They want to know how you’re doing, if you’re thriving post-breakup, or if maybe part of you misses them, too. It’s possible they want you back but are just too scared to reach out, so they’re trying to put some feelers out there by talking to your friends.

Should I respond to my ex boyfriend right away?

It’s always best to think your course of action through first, and that includes whether you want to even respond.
