Number 6: The accidental text. And now, this could be any number of things. It could be a blank text… it could be just an emoji… it could be a message that they meant to send to somebody else, but it found its way to you. And this, again, is to open the door. If this happens to you, by now, I hope you know what to do: ignore it.
Number 7: This is the most devious: the apology. We all know that an apology coming from a narcissist is not genuine. They don’t really apologize, so when they do, and it seems genuine, you naturally want to forgive them. You feel like, “Wow, it must have taken a lot for him or her to actually come to me and say that.” Well, it took a lot; it took a lot of acting, is what I mean. It’s not genuine.

Number 8: Another way that the narcissist may try to Hoover you is with an elaborate promise: “Hey, let me whisk you off on this exotic vacation so we can reconnect.” Or, “Let’s get married! Seems like a good idea, right? I mean, I just dumped you, but I’m so sorry. I realized my mistake. Let’s just take the plunge and get married.” They’re likely to play on whatever they think you want, so look out for that. If they’re coming to you with something that you’ve always wanted, suddenly, be skeptical.
