Being ghosted by someone who I thought was genuine. We were seeing each other for over a month (I know it’s not long), but everything went so well until he just disappeared completely for a few days. It’s not my first time being ghosted, I was ghosted by a guy who I was dating for over a year. I tell myself if I can get over that, I can get over this. But it still hurts so much right now 💔 I could use some extra support today

Hey mate
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds awful! I hope you know that this isn't a reflection on you and it's all on him

Thank you for your kind words :)

Sending you a virtual hug as someone that was ghosted after 3 months. You deserve better! This says far more about the ghoster's character than yours.

Ghosting culture has to go, I still don’t get it especially if you’ve seen someone multiple times.
How do people not have the decency to just make up an excuse to say they aren’t interested or just say they aren’t

hugs to you too. It is painful, but we can get through this! Their lacking of communication is a huge red flag anyway. Better them removing themselves now than wasting a few years down the road.

Sorry Op

like

I am so sorry OP. I was recently thinking about how people today don’t regret hurting other people. It’s like people take those dumb memes to heart: ‘You do you, sis! You do what makes you happy and F everyone else..!’ So if your SO bangs a bunch of people…that’s ok by you? Its just so baffling to me that people today are so self absorbed, leaving a bloody trail of broken hearts and spiritual damage in their wake.

Thank you :) The only thing I can do is to show up the best version of myself, hold integrity, and be genuine towards others. I will meet my person, hopefully soon.

He actually just texted me after being silent for about 3-4 days. He apologized for not responding, he said he is not in a good position to be in a relationship right now (he just broke up in February), and apologized for leading me on. Now I feel even sadder because I can’t blame him for being a bad person, it turns out he is a decent guy, but the timing is not right 😭

You can still feel sad that things didn’t work out as you hoped they would. Stay positive and focus on things that make you happy. You’ll find someone who wants to be in a relationship with you in time.
