Ghosting, have you ever been Ghosted or Ghosted someone else?Ghosting is a colloquial term used to describe the practice of ceasing all communication and contact with a partner, friend, or similar individual without any apparent warning or justification and subsequently ignoring any attempts to reach out or communicate made by said partner, friend, or individual.[1][2] The term originated in the early 2000s. In the following decade, media reported a rise in ghosting, which has been attributed to the increasing use of social media and online dating apps.
Honestly NO, I have been turned down plenty, even told to fuck off, cheated early early on, Never have I been ghosted, or been a big enough coward to tell someone I don't like them or to fuck off if it calls for it.
What do you think about being ghosted, or ghosting anyone else?
It's a huge character flaw

I got ghosted once. I just moved on because I expect some basic manners.

Yea, about 2-3 years ago a coworker and I struck up a friendship. We went out a few times after work and everyone seemed to have a good time. Good jokes, drinks, conversation, and her husband and kids were very likable too. Both of our families got along. Seemed like a natural fit we would be friends for years potentially.
She was let-go after a few months, her position was largely temporary to begin with, and she sent me a text asking if I knew anyone hiring. I said I would ask around for sure. A few hours later I sent her information for a potential job after talking to a friend of a former client. It was all on the up & up. Legit job, she was qualified for and it probably would have paid pretty well too.
She never responded. Never texted back, did not pick up the phone. Never contacted the job I sent her. No replies to my emails. Nothing.
I swung by her house a couple of times and no one answered the door. I could see she was still active on social media for a few weeks after she ghosted me; but then she blocked or changed all her SM accounts and poof.
We never had any disagreements or hostility between us. I have no idea what went wrong.

All the time on dating apps. It makes me respect the people who have the decency to actually turn me down.
It's pretty damn annoying as a behavior, and really it's just encouraged by the rise of the internet and the "i want everything now" mentality that's come with it.

Eh, not really. I get over things pretty quickly, it was just odd. I don't have any ill will toward her at all. She was really fun to hang out with though! Originally Posted by TheramoreIsTheBomb

If putting someone on here on ignore counts, then yeah. It doesn't bother me one way or the other however. I have always had the attitude, that if you dislike me, it is no big deal.
There have been and still are, people I do not care to have any type of social contact with and I avoid them.
Other than my wife or kids, no one else really matters in the scheme of things important when it comes to their attitude about me. I have learned when someone is acting like a friend and if they are trying to use you for whatever reason they have, then they never where one."

Ghosting is a very weird thing - never done it, never had it done to me. Although I did most of my teenage and early 20's dating in the age before social media and the pervasiveness of smartphones was really a thing (the late 90's and early 00's), so I that's probably a factor.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Its pretty normal behaviour nowadays. reason is simple - people have such busy lives that they dont have time for people who are not beneficial to them .
if someone ghosts you just move on - other person never cared about you in first place.

It's common in Tinder. Sucks when you expected more grace from a person, but then again they don't owe it to you.
Now you see it. Now you don't.

Still, what she did was wrong. And she should own up for it. Originally Posted by Fencers
