Nowadays, just about everyone sends text messages. It’s no longer a rarity at all. It’s so easy to just pick up your cell phone, punch out a little message and not even give it a second thought. That can be a good thing and it can be a bad thing. It’s way too easy to get thinking about your ex girlfriend and decide that the best idea is to send her some kinky little text message, only to regret it later on.

So, is it a good idea to send your ex girlfriend text messages if you want to get her back?

More often than not, sending your ex girlfriend text messages is not exactly the best thing that you can do. I mean, most of the time when you are thinking about sending her a message, it’s with the hope that just staying in contact with her will do you some good or that you will finally be able to type out those magic words that changes how she feels and makes her want you back.

Of course, the reality usually ends up being much different.

Now, I won’t go as far as to say that you should never text your ex girlfriend, it can be a good thing. As long as you do it sparingly, and it does not come across like you are desperate for her to text you back. If that is the impression that she gets… it’s not going to go over too well at all.

The other reality is… the text message has pretty much replaced the drunken phone call that every guy has done at least once in his past and regretted it later. 10 years ago, every guy had placed at least one of these calls and then woke up the next day wishing that he could take it back. So, that is another thing to consider, when is it that you really want to text your ex girlfriend?

When should you text your ex girlfriend?

Like I said, it’s much more effective if you use it sparingly, and really only as a way to keep the lines of communications open with her. Maybe send her a quick text mentioning some small talk and then let her respond on her own time. Whatever you do, don’t wait by the phone for her to respond. If an hour passes and she does not respond and then you send her another message asking her why she did not respond, it’s going to read like a man desperate for some attention.
