Have you ever ghosted someone?

[wavejock]

before Ghosting was a term we called it "trapped dooring" as in you would just disappear. I have done it if it was just date or 2 or just im my mind just a hookup or casual. I think its lame to do to someone you are dating but lose interest..but short term or hookup sure whats the big deal...not every thing has to end with a big im not interested anymore goodbye

I ghosted a friend when I was in my early twenties. We had been friends for a few years but it was just so much work. He never had money, I was always paying for things. He was a disaster. We were talking one night and made plans for the following day and then I just disappeared. I didn't answer phone calls. Stopped responding to text and Facebook messages. That was five years ago.

I ghost everyone in my life sooner or later

I was dating this girl last year... Completly crazy I'd later find out... It was my one day off of work that week, and we had made plans for around 2pm. Since it was my one day off, I stayed up late, drinking and what not. Around like 10pm, I get a text from her saying that she's at the mall we were supposed to meet at at 2. I was obviously still tired and it wasn't 2, and I hadn't confirmed anything about meeting her any earlier, so I ignored the message, and went back to sleep as planned. Or at least I tried to. My phone kept making noise every few minutes for like 15 minutes at a time. Then my phone would ring. And ring. And ring. It got really annoying so I shut my phone off. Finally I wake up at 3, and decide to read through all of her messages. They weren't nice messages. Apparently I abandoned her, I wouldn't answer her calls, her texts, etc... etc...tons of angry and crying emojis. For whatever reason, I felt bad, it wasn't my intention, but if we had confirmed plans for 2, and she is blowing my phone up at 10 in the morning, obviously I'm not just going to change my schedule and be tired. So I felt bad, and tried to call her or text her, but I found out I was temporarily blocked. A few days later, she had unblocked me, so I claimed that I left my phone in my sisters car and apologized and what not, and finally got another chance. That was the biggest mistake of my life. She would show up at my job and go to reception and ask for me, she would always need to borrow money. One time she literally came to my work to ask to borrow money so she could get pads. I'm not a female, and I've never purchased pads or tampons for my female family members so I asked her how much they cost. She told me 20 dollars. I just wanted her gone from my work, so I gave her the money, and she said "How can I repay you?" and I was like "idk just surprise me one day at work with some food", and she literally asked me "Do you want to give me some more money so I can get you some food now?" and in my mind I was like "wtf", but I was nice and said no it's alright. I later found that tampons and pads don't cost 20 dollars unless she's buying in bulk or some shit. I should have seen the warning signs and ghosted her long before. She would also always make scenes at restaurants. One day we went to pizza hut, and she noticed that the pizza of the other couple had more ingredients than our pizza had. (I thought it was the same), but she made a huge scene and demanded a new pizza. Afterwards she ate one slice, and asked if she could have the leftovers to bring home, which she later gave to stray dogs on our way to the movies, which she also made a scene at... I saw her a few weeks ago, as soon as I saw her I made it a mission to get out of the vicinity so she didn't see me. She was beautiful in apperance and what not, but mentally she was a fucking loon.

Not sure how to edit, but I realized I said she texted me at 10pm, but I meant to say 10am. She was there 4 hours before we had our confirmed plans.

Since I don't use social media and generally live under a rock anyway, I think I'm a bit behind the 8 ball... I've only just discovered the term ghosting. And I've sadly come to the realisation that I've been on the receiving end of this more than I'd like to think about. I've never done this to anyone I've dated... I believe in being up front.

So what I want to know, for those of you who have ghosted someone... what were your reasons? Maybe I'll learn something out of this...?

I must live under an even heavier rock, what is ghosting? is that putting someoneon block

not necessarily blocking someone, but pretty much disappearing. either in having plans and not showing up, picking up your phone, or ever texting them back, or like you suggested, blocking them out of nowhere.
