Have NC'd for this.

Had an email off an old flame today - we separated over 12 months ago. He broke my heart and I have moved on. He told me he thinks of me 'quite often' Would you think quite often is daily, weekly, monthly? I would just like you thoughts so I can decide on my reply.

'Well, I never think of you. But thanks for letting me know.'

Why reply to someone who broke your heart? Delete and move on...

He's fishing , I'd block.

He's bored/drunk/in between fbs and its a booty call.

He's testing the waters to see if you'll bite. Don't.

I'm very cynical.

Thanks. Yes you're all right. Don't know why replying even crossed my mind.

Avoid. Never ended well IME :(

Yep pleasejustgo is spot on.

I got exactly the same. About a year later, out of the blue, phone beeped .. 'Can't stop thinking about you'. First thought was Who TF? (cos I'd deleted his number) and second thought was What TF? ... and ignored. Got another one about a month later 'not a day goes by I don't think of you' - ignored that one too and the fucker gave up.

A text or email is sent in a moment. They are either lonely, horny or nostalgic and he's just throwing out some bait to see if you'll bite.

Ignore.

Do NOT reply.

Block his number.

You have moved on.... do you want to repeat the pain you went through when he first broke your heart?

fanclub · 09/05/2014 19:04

No I definitely don't want to repeat the pain. I thought he was 'the one' but it turned out he thought someone else was 'the one'. Looks like she wasn't. We've had no contact for 10 months.

I've had a really horrible week and am feeling pretty low. Under normal circumstances I know I would have deleted the message without a second thought. It's as if he knows I'm feeling vulnerable at the moment!

It sounds like it hasn't worked out with the other woman and like everyone else has said he is just fishing. Don't reply, just delete and block his number

Mmm he wont change. You have. Def ignore.
