whatever you tell them, they will immediately go back and let him know how devastated you are about the breakup.

Instead, use your mutual friends to your advantage. Since you know they’ll get back to him, make sure everything you talk about indicates that you’re living your best life.

If they ask you how you feel about the breakup, tell them things didn’t work out and you’re okay. Tell them about all the great things you’re up to now that you have free time.

#5 Start working on your goals

What have you always wanted to do, but haven’t managed to do it yet? One of the most effective ways to make him miss you is to work on yourself.

And I don’t just mean your physical appearance; get a whole new life. Not only will it scare him to think that if you become the best version of yourself, you won’t come back to him.

It will also distract you from the breakup because you will be so focused on what you are doing that you will not have time to miss him. So here are a few things to work on:

Start working on your passions

Start exercising

Exercising will not only help you lose weight and look good, but it will also make you feel good.

Going to the gym isn’t the only way to work out; There are many fun ways to get your body moving, including dancing, swimming, Pilates, yoga, and biking.

Reconnect with yourself

Women tend to give everything in a relationship and lose themselves in it. They forget who they are because they stop caring about what makes them who they are. You can reconnect with yourself through journaling, therapy, and reading self-help books. You may even discover parts of yourself that you didn’t know existed, or realize that you have some issues that you need to take care of.

Transform your look

Nothing calls for progress better than a new look. They’re basically saying, “Out with the old and in with the new.” Get your hair done, change your wardrobe and wear a different style of makeup.

When you look good you feel good, the new version of you will feel like you can take on the world.

#6 Leave some of you in his apartment

Whether it’s a piece of clothing, a necklace or a bottle of perfume, leave something of yours in his home. Regardless of what it is, it serves as a tangible reminder of you.

Every time he sees your articles, he will think of the good old days. Whatever you leave behind will evoke strong emotions in him that he cannot control.

He may physically cut you out of his life, but those memories will never go away.

#7 Keep moving

If you both have agreed not to have any contact for a few weeks or months, then that is exactly what you need to do.

So if you see him out shopping, don’t stop for an informal chat. Keep moving! Literally pretend you haven’t seen him. Since you still have feelings for him, this will hurt because you want to know how he is doing.

But for him to miss you, you have to be strong enough to pull the deal through. No contact means no contact!

Meeting new people can help you fill that space. If you’re the type that likes to go out and socialize, then get out there and do it.

Final Thoughts

let me ask you a question What are your intentions for your ex boyfriend?

There’s a reason you want to know how long it will be before he starts missing you, and before you move on, it’s important that you’re honest with yourself.

Why did you break up in the first place? Was the relationship healthy? Do you think you could solve your problems if you got back together?

I want you to think about it seriously because I don’t want you to waste your time and energy on a guy who’s really not good for you.

If you are a match made in heaven, then excellent; I wish you the best. But if not, you might want to consider moving on.

If you’ve gone through a difficult no-contact period in your relationship, you know how stressful it can be for both parties. Sometimes your husband’s response may be that you’re concerned about his true feelings for you. In any case, there are so many signs that he misses you during the no contact.

In this article, we will take a closer look at all of these signs. Plus, we take a look at what he’s thinking while out of touch and show you how to know if someone out of touch is missing you.

“Always to absent lovers flows the mightier tide of love.” These were the words of Sextus Propertius; a Roman poet who produced these words. In a more contemporary setting (1832 precisely), a play by Miss Stickland contained a version of this statement that has been accepted in the contemporary world.

“Absence makes the heart beat faster,” we say.

The no contact rule was founded on this adage. The belief that when lovers stay apart their love grows stronger is the foundation on which the no contact rule was laid.

As the name suggests, the no contact rule is just what it is. It is a period when you are not allowed to have any contact with your ex. The goal of this exercise is to help you both sort through your emotions so you can define the best course of action for your relationship.

While it may be a bit difficult to pinpoint exactly what happens when you are contactless, many women would like to know what goes through a man’s mind when being contactless.

