Ghosting

Post Body

I donā€™t get it. If we lose interest in someone I will come and tell them outright vs leaving them wondering what the deal is.

Find the whole concept of ghosting pretty childish and disrespectful. Seems pretty prevalent in the LS. Wish people would grow a back bone and just start speaking their mind.

Then just block them. At least you were forward in communication that says more about them vs you.

I donā€™t see how ghosting is ā€œnicerā€ than saying ā€œSorry, but we arenā€™t a match. Good luckā€.

I am not going to lose sleep over it lol. Just pointing out that it is disrespectful to other people. Maybe I just care about others too much.

I mean I donā€™t think anyone has to say why. A simple ā€œSorry, but we arenā€™t a match. Good luck!ā€ seems respectful and gets the point an across.

I mean if you actually say you arenā€™t interested it isnā€™t ghosting in that case. I am talking about convos that are seemingly going well then out of no where ghosted.

Nah I am talking about a convo that was going on for weeks not just a casual flirt message.

Just block at that point. Tell them you arenā€™t a match and block if they continue to message. That isnā€™t ghosting in that case.

Thank you for being a decent person.

That is unfortunate. Not going to let this type of thing change who I am.

Just say it then block ? Yeah some people might freak out. They might also freak out if they are ghosted?

[not loaded or deleted]

Yeah that is ghosting. Ideally you could be more upfront about expectations say that you want to keep small talk to a minimum until you can meet in person?
