The "indirect direct approach" that an ex will take after a breakup refers to strategies they use to initiate contact or gauge interest without overtly expressing their intentions.
This approach often involves subtle actions that test the waters before making a more direct move.
Here are some common behaviors associated with the indirect direct approach:
WHY DO THEY DO THIS AND NOT JUST BE DIRECT?!
- Fear Of Rejection
- Safety Buffer
- Check if you are still angry at them and over the breakup
- See if you’ve changed
1. Indirect Communication
- Sending Mixed Signals: They might send mixed signals through ambiguous messages or actions that keep you guessing about their true intentions.
- Using Humor or Nostalgia: Bringing up funny or nostalgic moments from your relationship in casual conversation, indirectly hinting at their fondness for those times.
- Subtle Compliments: Giving compliments that seem casual but hint at deeper feelings or memories.
2. Social Media Activity
- Liking or Commenting on Posts: Your ex might start liking or commenting on your social media posts. This is a way to show they are thinking about you without directly reaching out.
- Posting Relevant Content: They might post things that are subtly related to your shared interests, memories, or inside jokes, hoping to catch your attention and provoke a response.
- Updating Profile Pictures: Changing their profile picture to one that you took or one that reminds you of a happy time together can be a subtle nudge.
3. Mutual Friends and Family
- Asking About You: Your ex might ask mutual friends or family members about you, indirectly showing they are still interested in your life.
- Hanging Out with Mutual Friends: They might start spending more time with mutual friends, increasing the chances of running into you or hearing about you.
- Passing Messages: Using mutual friends to pass on casual messages or updates about their life, hoping to spark curiosity or a reaction.
4. In-Person Encounters
- “Accidental” Meetings: Your ex might frequent places where they know you go, like your favorite café or gym, making it seem like a coincidence when you run into each other.
- Attending Mutual Events: Showing up at events where they know you’ll be, such as parties or gatherings of mutual friends, to create opportunities for casual interaction.
5. Random Check-Ins
- Checking Up on You: Sending a casual message like “Hey, how have you been?” or “Just wanted to see how you’re doing,” which can be a way to open a conversation without seeming too forward.
- Using Shared Interests or Hobbies: Reaching out with information or questions related to a shared interest, such as a movie you both wanted to see or a hobby you both enjoyed.
6. Indirect Apologies or Accountability
- Acknowledging Mistakes: Making subtle references to past mistakes or expressing vague regret about how things ended, without directly apologizing.
Responding to the Indirect Direct Approach
If you notice your ex using these indirect strategies to initiate contact, consider the following before responding:
- Assess Your Feelings: Take time to understand your own feelings and whether you want to engage with your ex again.
- Set Boundaries: Be clear about your boundaries and communicate them if necessary. It’s important to protect your emotional well-being.
- Reflect on the Relationship: Consider the reasons for the breakup and whether reconnecting is a healthy choice for both of you.
- Stay Grounded: Avoid reading too much into subtle signals. If you’re unsure of their intentions, it might be best to wait until they communicate more directly.
