For years, over a decade, I found myself in an on-again, off-again situationship. In the off times, I’d always evaluate the relationship and ask myself ‘How did we end up speaking again?’ To the young, naive mind, it seemed like his tactics were so slick and smooth that they were hard to decipher. But now that I’m older, I see that they were repeated patterns. And the more I talked to other women, the more I realized that there must be some type of script more than a few men are following. Because the strategies to worm their way back into your lives are tried and true.
Instead of reaching out to have an actual conversation about what transpired in the relationship, these are some of the more passive, “test the waters” type of ways men may try to not only gauge your level of interest or attachment, borrow some of your energy or gently coax their way back into your life. Check them out and let me know if you’ve experienced any of these before.
