Remember that time when your phone buzzed with a text from the one person you thought had ghosted you for good? Well, buckle up, because apparently, ghosts do come back to haunt you! Just when you’re settling into single bliss or perhaps a little Netflix and chill with zero stress, here they come, asking for a second chance like they didn’t disappear into the night. What do they want? Who sent them? More importantly should you let them back in?

The Return of the Situationship
You know the drill. One day they were everywhere your text messages, your thoughts, even your fridge (because they ate your snacks!). Then poof they vanish. But just when you’ve mentally stamped “Case Closed,” here they are sliding back into your DMs like, “Hey stranger…” (Insert eye roll here.)

Classic Comeback Lines
Let’s break down the legendary lines they use for their comeback tour:
“I’ve been thinking a lot about you.”
“You crossed my mind, and I realized I messed up.”
“I miss us.” (Was there an “us,” though?) It’s like they’re reading from a manual titled How to Re-enter Someone’s Life 101.

Why Situationships Love to Recycle
It’s not just about missing you; it’s about the convenience. You’ve already got history. They already know your favorite snacks and how to make you laugh. Why start fresh when they can pull a classic rerun?

Should You Entertain This Encore?
This is where the fun begins. You’ve got two choices:
Play along for the drama. Get your popcorn ready and watch the situation turn into a soap opera.
Hit them with the unbothered energy. Politely decline, tell them you’ve upgraded to a better version of yourself, and carry on.

Let’s be honest, sometimes it’s tempting to let them back in just for the nostalgia (or the drama). But whether you want to give the situation a sequel or leave it in the archives, just remember to keep it light, fun, and on your terms. After all, life’s too short to take ghosting too seriously.
