3 Expertly Played Responses To Texts From Exes | HuffPost Life

Slow clap for these responses. 👏👏

By

Senior Lifestyle Reporter, HuffPost

If you split up on bad terms, a text from your ex generally doesn't deserve a response.

But sometimes -- as the BuzzFeed video above illustrates -- it would be a total missed opportunity not to reply. Take, for instance, this zinger of a comeback:

Person 1: You'll never find someone like me.

Person 2: That's the point.

So well played. Watch the video above for more hilarious exchanges, then check out the slideshow below for awkward "I want you back" texts from around the web:
