OK, so now at least you should have some idea of how to respond if your ex texts you out of the blue.

The truth is, if you really want to get him back, you should follow the steps outlined here.

The foundation of any effort to get your ex boyfriend back starts and ends with the no contact rule – which means you probably shouldn’t be texting with him in the first place.

If you want more information on the no contact rule, you can find everything I’ve written about it here.

But whatever you decide, remember that one of your best resources during a bad breakup is the support and help of your friends.

If you can’t stop thinking about texting him (especially if he just texted you), you can text a friend instead.

Doing what’s best for you and how you’re feeling is the best thing you can do – regardless of whether you want him back or not.

And if you do, then all you have to do is read more of my work to find out exactly how.

Now that you know exactly what to text him if he texts you, you might be wondering how to get him back and keep him for good. The good news is that if you know what to do then you can 100% get him back, but the bad news is that every day you wait makes it less and less likely that you’ll get back together. That’s why you need this secret formula to get your ex back in your arms for good, so that he sees you as “the one” and wants to stay by your side forever. Don’t miss your chance to get him back, read this right now: Do You Want Your Ex Back? Use This To Get Them Back…

    How do I respond to him texting me ” I am not saying this to get back together with you…I miss you”.

    • Cindey August 3, 2020, 11:34 am

      You don’t respond. Low effort = Low reward.

  • Mario April 4, 2018, 8:27 am

    Cute, but I doubt an ex would be this honest. Usually, the text would be “in code”. IE: “Hey Stanger” = “I’m trying to see if you’re single and still into me”

    How do I respond to my ex when he texts me saying that even though he is NOT going back with me but he’s sorry he Has hurted my feelings by his harsh words.
    He broke up with me because I cheated on him online.
    I still love him and I deeply regret what I have done. I really want him back!

    • Uti November 28, 2018, 4:27 pm

      I think in that scenario, he still cares about your feelings. So you should leverage on that and in a kind of way make him see your feelings. Once you have communicated your feelings to him and he gives you the red card, then I think you should be a normal human being and move on with life.
