Thanks everyone.

I think I'll send her a little friendly text tonight. I will prepare myself for the possibility I might not get any response.

You don't know unless you try.

I'm glad to hear the Dark isn't always the answer. Be very careful with expectations tho. I have not had a lot of contact with H, no R talk at all (which is actually good because I'm not sure I'm ready for that anyway). Mostly business with some small talk mixed in, even a little joking. However, there have been some instances he has not responded at all, (happy birthday text, happy father's day text) so again...NO EXPECTATIONS.

Thanks, Lost.

Worst case scenario is she tells me to F off (I highly doubt that considering her previous texts but it's a possibility).

No expectations.

Heh Thornton. Good luck with the text. Let us know. I havent heard from WAW in nearly three days. Longest in a long while. Feels like an eternity but want to see if she'll text first!

Hang in there Bashy! I went 30 NC from the get go! She finally texted me 3x in a row.

This will be my time initiating contact since she left.

Thor,

Seems I am now on board with "Thor" too! grin

Just curious to know based on what context you are texting W...what did you say?

For me, I based texts on situations and contexts. Examples would be exchanging birthday greetings, 4th of July, and things of that nature that would elicit fun, breezy text exchanges that are positive.

I do wonder if you jumped the gun now based on feedback here instead of being smart about how and when you use texts. Please understand that I am not criticizing your choice to send a text tonight at all. Just puzzled at the timing of it.

Hi Wonka,

Haven't texted her yet, she's just getting off work. Think I'll wait til later tonight.

I was thinking of just texting her something friendly and funny. My WAW used to break out in dance randomly. We would be watching tv and she would just start dancing. Always cracked me up.

So I was thinking of texting "Hey I was just thinking about all the times you used to just start randomly dancing and I couldn't help but chuckle. :)"

That way I can bring a good memory to her mind. Something fun, no pressure. No need to respond if she doesn't want to.

Thoughts?

When LBS says the words along the lines of "thinking about you..." it introduces pressure and comes across as pursuing. Because it becomes about her and shifts attention to her.

Nah.

I am not so sure if W would respond to your text...just my opinion.

It's up to you.
