You faded out on good terms
Casual callback

Private dating wingman
What do you text him after a long silence? Reopen light. Skip the apology.

Things ended awkwardly
Short and low-stakes
Keep the first text easy to answer and pressure-free. You're testing the water, not relitigating the past.
You miss him and want more
Honest but light
A little sincerity works — 'you crossed my mind' — as long as it stays calm and doesn't demand a big response.
You're not sure he'll reply
Send it without expectation

FAQ
More about reconnecting.
How do I text someone I haven't talked to in a while?
Open light and natural — a callback to something you shared or a genuine 'you crossed my mind.' Skip the apology and the 'long time no talk.' DearHim can write the exact message for your situation.
Should I acknowledge the silence?
Usually no need to make a thing of it. A heavy explanation adds pressure. If it really matters, a light 'been too long!' is plenty.
What if he doesn't reply?
Then you have your answer and your peace. Reaching out was the brave part. I can help you decide if one follow-up is worth it.
Is this really free?