Just in case you were wondering, here’s a quick look inside the male psyche during no contact.

While this might not be music to your ears, we can’t rule out the fact that some guys may feel relieved during the no-contact phase. If this is the case, it could be because they never liked their partner to begin with, or it could be a case of love gone sour.

2. Time to explore

Some people approach non-contact time as time to explore. They may take the time to meet new people, visit new places, develop new hobbies, or even try to explore parts of themselves that they may have overlooked for a long time.

Many men will use the no contact time to reconnect with themselves and enjoy themselves.

3. I can’t wait to get back together

If he contacted you without contact, this could be the case with him. More often than not, a guy will refrain from contacting you if he doesn’t want to continue the relationship.

If this is the case, then you need to know how to tell when he misses you.

How can you tell if a guy secretly misses you? There are so many signs your ex misses you when you are not in touch. In the next section of this article, we’ll go over 15 of these signs so you know exactly where you stand.

Look out for these 15 signs to know he’s missing you during the no contact period.

1. Everyone around him knows he is depressed

That might not mean much to you, except when you’re looking at a guy who used to be outspoken and boisterous. If he suddenly feels like he’s depressed and having mood swings for no reason, that could be one of the signs he’s missing you while you’re not in touch.

2. He now spends a lot of time online

To pay less attention to the pain he may be feeling, he can turn to the screen. One of the signs he misses you when you’re away (or during a no-contact period) is that he turns to the screen and tends to get lost in the online world.

You’ll notice this more quickly if he used to spend a lot less time online.

3. He goes without dates for a long time

This may sound cliché, but if he’s refrained from dating, especially if he’s been doing it for a long time, he might miss you.

4. He tries “too hard” to flirt with other girls

This is how you will know if your ex misses you when you are not in touch. If it seems like he’s putting too much energy into appearing like he’s dating other girls and getting hit on every time, it could be that he’s just doing it to make you jealous.

Deep down he misses you and wishes you could be together again. So does it look like he moved on a little too quickly? This could be one of the signs that he misses you when there is no contact.

5. He’s making some serious lifestyle changes

And we’re not talking about little things you might not notice, like bathing twice a day. We look at major lifestyle changes. This might include taking up new and sudden interests, going to the gym more often, or perfecting a newfound hobby.

The reason behind these actions is to keep him busy and give him something else to do while he sorts his thoughts.

6. He pays special attention to his appearance

This is a double-sided coin. He might care more about his looks because he just met a new girl and wants to impress her. Or it could be because he wants to weave his way back into your good books fast enough.

If he suddenly starts making changes in his appearance (like growing a beard, letting go of the beard he’s had for years, or going to the gym to gain mass faster), that might be the answer to your question.

7. You feel the strong energy around you

It’s more mental than physical. An easy way to know he’s missing you during the no-contact phase is to feel it inside. It could be a sudden thought of her, a longing to reconnect, or just wishful thinking about how things could have gone differently.

If these thoughts come on their own, it could be one of the signs that he’s missing you while you’re not in touch.

8. You’ve often crossed paths

It’s not contact season, but for some reason you can’t stop hooking up.

You might stumble across him at the mall on your way back from work, or meet him at a mutual friend’s hangout. However, it seems like he’s been making an effort to meet you lately, that could be because he actually misses you.

9. You stopped seeing him

That’s kind of the flip side of the last point. One of the signs he misses you when you’re not socializing is that he makes it a point to stay away from the places he used to frequent, especially if you frequent those places too.

Does it feel like he’s dreading going to his favorite bar? Does he stay away from his friends’ parties and hangouts? Can you feel like he never wants to see you again? While this may be because it’s not contact season, it could also be because he genuinely misses you.

10. He’s suddenly interested in the online version of you

“Does he miss me when there is no contact?”

One way to find an answer to this question is to monitor their online activities. One of the signs a guy is missing you is that he may turn his attention to the online version of you.

At that point, he started liking all of your posts, commenting on the places where I’m sure you’d see them, and even checking out everything you post on your Instagram stories.

