I’ve definitely heard this excuse before, and it’s a bunch of bull shit. “I thought only official couples had to officially break up.” Zach, 25 states that he thought a break up was only necessary if you’re in a genuine, exclusive and official relationship. Yes, Dave, confrontation isn’t easy – but grow up!Ĥ. “To avoid confrontation.” Dave, 29 admitted to me that he finds the break up conversation very uncomfortable, and that he would ghost to avoid that conversation even knowing how selfish he was being. Ladies, date more men and less boys, and you should be fine.ģ. This makes perfect sense: one’s likelihood to ghost is directly related to their maturity level. Justin, 27 said the reason he used ghosting as an exit strategy in his past is because he was immature, and a boy – not yet a man. “Because I’m immature.” Well, at least he’s honest.
Good luck rekindling things after pulling something as awful as ghosting.Ģ. By ghosting you still are ending the relationship, just in a really shitty way, and down the road she’ll remember that. Sorry, Derek, but that’s the most fucked up logic I’ve ever heard. “I wanted to keep her as a future option.” Derek, 28 says that by ghosting, you’re not officially ending the relationship, which allows you to keep her as a future option in case you change your mind down the road or in case it doesn’t work out with the girl you ghosted her for. Here are 8 fucked up but completely honest reasons why people will ghost you.ġ. Who would actually do something this callous, you ask? I polled some men guilty of the crime, and asked them why they did it. In short, it’s the self-centered and easy way out of a relationship (or ‘almost-relationship’, or ‘situationship’ – or whatever you want to call it.) Calls, texts and Facebook messages will go unanswered until we finally “get the hint” and accept the fact that it’s over. This means that whoever we’re dating will suddenly cease all communication in an act of selfishness to avoid confrontation. Instead of being treated like a human being and given an explanation, we’re often ghosted instead. Ghosting shouldn’t even be a thing, that’s how ridiculous it is. The phenomenon even has its own definition on Urban Dictionary. “Ghosting” is a term used to describe the sudden radio silence we’re victim to when someone we’re dating decides they’re no longer interested in us, but doesn’t have the balls to just say so.
Our generation is being made to look like a bunch of dating degenerates, largely due to a toxic dating culture that condones dishonesty and has normalized shameless acts such as ghosting. To all those who ghost: You’re making our generation look bad.
