I'm currently in a predicament rn where this girl was sending me paragraphs of texts, sharing personal info to me, leaning into the banter, then when I send a meet-up invite she leans in with the message, then ends up disappearing for 3 days whilst still checking out my IG stories.
People that ghost or fade seem genuinely bizarre to me. It takes 3 seconds to say "sorry, I can't make this weekend" or something similar. If the guy can't take rejection then use the block button. Isn't that literally what the block button is for?
Instead, nice guys are sitting here wondering if I actually did something wrong like move too fast to ask for a date. The fact she's ghosting me makes me angry. I can take rejection because it's natural and honest. But being ghosted is disrespectful and is typical of this superficial generation of OLD.
It's the online version of spitting in someone's direction, that's how I genuinely feel! Because they lead you on to a point where you put yourself out there and make yourself vulnerable, only for them to disappear, which makes me think the entire interaction and connection is a complete lie.