11. Your friends will tell you they’ve gotten super nice to them

While this can mean anything (including an honest coincidence), it could also be one of the signs a guy is missing you while you’re out of touch. Since humans tend to be nice to those they want to extract information from, he may tend to be nicer to your friends.

However, many times this could be because he wants to get close to you again or to get relevant information from your friend; information about you.

12. Mood swings

The easiest way to know that a guy misses you when you’re not in touch is to observe how he reacts to everyday situations. A guy who was otherwise calm and collected will suddenly experience crazy mood swings. One second he would be happy and the next second he would be grumpy.

13. Your friends might “suddenly” start saying a few kind words

Another way to know for sure when someone misses you is to keep a close eye on your close friends, especially if they know them. If a guy misses you during lockdown, he might find a way to break into your closest friends’ good books and get them to talk to you about him.

All of a sudden, your friends might start asking you about your relationship and maybe even ask you to think about getting back together.

Conversely, he may just become extra nice to your friends, causing them to start leaning towards him. If that happens, they wouldn’t be averse to the idea of ​​putting in a few kind words for him.

14. He is lavish with compliments

Mostly he did this online. Since he’s not allowed to call or text you, you might notice that he gets a lot of compliments online. When you post your selfies, he’s one of those people who shower you with praise.

When you share news of your life, he would be there with emotional support and kind words. Does that sound like your ex?

15. He breaks the lockdown

There comes a time when he can no longer hold it back. He might end up picking up the phone and calling or texting you first. When this happens, you can be sure that he was the longest hesitating about breaking the no-contact rule.

Have you ever asked yourself this question: “Does no contact work for men?”

Well, the simple answer is, “Yes, it does.” When done right, it works just as well on men as it does on women.

Although this article has covered the signs of no contact working in detail, there are other signs that no contact is working as well. Well if no contact doesn’t work,

He vanishes into thin air

He doesn’t try to reach you at all and just gets on with his life. Another sign that no contact isn’t going to work is if they’re the one who proposes it as a solution to any challenge you may be experiencing in the relationship.

His life went on as usual

They haven’t noticed a big change in lifestyle, he hasn’t stopped visiting his regular places and he still finds joy in the things that once made him happy. If that sums him up, it could be a sign that no contact isn’t working.

Bring away

When not affected by contact, it displays the above signs

If no contact is working on a man, he would display all 15 signs covered in this article (or most of them, depending on his personality type). Just keep an eye out for how he’s interacting with you and others during lockdown as it can give you clues as to whether it’s working or not.

However, many people are stressed and ask this question, “will my ex miss me during the no-contact” just before they enter the no-contact phase.

It’s up to you to decide if you want to get back into this relationship or get out forever.

Today we are going to talk about how long it usually takes for an ex to miss you after a breakup.

Based on our research, you can expect the average ex to miss you anywhere from 2.5 to 5.2 months after a breakup, assuming you’re giving signals that you’re “walking away from them.”

We’ll show you how we came to this conclusion, drawing on our knowledge,

attachment styles

Real life success stories

customer interviews

The idea is to use all this knowledge to find a specific time frame that is based on research and psychology and is realistic.

Too often I see people claiming to expect an ex to miss you in about 30 days, when the reality is that’s not at all what we’ve seen in the field.

I want to put an end to all speculation and come up with something from research today.

First things first, when it comes to an ex missing you, what type of behavior are we looking at?

What are your chances of getting your ex boyfriend back? take the quiz

Creating the missing frame

So when we talk about an ex missing you, what kind of behavior are we really looking at? Well, that’s not rocket science, so here’s what I think counts for an ex missing you:

An ex who admits he misses you

Asks you out

Bring up positive emotional memories from your past

Your reaction time to your texts is fast

The conversations you have are much longer than normal

They talk about “dreaming of you”.

They start texting you at odd times (usually when they are alone).

