Golden Rules of Texting an Ex
- Keep it short — under 25 words.
- Avoid emotional dumps or begging.
- Stay light and casual, not romantic at first.
- Use humor or curiosity to make them want to reply.
Best First Texts After No Contact
Here are a few examples of effective openers:
“Hey, I just tried that restaurant you always mentioned… you were right, it’s amazing.”
“You won’t believe who I ran into today — made me think of you.”
Notice how these are light, specific, and non-needy. They open a door without pressure.
Texts That Spark Curiosity
Curiosity is powerful because it makes your ex want to engage. Examples:
“Guess what happened today? You’ll laugh when you hear this.”
“I just found something you left behind — should I keep it hostage? 😉”
Texts That Trigger Positive Memories
Bringing back good emotions works better than rehashing fights. Examples:
“Remember that road trip we took last summer? Just drove past the same spot.”
“I saw [movie/TV show] again and it reminded me of your terrible jokes 😂.”
What Texts to Avoid
- “I miss you so much, please talk to me.”
- “Why are you ignoring me?”
- Anything angry, bitter, or guilt-tripping.
These messages push your ex away and destroy attraction.
