You’re texting someone daily, maybe even went on a few dates, and everything seems to be going well. Then suddenly silence. No texts, no calls, no explanation. This modern dating phenomenon, known as ghosting, can leave you confused and hurt, questioning what went wrong.
Here’s why ghosting happens and, more importantly, how to deal with it without losing your confidence.
Ghosting is when someone you’ve been communicating with suddenly cuts off all contact without explanation. It can happen in the early chatting stages, after a few dates, or even in ongoing situationships.
Some people fear confrontation and prefer to disappear rather than communicate disinterest.
Online dating often means people are juggling multiple conversations, and sometimes they prioritize someone else and drop the rest without notice.
They may have realized they’re not ready for something serious, but don’t know how to communicate it.
At times, a person may simply lose interest but lack the maturity to express it.
Mental health struggles, work stress, or personal issues can lead people to withdraw suddenly.
Ghosting often says more about the other person’s inability to communicate than it does about your worth.
You might replay every message or date in your head, trying to find what you did wrong. Remember, if someone ghosts, it’s their choice—not a reflection of your value.
If someone wants to leave your life without a word, let them. Sending multiple follow-up messages rarely leads to closure and can damage your self-respect.
Was there inconsistent communication? Did they avoid sharing personal details? Use this as a learning experience to notice future red flags.
Invest in activities you enjoy, spend time with friends, and remind yourself of your worth.
Ghosting can feel like rejection, but it also clears space for someone who will communicate with respect
