Ghosted? Send This
Left on read? Pick who's gone quiet and the vibe you want, and get a ready-to-send message that actually gets a reply. Swap the bits in [brackets] and send.
Swap the bits in [brackets] for the real details before you send. A single friendly nudge works wonders — but if someone clearly isn't replying, take the hint and move on.
What to send when you've been ghosted
Being left on read is the worst — you want a reply but don't want to seem pushy, needy or rude. This tool gives you a ready-to-send follow-up for the most common situations: a tradesperson who never sent the quote, a recruiter after an interview, a company sitting on your refund, a mate who's gone quiet, a dating match who vanished, or someone who owes you money.
Pick the situation and the tone you want — polite, funny or firm — and you'll get a message you can copy, tweak and send. Just swap the bits in [brackets] for the real details. A single well-judged nudge often gets a reply where silence wouldn't; if it still doesn't, that's usually your answer.
Frequently asked questions
How do I follow up without seeming pushy?⌄
Keep it short, friendly and low-pressure, and give the person an easy out. The 'polite' option here is written to do exactly that — a gentle nudge rather than a demand.
What do I text someone who's left me on read?⌄
A light, low-stakes message usually works best — something easy to reply to that doesn't make a big deal of the silence. The 'funny' option is good for friends and dating; 'polite' is safer for work.
How do I chase a refund or a tradesperson?⌄
Be clear and specific: reference the order, quote or date, and ask for a concrete update or next step. The 'firm' option does this while staying civil, and hints at escalation where appropriate.
How many times should I follow up?⌄
Usually once, maybe twice with time in between. If someone repeatedly doesn't reply, take the hint — for refunds or money owed, escalate through the proper channel instead.
Is anything I type saved?⌄
There's nothing to type — the messages are ready-made on your device, and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
