What do people think about ghosting??

It’s great for Halloween , not so good on here!

Especially when you really like someone and they say they like you too don't get it at all!!

Oh, I thought we were going to discuss hunting ghosts, or ghostly encounters and such....

Well you could say the devil has many faces!!

Yes, and many disguises and forms.

It seems Ghosting is when you chat, go away and chat with someone else, then come back and chat some more, nothing wrong with chatting to others, no exclusivity it's just chatting. I think maybe you need to stop chatting and ask for a date if you are sufficiently interested in them.

Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in your search.

From what I understand, , ghosting is a conscious decision to permanently cut off communication from a loved one without giving them an explanation. Im sure people have valid reasons for doing it sometimes but it seems rather cold to me

I think that's called Dumping.

No chatting is chatting!! Ghosting is when you get really close to someone or go on a date and don't hear from them for days or weeks and sometimes never again!!

I think that some people who ghost are already talking to many people. They could be bored or lonely. Doesn't really bother me much, but maybe because I haven't found anyone on here that I like a lot. If someone does it to me, I just figure they didn't like me much to begin with or found someone else better. No big deal.

Yes thanks it's time to move on !! Have fun and enjoy the ride !!

I agree if you don't like someone or can't see it going anywhere just say it!!

unfortunately ghosting goes hand in hand with the instant gratification disease that has developed with the net.

i like you now but i like her better tomorrow so i'll ignore you unless she is not around

Yes, I think some are selfish, or maybe they just don’t like to hurt feelings.
Best being cruel to be kind I think.

I'm still not clear on what ghosting is is it just keeping somebody at arm's length.

Is it dumping someone..?
Is it breaking up with someone without telling them..?
????,,?????????

Not necessarily so. This isn't ghosting. Ghosting is when you have been talking to someone, not necessarily been out with, and just break contact for no apparent reason. What you are stating in your post is more like someone deciding you are not the one for them. And they move on. What has caused this, in my opinion, is the way of the world now.

Too many men and women that don't know the meaning of, I'm not interested, No, or, I don't think you are the one for me. Too many nutty people that can't take it when someone rejects them. I know, I've had a few women in my life that wouldn't let go until I got ugly with them. It's easier to break contact, and move on than it is to try to get some of them to go, "In a nice way".

I thought it was what you did when you follow someone without them knowing..
. And then you jump out of the bushes at them wearing nothing but a raincoat..
Ohhh.. wait a minute I think that's something else..lol

.. I thought it was when somebody makes contact with you disappears then reestablish .. contact then disappears again..
They just pop up from time to time with no apparent reason or anything really to say
