I ghosted a guy I wasn’t exclusive with (we were both hanging out and flirting with other people; I liked him, but at the time (it’s been 2 months now) I wasn’t sure about what I wanted with him or if we wanted the same things (he told me he didn’t want a relationship, but he wanted to have me around as fwb) so because I’m not confrontational I just ghosted him out of nowhere and after some texts he finally understood what was happening and we haven’t talked ever since. The thing is, even tho I’m still not sure about what I want with him, I miss him.
Is there a way to start talking to him again after I’ve ghosted him? I know he might not ever want to see me again or can be involved with other girl(s), but I’d like to try and see what happens. But how do I approach him? Is it alright to casually text him like nothing happened?
EmmaSo you because you are “not confrontational” you ghosted him. And yet you understand that he might never want to talk to you again.
You know very well it is not about “non confrontation”. How is vanishing is going to make a person feel BETTER than a simple text that you are not interested anymore?
You wanted to hurt him and enjoyed your power trip. Now you changed your mind and regret it.
Oh well missy. Learn a lesson here, drop your contemptuous style and learn how to communicate with respect. Even if it means saying something uncomfortable.
You can text him and apologize for ghosting. Do not try to make it look like you were busy or find another stupid excuse. Take full responsibility for ghosting (non-confrontations to me is much worse to me than “I don’t know why I did it”) and apologize. But be prepared that he might not change his mind.
KathyIf you don’t want to be fwb’s, I wouldn’t text him. I doubt if what he wants has changed.
AlexHey Emma, thanks for being honest with me instead of sugarcoating, I know ghosting is a coward move and I’ve been ghosted before so I know it hurts, but I thought that if I told him that I was confused and didn’t know what I wanted that could be worse because I didn’t want to get into a fight or anything like that. I was obviously wrong of course and now I regret it.
I think apologizing to him is the right thing to do if I ever want to see him again, even tho he might not want that because people don’t usually want to talk to those who ghosted them. Still, worth trying, maybe. Thanks.
RavenWhy do you want to settle …?
SoooSo you’re open to being his FWB? That’s the only reason you should text him.
HannahI’m not sure it really counts as ghosting if you weren’t in a relationship. I used to have a FWB who was in and out of my life for years. At times when we weren’t seeing each other, we’d just stop talking. When we wanted to start things up again, we’d just start talking again with no problems or drama. It’s easy come, easy go with a FWB.
He’ll most likely be fine if you get back in touch. He doesn’t have the right feelings for a relationship with you, so you ghosting won’t have really hurt him or anything. He may be a bit annoyed but that’s it.
Are you really sure you can handle being FWBs with him?
gi probably won’t open this website again, but i been searching up stuff that lead me 2 this website. i have ghosted my boyfriend recently and it was because my friends were encouraging me 2. they did not like him. and it was also because i kept felling uneasy with him the week before i ghosted him. even when i ghosted him i knew i still loved him so much. so i tried my best 2 ignore him for two weeks. i finally felt like i could talk to him through something so i went on my alt account and saw a message from him. so i talked to him for a bit about why i did what i did. but, like you were saying, if there is a way to talk to him.. i dont think so. atleast for me. everytime i try talking to him he sounds completely uninterested. plus hes with the girl he told me not to worry about now. the best thing to do is learn from your mistakes and try to move on. if u dont think u can do that just be honest with him and after u send ur message either dont check the response or see if it was brutal or caring. but yeah! this was like 4 years ago but either way i felt like venting on here. x3
gfour years ago for u)) this was two weeks ago for me is what i meant
