Being ghosted

Why is it so easy for men to ghost.. conversation will be going great and then randomly never hear from them again. It is really discouraging as a woman who just wants to find a healthy relationship.

That can happen for various reasons but somewhere in the conversation they decided you did not fit their plan..... or idea of what they are looking for.

Ghosting is IMO immature but is easy so that is why it is done......

honestly in online communication things could be taken the wrong way as opposed to really talking with someone......... i have had situations where I had to ask ... "what did you mean by this?" to a person i was chatting with....... i had taken what they meant wrong......... but if i had not clarified........ i might have just not responded again.

That sucks. Especially when we think they’re cool person and we like them. But what to do, ghosting is kinda normal nowadays we just have to be not so easily attached to people. Its sad but thats the only way to protect our fragile heart 🥲

I realize that this response will not ease your pain and may not add to your understanding of the 'why' behind you being ghosted. Women do Ghost Men too.

Ghosting feels to me like something that now passes for manners and appropriate behavior - which, of course, it most certainly does neither.

It is painful to experience, for me, because of the lack of immediate finality which feels far easier to understand and release. The finality provides an opportunity for growth and self-reflection and causes me to wonder who the 'ghoster' really is or was...

I wish you great peace and the understanding that it is not 'You'.
