I’ve been watching the news on and off all day. However, something has made me chuckle tonight and I have decided to put the vote out there and see what you oh wise mumsnetters think…

I got ghosted a few months ago after a string of successful dates (I thought!) and daily texts/ conversations. No reasoning, I reached out several times post ghosting and was left on read.

Randomly, out of the blue tonight I’ve noticed a missed What’s app call from him, and a deleted what’s app message….

I didn’t see these straight away as I have my phone on do not disturb past 10pm (yet I’m still awake!) Confused

So let’s put this to the vote…I’m sat here genuinely happy and smiling, I’ve moved on but…

AIBU: Ignore…just like he did you.
AINBU: Text him and say you’ve had a missed call but you don’t recognise the number..

Please note that I’m not trying to belittle what’s going on in the world right now, but it just gave me some much needed light relief and who doesn’t love a good poll!! (Also keep reading that as poo with lots of exclamation marks, to confirm it’s poLL!!!)

P.P.S before I get bashed..No I absolutely do not want to go back there, I know my self worth etc. I just find it funny how people think they can treat people like this!

If you text him you're opening yourself up to get sucked in by him. Delete and ignore.

DramaAlpaca · 25/02/2022 00:33

Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Thedogscollar · 25/02/2022 00:43

Oh defo ignore. What goes around comes around.

whumpthereitis · 25/02/2022 01:07

It may be to get your attention and get you to message him. It’s also possible he called you by mistake, sent the ‘didn’t mean to call, sorry’ message, then thought better of it as he didn’t want to initiate conversation.

AuntTwacky · 25/02/2022 01:14

Ignore ignore and thrice ignore

Imonlyhereforthehandwringing · 25/02/2022 01:19

You know He's drunk and he wants a shag.

Block 🚫 and ignore

Aquamarine1029 · 25/02/2022 01:22

Ignore, ignore, and ignore again. Don't lower yourself.

SleepingStandingUp · 25/02/2022 01:56

Ignore.

Options are

  1. He wanted to initiate contact because a) he realises the goddess you are B) he's horny but he i) is being passive and hoping you'll message him ii) regretted it immediately.
None of those options are good for your ego whether he replies or not
  1. Accidentally called you, text to apologise, thought oh shit she'll think I'm trying it on and deleted it in hope you'd not notice.
Again not great for your ego.

The bigger qn is WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE HIS NUMBER?

Squishmael · 25/02/2022 02:01

It's possibly a pocket dial or she other error. Ignore it.

Squishmael · 25/02/2022 02:01

*some other error

Justilou1 · 25/02/2022 02:36

BLOCK AND DELETE… Fool me twice, etc….

Monty27 · 25/02/2022 02:46

I'd rather cut my toenails than engage with such drivel
Enjoy

SugarAndCoffee · 25/02/2022 06:24

Delete his number or block it or something. Unfortunately it's not that unusual.

Luredbyapomegranate · 25/02/2022 06:57

@Squishmael

It's possibly a pocket dial or she other error. Ignore it.
Likely this, or he’s bored and trying to to a mini mind game with you.

Why have you still got this number / why are your engaging in this??

NobodysGonnaKnow · 25/02/2022 07:00

Ignore

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 25/02/2022 07:04

Honestly? He probably messaged you by mistake and hasn’t given it another thought since. You should do the same.
