writes:Three months ago, I dated a man for one month. We spoke every day and went on 6 six dates which were all wonderful. After the last date, the following week he seemed to be withdrawing then coming back. It left me unsure of his feelings so I chose to give him space. We then never spoke again. I was a bit disappointed but moved on. His birthday is coming up and I'd like to wish him a happy birthday through text. Would it be inappropriate to wish him happy birthday as a friend after 3 months of no contact? I'm still fond of him and there are no hard feelings. I don't see any negative coming out of this except no response (in that case no biggie) but does anyone think it's a bad idea? I've never contacted an ex after separating whether it be an ex boyfriend or someone I dated briefly. Many thanks

 I think it looks a bit desperate that you even still have his number.
Let him go.

 I don't see why you would bother wishing him a happy birthday, you only went on a few dates and that was over three months ago, he might find it strange that you still even have his number. I think your best to delete his number and let it go.

I wouldn’t think it inappropriate or a bad idea to text someone a Happy Birthday… but in this case, why really bother? Good gracious girl; seriously you only had one month of dating and it’s been 3 months of no contact.
Besides it doesn’t sound like he’s that fond of you as you are of him… Bottom line, I think perhaps you truly haven’t moved on and you’re hoping to rekindle the flames?