Social media stalking

But here’s the thing about exes missing you. At first, it will probably feel like the behaviors listed above will never happen. After all, most ex-boyfriends usually do whatever they can to avoid you after a breakup.

The Wheel of Death

In fact, I encourage you to look at the emotional experience of the typical “ex” that we study by paying attention to the relationship death wheel,

They start by wanting someone to love them. Then they find you and at first things are great. But something about your behavior triggers them (we’ll talk about what that is in a moment). you Then they actually decide to leave the relationship Then of course they celebrate and are glad they left the relationship But there is a loneliness in the silence and they get depressed They end up sitting there wondering why this always happens to them. Why can’t I ever find it?

Which in turn causes them to start the cycle over and over again. They are trapped in a prison of their own construction and the crazy thing is that most of the time they are not even aware of it.

Well, I’m going to use this cycle a lot in this article to explain when to expect your ex to miss you, and I’ll back it up with real research.

So let’s start with a personal favorite topic of mine.

The nostalgic factor of avoidant attachment

Lately, I’ve spent most of my research time trying to better understand avoidant attachments, but without going too far into the weeds, everything I’m going to talk about in this section of the article can be found in this video.

Especially the part about the “nostalgia factor”.

But first things first, most ex-boyfriends we’ve researched tend to be avoidant,

This means that they fiercely defend their independence. In fact, I think it can be argued that they are usually happy in relationships until the person they are with threatens that independence.

For those who count, that would be this part of the death wheel

What are your chances of getting your ex boyfriend back? take the quiz

At the first sign of trouble, they actually use it to sabotage the relationship themselves. In fact, to add aloud freely,

At this point, although avoiders ultimately want a connection and secure long-term commitment like the rest of us, they will begin to avoid self-sabotage and push away to protect themselves. Having learned not to expect reliable happiness around significant others—that love comes with a degree of neglect—they always expect something to go wrong, and their subconscious moves to recreate that outcome.

At the heart of every avoidance lies an interesting paradox.

They want love more than anything, but they don’t let anyone close enough to give them that love.

But something fascinating happens here on the wheel of death after they finally split from their partner.

A kind of nostalgia sets in. At this point, we’ve found that exes are the most likely victims of missing you.

What’s going on from a psychological point of view?

Well, many things.

That’s where the self-loathing aspect comes in, obviously. Feeling sorry for yourself

But it all culminates in that nostalgia phenomenon where they can finally feel “safe” about missing you. Pull from Free To Attach once again,

Without the danger of reciprocity (that is, especially after an ex has moved away), liberation from the fear of being devoured finally gives free rein to the latent romance of an avoider. An ex who is genuinely unavailable can even evoke perverse pleasure — they’re free to miss them utterly and think of them wistfully, while also reaffirming their confidence that people won’t stay with them (sometimes ask in relationships they imagine their partner with another to trigger this)

Because of this, it can often seem like it takes forever for an avoidant ex to miss you, and nicely brings me to the next research I want to do for you.

Learn from our success stories

One of the pages that is often overlooked on our site is our Success Stories page,

I’m proud of this because I feel like Ex Boyfriend Recovery is one of the few outfits that actually asks our customers at length about how they managed to bring an ex back.

But what’s particularly relevant about this page is that we’ve condensed all of our information into bite-sized snippets so you can see what real success looks like and how long it typically takes.

What you’ll probably notice immediately on this page is the time frame for success.

On average, it takes our clients around 5.2 months to see success in getting their ex back after starting working with us.

The most important part to remember is “after they start working with us”.

So, all those get your ex back programs that claim they can get your ex back in 30 days… well, let’s just put it that way. Based on everything we’ve actually experienced, they’re complete bullsh*t.

And science backs us up.

An avoidant, the average attachment style of our clients, won’t even consider missing you until they feel like you’ve walked away from them completely. Only then will they feel safe enough to miss you.

And do you know what it takes to make them “feel safe”?

What are your chances of getting your ex boyfriend back? take the quiz

Time!

