So, this girl is my ex. We used to date, then broke up, and kind of tried to stay friends. But lately, things have started to feel weird between us. One day we talked, and I mentioned that I’ve been seeing someone recently. From that moment on, I noticed a shift in the dynamic.
She started doing manipulative things—like posting a fake story of herself in a car with a guy. I didn’t fall for it, so I ignored it. Then she messaged me and tried to talk about the “date,” and all I said was “have fun.” One time, I suggested that we go out, and she replied that she already had plans with another guy. But I knew she was lying because she later posted another fake story (which I found out using Google search and AI tools).
She also started playing hot and cold—leaving me on “seen” for hours, then sending a sweet message afterward. Another time, she hinted at wanting to talk about a date or said she had something important to tell me, but then she disappeared out of nowhere.
I’m aware of what she’s trying to do, and I don’t want to fall into her trap or play her games. What actions do you recommend I take? And what should I avoid in situations like this?

Block her? Stop interacting with her all together. If your seeing someone new I’m sure they’d rather you have no contact with your ex anyways
First you mentioned she is your ex why are you still friends once it is over you have to completely remove her from your life otherwise it is expected.
Don’t message her don’t even respond to her messages clearly ignore it if she asks just tell her you didn’t see or you were not in the mood , put her post to silent or unfriend/ unfollow her. Stop hanging out with her. Start maintaining distance. Life is to short to waste time on these people. You have already broken up as long as you talk to her , or hangout with her she will always think low of you. Be available for other friends but not for her.
Why are you still entertaining this?
I’m sorry but not only is she your ex, but she’s also manipulating you and trying to make you jealous? Seems like it’s working, considering you’re making this post and using AI tools to investigate.
You need to either go back to your ex or let her go. This isn’t fair to either of you, or the person you’re currently seeing.
Why on earth would you ask her out again? Stop messaging her. This is common sense 101
If you know she’s trying manipulate you, then just ignore her tactics completely. She will stop eventually. Maybe you can tell her to stop trying such things. Explain it to her that you both must move on for your own sakes. Or if you still like her you should just go back to her because otherwise it’s unfair to your current partner
She’s your ex, why do you feel bothered about this? Who cares what she does, or if she makes up fake story. It shouldn’t bother you, unless you aren’t over her yet.
Seems like she’s still in love. False hopes…? Maybe it’s not conscious manipulation at all; maybe she’s too proud or overwhelmed to talk honestly with you about the fact that she still likes you. I don’t think a good friendship will work, and a potential new partner would quickly turn off if you had a “friend” like that. Break off contact.
It’s simple…walk away. As a 60 Yr old I’ve been there more times than I care to remember and believe me, she will keep on with this behaviour and more so.
Block her end of and go enjoy drama free living. Life really is too short to be encumbered by people who don’t enrich your life 👍
thank you GPT for this AI generated post
You kinda fell into her trap anyway by using AI tools to check her story lmao I’m more interested in that than this story though tbh.
Anyway, if it feels like a problem then you should ghost and ignore
GHOST HER- BLOCK HER- DO NOT ENGAGE IN HER BS
Use the “Grey rock” technique all the way with her regards to your (and her) relationships.
She’s protecting her ego. You don’t need to help.
