Should I tell him it was a bum call or just leave it?

Help!

probably the answer is just leave it, but..

90 mins ago I saw to my horror I was calling my ex (split up 5 months ago). He didn’t answer, but then called back 15 minutes later. I missed that (and wouldn’t have picked up anyway).

It’s SO annoying- I can’t remember the last time I called someone in error- why did it have to be him?!

Anyway- I’m now feeling kind of anxious like I should at least text and say sorry, I didn’t mean to call. But thinking that might sound like I’m playing games or something stupid like that.

On the other hand I’m stressing that if I say nothing, he’ll think I actually wanted to talk to him for some ‘reason’. When I was thinking only this morning how much of a twat he was.

I suppose the real reason I’m on here asking is that a stupid part of me is feeling hopeful in some way….

It’s best just left isn’t it?

Leave it. Take number off your phone.

I'd probably text to say sorry, didn't mean to call, I was trying to call (whatever the nearest name to him is in your contacts) solely so he didn't try and call back.

Probably best to delete or block his number if you don't intend to ever speak to him again though!

Thanks both. I guess there’s also a chance he’s deleted my number and didn’t even know who he was calling back!

I should have deleted his number 5 months ago.

Delete now and forget

I'd just send a 'Sorry, dialled wrong number' text and leave it at that.
If he tries to call back or anything just don't answer then block.

Personally, I would not send a text. Just delete the number and forget about it.

Yeah just leave it and delete his number.

I'd text sorry dialled wrong number then delete.

I'd ignore. I have a friend who used to do the 'oops, did I call you?' Thing to exes when she was drunk. Totally obvious and not a good look. If it's a genuine mistake, I'd just ignore. But delete his number.

If actually say "sorry called the wrong 'Steve'...."

And once you message him, block him. If he tried to reply he'll realise and the fact you've blocked him will sure it wasn't an attention grabbing move

Thanks all. I’ve gone for the simplest option and have not replied!