Of course, if you want to get really technical here, ex-boyfriends probably start missing you a little earlier than 5.2 months. In fact, we often notice the first signs that they’re missing you during the texting phase of the value ladder,

So, it’s usually around 2.5 months when the first signs of an ex’s missing fall through, but it’s a delicate balancing act to walk.

Any kind of overly anxious behavior can actually trigger avoidance again, and then it’s like the clock starts all over again.

So yes, you need to have emotional control before you even consider texting an ex. Because of this, we make it a point to focus our no-contact times on growing out of an ex.

We know that if you can get emotionally authentic to a point where you don’t get an ex back, you’re actually more likely to make them miss you.

Why?

Well, again, it goes back to that nostalgia factor. It signals to the avoider that you’ve “moved on,” and that’s where nostalgia sets in and they can start missing you.

One last point, that outgrowth mindset. It’s also not something to fake. You have to work really hard to grow out of your ex.

So what are you waiting for?

What should your first text be after the no contact rule? Is it “sorry”? “I miss you”? “Please come back, I can’t live without you”? You haven’t spoken to her in a while, so you need the perfect message to get the message across that this whole no-contact scenario is over.

If you’re reading this, you probably already know how effective the No Contact Rule is. If you decide to break up with a woman (or at least take some time off with her), this almighty rule gives you your best chance of rekindling the relationship after 3-4 weeks.

Just give her up to a month to feel your absence — that’s the secret sauce. Once she misses you enough, she’ll be happy to get back together with you.

However, the no-contact rule can be difficult to implement. And one of the biggest challenges is deciding what to text her after the three or four weeks of no contact have passed.

Of course, you want the first text you send her to give you the best chance of her missing you and wanting you again. It all depends on that first text: you either get it back and your relationship will be stronger than ever…or you don’t and it’s gone forever.

So what should your first text be about? Today’s article will answer that.

Here’s the biggest challenge: There’s no single text that works well across the board post-lockdown.

Instead, the best text message you can send her depends on two things: (1) who introduced the no-contact rule, and (2) whether you were in a committed relationship before it happened.

…then it means that you may have been unhappy with your relationship with your girlfriend, or you wanted to meet other women, or both. And that’s what you called the breakup or a break so you could both see other people.

Meanwhile, your girlfriend may have been against your decision but ended up letting you have your way (best scenario)…or she was neutral.

Either way, she will likely break the no contact rule first and contact you before the 3-4 weeks have passed. If that happens, you’re spot on – she did the work for you. Now all you have to do is revive the relationship, and with her on the same page it will be easy.

Well, here’s the thing: what if she doesn’t text you after 3-4 weeks? What if you decided to get her back after your lockdown expired, but she never texted you first?

Now the burden is on you. Here’s how to maximize the chances that she’ll receive your first text message positively: Make sure she’s not in a toxic mood.

If she didn’t like the idea of ​​breaking up or cooling down, she can hold a grudge for weeks or months. You’ll know she’s angry when her social media is filled with hateful (or at least passive-aggressive) posts about your past relationship.

The best time to contact her is when she is no longer toxic, e.g. B. when their social media habits seem normal (or they’ve gotten back to normal). Then you text her something like:

“Hey, I was walking by our favorite mall this morning and it reminded me of you. How are you? I was wondering if you’d have time to chat soon.”

The formula is simple: find an excuse to contact them (e.g. seeing something at the mall, meeting a mutual friend, etc.) and address them in a friendly tone – like you’re addressing an old friend, that you like very much from.

Remember, don’t try to ask her out in your first text under the no contact rule. You just want her to know that you’re thinking about her and that you want to talk again. Even if she’s moved on (or so it seems), you should break the ice a bit before attempting to meet her.

Well, this is tricky. If she initiated the breakup, try to remember the mood she was in when she broke things off. Was she angry (“Good liberation!”) or happy (“Ahh…Finally!”)?

Spoiler alert: If she was happy with the breakup, then you have an almost zero chance of getting her back. Maybe she was bored or trapped in your relationship. And now she’s free to do whatever she wants. Or maybe she’s been upgraded, and chances are she won’t be wanting a downgrade any time soon.

