dntl Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Last weekend I was in bed and my phone said I got a text from my ex GF. I looked and found a blank text. Its been a couple months now and last we spoke (like six weeks ago) she was having a hard time with things, but didn't express any goal to get back together. Really the question is, what the hell was she doing? I deleted it, really how should I respond to nothing? But Im stuck all week thinking, what was the point of it?
Seeker12 Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Forget it, its nothing, just an accident, heck iv sent blank texts to people, heck iv sent long texts to the WRONG people which was embarassing, but thats another story, bottom line, its nothing and an accident, if she wanted to be with you, she would say it. 1
Raena Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 The point was.... she sent you a breadcrumb... a really strange one, but that's what it is. One that's just enough to send you into a tizzy all week wondering what that was all about but not enough to respond to her. Or she's just telling you she is thinking of you but has nothing to say? That's just bizarre. Yep.... breadcrumb it is. 1
Keenly Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 I've experienced this with a few different girls. It's literally a "HEY PAY ATTENTION TO ME" The gesture contains exactly as much substance as the text itself. Empty and hollow. Ignore it. 1
jackinthebox1 Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 I did the same thing to a girl I dumped. I wanted to do the least amount of work possible to have her chase me again. She didn't and I ended up begging her into going back out wih me. Not sure it works the same on girls tbh but my advice is to ignore it and give it a few weeks it will probably escalate to her getting more depsparate for attention
Author dntl Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 I dont beleive that people can accidentally text, it seems pretty intentional. We havent talked in quite a while, so there is no way it can be a mistake as I would not have been a recent text or call. Last we spoke she went nuts and I don't want her back anymore. The situation just left me perplexed, especially as there was no follow up.
Seeker12 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Just leave it mate, its breadcrumbs and isnt taking you anywhere, if she means something by it, im sure another text will be headed your way pretty soon.
SoThatHappened Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 It's a breadcrumb. I've NEVER sent a text, let alone a blank one, to an ex. She's trying to get you to respond to see if you're still there... like pulling on a leash. Do NOT respond. Brush this off and keep living your life.

Tabitha87 Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I've done it accidentally, although not to an ex. However, I was inputting the person's name, "Andrew" & my phone selected "Andrea" from my contacts. I had started typing my message but I realized that the names were incorrect so, for whatever reason, instead of just switching the names, I deleted what I had writen. On my phone the "send" button & the "backspace" button are right above one another. When I finally deleted everything, I accidentally hit send instead of backspace.
OK_computer Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Flip a coin! If it's heads: It's breadcrumb If it's tails: It was by accident Dude maybe she's talking to someone else with the same first letter of the name as you. I used to text my ex by accident all the time as my gfs name was esther and my best friends name was evan. It's nothing! Forget it! I also called ex once thinking it was my uncle and just started talking without waiting for a hello, well his name's Eddy...So...Let it go. All those people telling you it's breadcrumbs, doubt it. But if its, it's a pretyy S***y one.
Author dntl Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 Well, here is an update. two missed calls from her at 340 and 345 AM this morning. Prolly just drunk and lonely. Should I text and say "what in sweet hell do you need?" lol. well not that but really I wont reply to a blank text and the chance of me being awake at that time is zero.

JoeFallkon Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 ive had that happen, ex would just text a hello or a hi, she is thinking about you.. dont reply until she actually says something more or has an apology, but then id ignore it too just to fck with her mind like she has been with yours,, i hate those games. Ex has been doin this since may. so get used to it if u plan on goin back, or change your no if you wanna move on. 1
Allumere Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 i have accidentally text and realized right after I did it..i just left it alone since they would know if it was important I would follow-up. I have sent ex a couple text as part of group text because I know 5 guys with his name and I hit the wrong one..didn't realize until the "right" one didn't show-up when he was suppose to at a meeting. And I have had the same happen to me...unless life and death I let it go as it was an obvious oops. 1

Any type of answer, reinforces that you are paying attention, and she will just run with that if she knows you took notice. It's always best to ignore because most people get the message at some point. 1
Author dntl Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 ok, here is the update. Two days after the missed calls she texted me and apologized. She said that she has missed me for a while but was unsure how to approach reaching out to me. After some back and forth discussion I asked if she needed to talk and she said yes... So tomorrow we are meeting up. Honestly, I don't know how I feel about it. The break up was really hard on me (I hid that from here) and shortly after that my dad passed away. After that I became pretty bitter, but started dating and what not again. I don't know if I even miss her anymore or even if I should meet with her. Whats the point?
