What does it mean when you date someone, only to disappear and reappear months later?

return of the ghost


Background –

Dated a guy for five months but at the start of the year and inconsistent with communication, he ended it saying he wasn’t ready to date. After no contact since then, he started sending me texts again. What’s up with that?

 

Response –

There could be a lot with that – and most, if not all, of it has nothing to do with you. It could be that he was genuine in his messaging and needed some time to be on his own to work on himself and heal, especially if he had recently gotten out of a relationship before he met you.


If that isn’t the case, he could have had other options on the table and wanted to explore those first before coming back to you. Another possible hypothesis is he’s testing his access to you. In other words, he’s testing the waters by sending you generic messages as feelers to see how you respond to the return of his ghost.


Again, these are all speculation unless you ask him directly, which is more than fair in your position. On the other hand, you’re well within your right to ignore/block/disregard his messages all together – you do not owe him anything at this stage…especially since he was the one who chose to end things. Sometimes, even when we apologize, we may not be able to get back what we chose to give away.


The ball is in your court on if you want to entertain this ghost in your space.
