A month of not talking: should I text?
Short answer
Only if you're ok with any answer
After a month, a friendly message is fine if you'd genuinely like to reconnect and you're ok with any reply, including none. Start fresh, like catching up with someone, without referring to the silence. Don't expect things to pick up exactly where they left off.
Why this happens
After a month, both people often assume the other has moved on. A light message can reopen the door, but only a reply shows whether they want it open.
It depends on
- Why you stopped talking
- What you hope for now
- Whether you've moved on
What you could send
- Hey, long time! How have you been?
- I was just at [place] and thought of you 😄
- It's been a while. Fancy catching up?
