Would you reconnect after ghosting someone?

[Cherokeespiritwolf88]

Its been a month after ghosting he was nice and wanted to take me out to lunch we met via social media I kept putting it off I had a lot going on family drama feel trapped and just stopped talking feel bad about it so I don't know if I should just let it go or just message him and what would I even say cause time has gone and feel like I missed a chance I saw him at an event he sat in front of me but dont think he noticed cause I just got my hair cut and colored I didn't say anything cause felt I did enough damage already Im super shy with anxiety so that didn't help so just wanted some advice on what to do or what would you do?

I hear you, I'm shy and with anxiety as well. One of the major symptom of our problems is to feel like you already missed an oportunity and now it's too late to do anything about it. It's not true. You always, always have a second chance. You didn't do any real damage, you just had too much on your plate. It's not like you broke his heart or anything. So just say hi, text him and of course say hello if you run into him. When you text him have some memes prepared in advance and a topic in mind you would like to talk to him so you don't get anxious in the middle of the conversation and run out of things to say. Everything's ok, it happens. Just take it slow and once you've been talking for a little bit just let it slide that you had been in the middle of family drama (no need to go into detail) and had been very distracted, so he understands without you saying it that it wasn't on purpose you stopped talking to him or that you didn't liked him.

I don’t know if I would reconnect because it’s been a month and it might look kind of bad on you. But also you just explained that you had a lot going on and you have anxiety, so I think if he’s a good guy he would understand and be willing to try if you explained that to him.

I wouldn't. Then again I wouldn't 'ghost' someone whom I shared a 'click' with.
Maybe because, just like typical-guy-thing, I'm pragmatical explain why I'd be temporarily unavailable. Her hypothetical reaction will only help me determine weather or not she's worth investing more time/effort in.

How to reconnect with someone you stopped talking to

We've all been there before. You were close to someone, but for whatever reason, you stopped talking. Maybe you had a falling out, or maybe you just drifted apart. Whatever the reason, you now find yourself wanting to reconnect with that person. But how?

Here are a few tips on how to reconnect with someone you stopped talking to:

1. Reach out and apologize.

If you were the one who caused the rift, the first step is to reach out and apologize. This can be a tough pill to swallow, but it's an important first step. Only you can decide if an apology is warranted, but if it is, don't hesitate to reach out and say you're sorry.

2. Take the initiative.

Don't wait for the other person to make the first move. If you want to reconnect, take the initiative and reach out. Send a text, an email, or even a letter. It's up to you.

3. Be genuine.

When you reach out, be genuine in your intentions. Don't try to fake it or make it seem like you're something you're not. The other person will see right through that.

4. Don't expect too much.

When you reconnect with someone, don't expect things to go back to the way they were. It's important to manage your expectations. Things may be different now, and that's okay.

5. Give it time.

Don't expect things to happen overnight. It may take some time for the other person to warm up to you again. Be patient and give it time.

Reconnecting with someone you stopped talking to can be a daunting task, but it's not impossible. With a little effort and some patience, you can rekindle that old friendship.

What to say to someone to who you stopped talking to?

It's not easy to run into someone you used to be close with and not feel at least a little awkward. Maybe you had a falling out and haven't spoken in months, or maybe you just drifted apart and now you feel like you have nothing to say. But don't worry, we've got you covered.

Here are a few things to say to someone you stopped talking to, whether you want to repair the relationship or just be cordial:

• "Hey, long time no see! How have you been?"
• "It's been a while since we talked, I've been meaning to reach out to you."
• "I was just thinking about you the other day, how are you doing?"
• "I'm sorry we lost touch, I've been meaning to call/text you for a while."
• "I heard you're doing X, that's really cool/impressive!"
• "It's so good to see you, I've missed you."

I have been ghosting someone for months that I really liked (I got rejected). somehow, his response towards me doesn't changed at all (for being passive) and I told him how I felt during no contact with him. how I tried to gave him some space as he wanted, how much I cared about him, etc later his attitude changed back to normal. he stopped giving me cold shoulder.

I wouldn't make the first move to reconnect if someone ghosted me. If they wanted to keep in touch, they would

Good grief no wonder
