And probably didn't handle it all too well. Here is some of the backstory:
She broke up with me about 3 months ago since she "didn't see any point in continuing to see eachother since I wasn't planning on being monogamous anyway" (she accepted this during our time together).
I did some serious mistakes in that relation but not nearly as many as I did in the past. But those mistakes probably was what made her lose attraction for me. I took the role of AF but showed too many beta traits, I realize now in hindsight.
Anyways. What we talked about when she nexted me was that "maybe I had something to learn from my experience with her" (this is related to how I contacted her, I'll explain later in this post). And she was right about that. There were quite a few RP lessons that I learnt over those 3 months after breakup. I just didn't think so back then. During the talk I was unmoved, kept frame. I was not surprised, rather expecting her to leave at any time and had an IDGAF attitude. I treated her like she was a free person and I do not posess her and she clearly was attracted by my chill personality (me displaying some non-neediness, lack of jealousy or lack of suspicion of her).
So here is the "restart" I that I didn't put much thought into (drunk):
1 AM Me: I did have something to learn from you. I realize that now in hindsight! Thank you. (A bit too logical maybe. But at the same time a bit mysterious to raise ideas in her head about what I learned)
2 AM Her: You still have my number? :-) he he.. nice to hear that..
3:05 AM Me: Yes I collect people like stamps :-) (lol at what random thing I came up with. I was out dancing at a club with guys and girls I know. Being quite distracted.)
3:08 AM Me: Did you find tickets for the concert. I forgot to order. (I guess I wanted to relate to something we talked about several months ago as if it was business as usual)
I go to sleep
7 AM Her: Stamps? Hmmmm... :-) No. No concert on me! (notice the "on" instead of "for". Sounds a bit random or maybe just her trying to find a fun way to say it?)
12 o clock ME (a bit hungover and not thinking clearly but decided to respond sexually in some way): Mornin' <name>. Really? What did you do instead? Stamps yes! No, far from everyone fits in the album. You, I would glue on ;-) (expressing my sexual interest but a bit planless I guess. The language is a bit weird when I type it here but it sounds better in my native tongue)
12:03 Her: Realized I didn't want to go..there will be more opportunities later! (Ignores my sexual hint. Guess I shouldn't have given her the opportunity to respond to a non-sexual part of a message. Need to keep my texts shorter anyways.)
I take it she isn't interested (just being polite / having the respect of answering to a drunk and/or hungover ex. Maybe a little too respectful actually :P) or its because I didn't have a good plan / didn't show any leadership. Like for instance, suggesting to hook up early in the texts.
So should I stop responding (radio silence for another 3 months or so) or escalate to see how she reacts?
edit:
My "right now strategy" is to do nothing until I have a good plan lol. I am thinking that if I respond to her last message by suggesting to meet (ignoring that she broke up our thing we had going in the past) she might find me needy. But on the other hand it might show decisiveness which would be a good thing IF she is interested.
I suspect she is working today since she answered me 7 in the morning (she works some weekends). So maybe just waiting for her to let her day pass, thinking about my idea of "gluing her into my album" (I know she understands my intentions) and give her a chance to respond to that. And if she doesn't. Then just ignore her for another few months. She wasn't cold towards me so I don't think I should give up on her permanently.
