JustSomeGuyHere Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Anybody ever leave an ex hanging after they sent you breadcrumbs? For example replying with something vague and then not replying to them anymore. I recently did this and after I didn't write back to her, she wrote back some sarcastic reply about a "nice chat." I was actually going to reply but apparently it wasn't soon enough for her. Her response just further made me not want to talk to her. I'm not trying to get her back, and have no idea what she wanted, but just wondering if others have experienced something like this.
Chi townD Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Yeah, this is very common. They're trying to get a rise out of you to respond. Just ignore it.
hoping2heal Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 lol, sounds like it got under her skin that you weren't stroking her ego Too bad, so sad for her!
guest569 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Reverse breadcrumb? I don't get it. But that is pretty funny, she just wanted attention I guess and got huffy when it wasn't quick enough. I have done this myself haha. I have also left an ex waiting about a week whilst I contemplated whether or not to reply.. in the end I was stupid enough to. He wanted me back and then vanished when I said no.

I guess I meant reverse in the sense that they reached out. Then you gave them hope, but then left them hanging.
Chi townD Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Nah, you don't give them hope, they want YOU to have the hope for their backup plan. They've moved on enough that they've dumped you, they don't care enough to have hope for you. The ONLY thing they're hoping for is to get you into the friend zone and keep you waiting on the sidelines.
No Limit Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 More or less, yeah. I hadn't seen my ex-best friend for a year when we randomly ran into each other - or rather, past each other - in the mall. I get home and later got a message from her on Facebook from her which said "I saw you in the mall today, but didn't dare to talk to you :/"; I just replied "Well, I guess we're both just busy". She tried to keep the conversation going too (for example "Ah, ok..", then "What were you doing there?" etc) but I never replied. It didn't do anything bad for me - of course, it's different with former best friends than former partners - but today I think I needn't waste my time even considering to respond. Just ignore, that's the safest thing to do.
