'He thought he could convince me I was pregnant': 25+ ridiculous attempts exes made to get back together

Trying to get back together after you've burned a bridge is a lost cause. It's kind of a Sisyphean task and a pointless one at that. If your relationship crashed and burned, you must be in an even worse place if you're trying to get back together. There's no way you could be well-adjusted. If you were, you would have recognized that the damage is done and that it's just better for everyone involved if you walk away and stay away.

Some of us, however, are not this smart. When I was in my early twenties, I made the foolish mistake of thinking someone was too nice to date. So I ghosted. Two failed relationships later, I backpedaled and managed to convince this kind person to go on another date. I hyped myself up and convinced myself that it didn't work out the first time because I wasn't in the right headspace and didn't have enough self-respect to be the recipient of so much kindness. Things changed, however, when we tried to go on that date. That's when I realized that this person wasn't just nice. They were also boring and we had zero mutual interests. So, unfortunately, I wasted everyone's precious time. Oh well, I guess I learned the hard way.

Thankfully, these were just a few rounds of dates and not a full-on relationship like some of these folks, who shared their stories via this r/AskReddit thread. Keep scrolling below for their anecdotes. When you're finished, feel free to check out these autumn memes and flops.
