Dating : Ghosting at the last possible minute
Seriously ghosting sucks, no matter how much I try to prepare for an eventual ghost it always still stings. The worst one I’ve experience is having actual plans made to meet someone & when you confirm that the date is still on they ghost you. Matched with a girl on Hinge, seemed like we hit it off pretty good, had a lot of the same taste, exchange numbers & social media. I asked if she was interested in meeting which she seemed super excited too. She lived about 40 minutes away so I had planned to meet her at a place near her since she was only able to meet after she finished work, & that she lived in area with a lot of nice places to walk around in the summer. I texted her about 2 hours before the meet time to confirm 100% & nothing, haven’t heard from her since. Reason this one stings is because I would of appreciated a text saying you don’t want to meet or you’re unable to instead of wasting my day waiting around for someone who was going to flake.
I agree that’s pretty rude. This has happened to me and it feels awful. One semi bright side is that at least you know that she isn’t interested in you now instead of a couple dates or weeks in. Go do something else you like to do. Don’t let some random person on the internet ruin the rest of your day.
Happened to me after I drove out to my college town for a date during summer vacation once. Not only could I not refund the movie tickets but I lost 2 hours of driving time and a lot of gas. That was fun 🙂
Luckily I don’t need to worry about that bullshit anymore because I’m in a happy relationship 🙂
Sitting in this boat right next to you. We matched on Tinder. She was flirty, and complimented me a lot, and we talked all day and exchanged numbers and continued on there. She told me she wanted to meet up and that she was free Saturday so we agreed to that. Literally in the middle of a conversation about how shitty ghosting is she stops responding. 18 hours later she says she passed out and woke up late and has been trying to get caught up at work. That’s cool. I respect that. Around 10PM last night I sent her a message saying I’d still like to meet up if she’s up for it. Got nothing. It’s now Saturday. Still nothing. How do we go from her telling me how attractive I am, and how she would love to meet me, and texting back and forth all day to just completely cutting it off without a word?
That’s just not ok. She should have the guts to let you know or she deserves the same from others.
Happened to me today too. Set a time and was confirming where we were meeting and he never got back to me 🙁 . Sucks wasting all that time getting ready just to stay in again.
Dunno what to tell you man. Happened to me also. Happened to my friends both where I live and from outside the country I live in. Kinda sucks, its like this nowdays. Maybe there is a lot of demands on her and she knows she can choose anyone ? Keep moving
People who ghost are cowards. Consider her doing you a favor because it would be like hell trying to date someone who cant be honest and will run or hide at first sign of conflict. Yea it sucks but it says so much about the person
I agree, it’s rude for real. A text to cancel would have been nice.
But everyone isn’t you. Maybe you would have done that, they ain’t you.
I think in all my life I’ve only been ghosted once. That was probably 10 years ago. I still remember that shit cuz I really did like the dude.
