Does her "Merry Christmas" mean anything?

A male Canada age 41-50, *orbandallas writes:

About 6 weeks weeks ago my ex and I split up, her decision. The last thing she said to me was that she didn't feel comfortable talking to me anymore and I should forget about her.

So I haven't spoken with her since. On Christmas Eve I get a text from her "Merry Christmas! Xo...". Not really knowing how to respond to this I waited till christmas to respond with "Merry Christmas to you too". It's now boxing day and I haven't heard anything else from her.

She has an iPhone and apparently to send a text all your contacts on the phone you have to individually select them, this leads me to believe she didn't text me by accident.

Anyways, I'm not really sure what to make of this. She didn't want to talk to me anymore and then sends me this text; I'm confused. Does she miss me? Or is she just being friendly?

Should I maybe text her again?

People do change their mind you know. At the time when she broke up with you she probably said "forget about me" out of hurt etc...

Her sending that text doesn't have any hidden meaning, in my opinion. I think she thought "heck it's Christmas, i should send him a text too". I got a lot of Christmas texts from people i hardly even speak to anymore. It's just the "thing" to do during the holidays.

happy24birthday agony auntIt would have meant something if I had been the one to send it. I wouldn't txt an ex anything unless I were reaching out.

It would appear that it's just a friendly text, but she REALLY didn't want to talk to me at all anymore. She even said "You should just forget me, good luck".

Either way I'm not going to do anything about, I just think she has an alternative motive besides being cordial or friendly.

It doesn't sound like it means anything. Maybe if the text had been an individual one for you e.g. your name or something, but it seems just like a text she sent all her friends.

It doesn't. I don't know her or you, but I can tell you with 99.9% certainty that it doesn't mean anything.

If she ever really misses you as a boyfriend, she'll let you know. Otherwise, try to avoid making a fool out of yourself by getting your hopes up over these two simple words.

TasteofIndia agony auntI don't think you should text her. I got soo many texts this year, all mass texts, of "Merry Christmas!". From friends, exes, relatives, acquaintances, etc. Just because she manually selected you does not mean that she still has feelings for you. I suspect she is just being cordial and friendly. I do not think she is implying anything more.

I really do hope that you had a good holiday! Good luck!
