We all make mistakes.

Sometimes people come into our lives at the wrong times and we realise too late that they were actually pretty great.

So, how do you rekindle an old flame without being a complete and utter pandemic cliché? Tricky.

Tinder has rustled up a tool called Ghosting Graveyard that might provide some assistance in sliding into the DMs of someone you once ghosted.

Go to ItsYourBoo.comand type in your first name and that of the person you ghosted.

Next, select a reason for getting back in touch.

Once you've done that, you'll get a personalised ice-breaker that you can copy and send to your former flame. If you're not satisfied with the message that Tinder has come up with, you can press shuffle to generate another.

Some of the ice-breakers include classy lines such as "Our conversation reminds me of Game of Thrones— it deserves a better ending," and "We were just like Ross and Rachel — on a break."

Let's hope your ghost has a sense of humour.