That said, there’s always a chance you can start over with your girlfriend even after she broke up with you. The no contact rule is key – waiting the 3-4 weeks before texting her is crucial. Without them, you have no chance of getting them back.

Likewise, you text her using the same formula: wait until she is no longer angry or toxic, and then reach out to her like you would an old friend trying to catch up.

“Hey, I saw something funny today that reminds me of you, so I thought I should check on you. How are you?”

No matter what you do, don’t mention the relationship, dating, or getting together. You want to give her the impression that you’re fine, that you’re over the breakup, and that you want to be friends now.

Well, here’s a special case: What if you weren’t in a relationship with her? What if you just saw each other and then just stopped texting?

If she hasn’t texted you in 3-4 weeks, here are two options. The first is that she didn’t take your relationship too seriously and when you disappeared she went on with her life as if nothing of great value had been lost.

The second possibility is that she’s uncomfortable reaching out first. She may have noticed that you’re not writing anymore, so she started thinking things like:

“Maybe I wasn’t good enough for him. I would hate to confirm that by contacting him.”

“Maybe he was a player. I’ve been ghosted like this before.”

“I shouldn’t have contacted him first. I would look desperate.”

Either way, you can’t go wrong by being a gentleman and contacting them first. Again, the formula is the same – be friendly and have a good reason to contact them.

“Hey! It’s been a while. Are you still in town?”

If she answers, good for you. If she doesn’t, then you’ve probably lost her. Book it with experience. Be reminded that attraction wears off quickly – if you like her, don’t let more than a few days go by without contact. So if she’s stopped texting you, you need to know how to get her interest back.

Well, in all of the situations we’ve discussed so far, you might have noticed a few commonalities that run through the solutions. And you’re right: after lockdown, there are tried-and-true ways to maximize your chances of getting a friendly response from her:

#1: Stay positive and be a friend

I can’t stress this enough. Don’t mention the relationship you previously had with her. You want to come in with a clean sheet, like you’re starting over.

You want to start a new relationship with her — one that’s fun, easy-going, and stress-free. Start by being friends again first. That way, you stand a pretty good chance of getting her to consider you as her potential next lover.

#2: Be ready to meet up

Secondly, there is no point in texting after a period of no contact and then not meeting up with her. Trust me when I say you can’t get her back through text, just like you can’t make a woman fall in love with you through words on a screen.

You need to arrange a face-to-face meeting with her. This can be a coffee, a drink, lunch or a visit to the new art installation – everything that invites you to chat and do things together.

Pro tip: don’t take her to see a horror movie as you’ll just sit around and not talk to each other. Movies also add unwanted romantic tension that can sabotage your chances of getting to the next step:

#3: Wait for her to bring it up

After all, it’s best if she decides to start a relationship (or get back together) herself. If you make the mistake of bringing it up first, she’ll think, “Huh. I guess he missed me more than I did him.” And suddenly your chances of dating her plummet.

So until she addresses it, meet her up as friends every 1-2 weeks. Have fun, share jokes, tell stories and do fun things. Make it as tempting as possible for her to fall in love with you (again).

Now, to wrap up this article, let’s tackle the worst-case scenario:

…Or what if she prefers to just be friends? Either way, she’s no longer interested in you. At most, you can send a second (and possibly last) SMS saying:

“I guess you’re busy. Don’t worry, I hope you’re okay. Watch out.”

And if she doesn’t reply, don’t send anything further. Pushing the problem will only turn them off.

If she never answers, don’t worry about it too much. As with all failed attempts in life, load it on experience. If you cannot save or revive your relationship, be content with the effort you put into the no contact phase, knowing that you used the best technique in the book and stuck with it to the end.

If a guy doesn’t text you for a week, something’s up. Serious. Especially if you communicate with each other on a daily basis.

Whether it’s normal not to hear from a man for a week, 2 weeks, or just a few days depends a lot on the way you communicate, but also the consistency of your communication.

