There’s a reason past relationships should stay right where they are—it’s hardly ever a good idea to text your ex, even when you’re feeling desperately lonely and you know for a fact they’d come running. Whether they’re drunk or it’s 2 AM, these signs are most likely to stir things up and send “wyd?” to their past flames:

Cancer
Sometimes, Cancers have way more feelings than they know what to do with and will do anything to get it out of their system, like shooting a quick, seemingly innocuous text to their ex. Don’t be surprised when you see them typing out long, emoji-filled missives to their ex about how much they miss them and how they truly believe they belong together, says Her Way.
Leo
Leos get bored easily, so they use their creativity for both productive and nefarious reasons. They’re thrill seekers in a different way, and when nothing is happening to them, they won’t hesitate to stir the pot and reach out to their ex—especially when they’re feeling magnanimous, confirms Bustle. Even though the relationship may have ended on a sour note, Leos believe in second chances—as long as it gives them the excitement they’ve been looking for!
Scorpio
Scorpios love taboos, and the general disapproval surrounding texting an ex is exactly what makes it so appealing for them, says Bustle. They’ll even take it a step further by proposing phone sex as long as their ex-lover is down for it. The romance in rekindling an old flame and potentially getting back together is too much for this sign to resist, but really, these are all extravagant manifestations of their boredom.
Taurus
Tauruses are creatures of habit. When they’re settled into a routine that used to involve a former paramour, they’re often hit with a pang of loneliness that has them reaching for their phones and hovering over their ex’s name, says Bustle. The idea of sending a short text is comforting to them since it puts their intentions out there, but there are better ways to get the coziness and nostalgia they're looking for!
