Would it look desperate if i texted him?

So my first serious boyfriend dumped me said he needed a break and we haven't talked in about a week. I've been dying to contact him and his birthday is in another week, would it look desperate if I txted him happy birthday even though he dumped me? I...

still like him and I think we had a good relationship, let me know that you think people! thnx!!

If you haven't talked to him for over a week and you're not constantly bothering him, then saying Happy Birthday wouldn't seem desperate at all.

Agreed. It's his birthday!

I agree... If you haven't bothered him over this past week, then wishing him a Happy Birthday should not do any harm. There is always a possibility of having a mutual friendship eventually