There can be many reasons why a guy won’t text you for a few days or weeks.

Let’s say your friend hasn’t texted you for 2 days, then something big might have happened, and if he doesn’t text you on the 3rd day, then he either died, his phone is broken, he was abducted by aliens , or something prevents/stops him from writing to you. In any case, a general “busy” is not an acceptable answer to that.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of “if he doesn’t talk to you in a week” or more or less, there’s one more thing we need to do first:

Let’s reflect together!

Were you distant from him before he stopped texting you?

Distant as in, cold and not very responsive when it came to enthusiasm or just questions in general. That might just give him the impression that you’re not interested.

Is there just one of you who always initiates SMS?

If the initiation of SMS or conversations was the same, then something is wrong with him. However, if he’s always been the one who initiated messages and didn’t get messages from you, then he might be getting the “not interested” impression from you.

Was he distant with you before he did this, or was he giving you a lot of attention?

Think about his behavior or the way he wrote before he stopped texting you. Whether he was warm and friendly or whether he was getting more distant every day.

Where do you think the inconvenience comes from?

Take a moment to think about it. How much would you lose if you “lost” someone you don’t know much about? Depends on how long you’ve known each other and how deep the connection between you is, but in general the uncomfortable feelings usually come from a newly bruised ego.

Has this happened before? (If so, how often? If this is a repetitive behavior that constantly puts you in an unhealthy mood, then I would suggest that you think about it a little longer and make a decision on whether or not you want to deal with it. It is definitely one of the signs of an unhealthy relationship either beginning or already established

Top reasons why you haven’t heard from him in 1 week, 2 weeks or more

If it’s been a few hours, he could be alive, breathing, you know, doing things that need nurturing in his life and giving you attention all the time.

On the other hand, if it was 1 week (or something like 5 or 6 days), 2 weeks or more, then he might have reasons other than just breathing, existing and living. Here they follow:

1. He plays games with you or keeps you as an option

Games usually come from a place of insecurity to satisfy one’s ego. In this case, he wants you to go after him or just fancy him so much that you are helpless.

Let me guess, he gave you a lot of attention and made you feel damn good (even if you acted crazy at times, with things not everyone around you would tolerate) before he made that very special move.

Consider this his way of getting your attention and/or driving you nuts.

Otherwise, he might keep you as an option because he just knows that you’re very into him and that you’re not going anywhere. So it took him days to reply before.

Well, hold on. I don’t want you to go crazy and say, “That’s it!”. He’ll give you a few pointers if this is the case, like doing this very often. He disappears and then comes back, or he just stops writing and then starts again, sometimes as if nothing had happened.

Such behavior could mean that he is either playing games with you to get you hooked or that you are one of his options. In any case, this is not a healthy place to start or build on a relationship.

2. He is not interested

It could be that he is no longer interested. These things happen, especially in the beginning when two people get to know each other. They’re not exclusive to each other, they didn’t have that “exclusivity” talk, and that’s fine.

This is a perfectly normal scene in today’s dating world. There’s not much we can do about it, but move on and adapt or find the best options that fit our way of dating.

When not interested, he is comfortable with not replying or returning even a simple message for days. It’s one of the signs that he’s not interested by text.

Important! The fact that he is not interested in you has nothing to do with your worth or traits as a personality and character. It has to do with his taste and perspective on things, situations and people. Don’t let this spoil your peace.

What you can do about it is keep going. Do what you normally would. It’s not the end of the world, nor is it the end of your dating life.

3. He takes his time and tests you whether you’re interested or not

This one could stand, especially if he was always the one who initiated texts, contacts, calls, or even dates.

Well, the social norms and standards speak for such a step (a man always initiates), but gradually those standards are shaken a little by the reality of true human bonding and connection.

This means that in addition to chemistry and butterflies, connecting and connecting require reciprocity.

