My ex-boyfriend's father died. I heard from my colleague. I haven't contacted him recently. I want to comfort him with text messages.

Don't say it directly. That kind of stimulation will evoke his sadness again.

Oh, to put it another way, if your relatives are missing, will your friends send you messages? Don't be too sad to hear that someone in your family has passed away?

Oh, I don't think it's appropriate. Besides, you heard it from a friend, and he didn't tell it to you himself. Don't you always say that it is shameful to wash dirty clothes in foreign countries? What if he doesn't want to tell you?

Ask him out sometime and spend more time with him. What he needs now is the company of others, but I don't know. Some people will like someone when they encounter these things. Call him and ask him if he has time to come out for a drink or something. Look at his reply. He is willing to come out and tell you about his family.

However, I feel that this seems to be one of his regrets. I don't want people to tell me that. Just try to ask him out first.
