I just try and understand that sometimes things fizzle out and just keep trying, like you'll have a great conversation with someone but after a few days they stop talking and lose interest. That is just the way it goes in love and war, it doesn't always work out. I don't really think of that as ghosting, just in my opinion, I tend to think of ghosting as making plans and never showing up, that is just straight-up rude.

If you define ghosting as just sort of letting a conversation go or not really expressing much of an interest in a second date, then I guess I have found myself more on the "ghosting" side than the receiving side.

Reasons why I have "ghosted": One person I went on a date with disclosed some serious mental health issues, I am glad they disclosed and wish them well, but I did not go on a second date. Another girl seemed a little too obsessed with her muscles and started calling me "babe" via text after one date. Most times though it is because we just didn't have any chemistry and there wasn't really that zing of excitement. I will say, and I feel really terrible about admitting this, but I did "met" someone on reddit and we would have really great conversations and she seemed like a really interesting person, but after she sent me some pictures I just sort of let the conversation go. That sounds really terrible, and truly it is, I fully admit it was a real asshat thing to do, but I didn't really know what to do.... tell her I thought she was unattractive? And I didn't want to keep dragging it out due to guilt. I do really feel bad about that, but I don't think that sounds like your experience, I just wanted to confess my misdeeds, lol!