So if he’s done all the work, he might be able to step back a little and see if you notice anything, or if you’d ever take a step to make things work, or just care about how his day is going . I.e. This time he is waiting for you to text him first.

He cared every day, he asked you every day (I suppose). I know you’re worried What will your move be?

This is the part of the article where you find out what to do if he doesn’t post back. More specifically, here I’m answering questions similar to “What to do if he hasn’t texted you in a week?” or “What to do if he hasn’t spoken to me in 6 days?” , etc.

Whether you haven’t heard from him in days, a week, or two, there are different versions of your possible reaction to his silence:

1. When you didn’t seem interested in him

If this behavior of his is because you seem disinterested or arrogant towards him, then the strongest response is to approach him calmly and kindly and simply ask how he’s been doing lately.

2. If he plays games / keeps you as an option

On the other hand, if he’s been caring despite your behavior and you’ve noticed something about his “kindness” being off (i.e. he’s playing games), then your forceful response isn’t a response at all.

If he comes back after a while (which I’m sure he will in this case), let him know that this isn’t the type of communication that suits you and you want to end it here. You are honest, direct with him, and most importantly, respectful of yourself.

3. When you notice he’s not coming back

If he doesn’t come back, your power is to move on and let go of that connection. There’s no point in trying to win him over or looking for tips and tricks to write a text that will make him reply desperately. no

This way of “solving” things is not healthy and eventually wears off. You cannot rely on mind games to build real and healthy relationships.

4. Finally, to make it easier for you, answer 2 questions for yourself

Do you really want him to text you? Have you ever thought about why you want him to text you?

This is the part where you realize if you are communicating (or need to communicate) from a peaceful place or a troubled, ego-taken place. It’s understandable and human, whatever conclusion you come to. In fact, whatever “the problem” was/is, it’s a nice sign that you’ve started to improve (or improve more).

Let’s flip that around a bit — it’s not about him, it’s about you

Most of the advice out there is, “You’re going to seem desperate to him and you’re not going to be attractive to him anymore,” fuck it!

How about if we didn’t care if we looked attractive or desperate to him? How about we start caring about our peace of mind and move forward with a positive attitude? How about this?

Shift your focus to what helps you become a better self for yourself and others around you. Once you start such a journey, your choices will affect not only you, but also the people who surround you and approach you, your relationship with them.

Once you mind your own business and focus on helping yourself, you won’t notice when a guy you just met is absent because you are fulfilled in every way. You lack judgment of yourself and others, you accept the fact that people come and go and so do you.

Your happiness and self-esteem can’t depend on just one man’s text message. Can not you?

“He hasn’t texted me for 3 days. Should I write to him?”

It doesn’t matter if it’s been 2 days, 3 days or a week since you haven’t heard from him. It’s been a while, and he just doesn’t reach for his reasons. For such cases we have created a flowchart. But this time I’ll be more specific…

If you’re the one who always initiates texts then I honestly wouldn’t recommend texting him, especially if he left you on read on a question or just a text that requires a response.

If he’s always the one who initiates messages and you’re the one who’s cold, then maybe you should consider texting him.

Never starting a conversation, or simply not participating in conversations (which is highly recommended for women to appear more “attractive”) can convey a sense of disinterest, which can make him withdraw a bit.

If you were the reason he was gone, consider sending him a warm and friendly note. It can be as simple as “Hi, I hope everything is alright and your day is going well.”

Let the rest depend on his answer.

FAQ

Why didn’t he open my message?

Because he could be busy, doing activities and just living. If it’s been a while (e.g. days) since he hasn’t opened your message, read the article above and find out what the deal is. Otherwise I would suggest that you stop thinking about it when it comes to hours.

What does it mean when a guy doesn’t text you for a month?

It can mean a whole lot of things. Anything but interested in you. This is especially true if you’ve been caring, kind, and welcoming to him. Move on and let go.

How often does a guy text you when he’s interested? If he texts you every day, it can be taken as a sign of his interest. However, don’t take it as solid truth as it depends on his personality and the level of connection and freedom between you.
