Need Some Clarity
Obviously every relationship is anecdotal and has its own elements, I’m just looking for a possible reason for the situation I am in right now.
My ex broke up with me about 3 years in October. I didn’t put up a fight and just accepted the fact it wasn’t going to work out (distance/work-life balance). I’ve mentally moved on and have completely lost feelings for her. I genuinely couldn’t care for her as a girlfriend, but at the same token, she was my best friend, and to tell the complete truth, I miss her as a best friend. I’ve noticed she’s recently come back into town and I decided to break no-contact by simply texting “Lunch?.” Figured it was a blunt but reassuring message. Pretty much saying I DO NOT want to rekindle the flame, but I’d love to catch up on some things.
Couple days pass, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve been ghosted. Pretty confused on why. I’ve been looking back at a few things trying to figure out why I’ve been ghosted, and I’ve genuinely come up with nothing. There wasn’t a toxic ending, we didn’t have a “beef,” it was simply because of the distance that was between us, and we wanted to practice our own professions. To be frank, a simple “no” would’ve sufficed, it wouldn’t have bothered me. But not even a response at all…makes me a bit puzzled.
For further context; she’s also just recently turned off her location and I’m not blocked on anything. I’ve worked on myself for a while now, and I was kind of excited to show her my growth.
