Common Questions

Q.When is it appropriate to send a witty birthday wish to an ex?

A witty birthday wish is best reserved for situations where both parties have moved on, share a friendly rapport, and there are no lingering hard feelings or romantic intentions. If your breakup was recent, messy, or if you know she's sensitive about contact, a more neutral or no message might be wiser.

Q.How do I ensure my witty wish isn't misinterpreted as romantic?

Focus on humor that is self-deprecating, refers to shared, light-hearted past experiences, or pokes fun at the general awkwardness of wishing an ex 'Happy Birthday' from a platonic perspective. Avoid overly affectionate terms, inside jokes that only make sense in a romantic context, or any hint of longing. Keep it brief and light.

Q.What if I'm not sure if she'll appreciate a witty tone?

When in doubt, err on the side of caution. If you're unsure of her current feelings or how she might perceive your humor, a simpler, kind, and neutral 'Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day!' is always a safe bet. The goal is to be clever, not to cause discomfort or confusion.
