Have you ever ghosted somebody?
Have you ever ghosted somebody?
I have a couple times. The last time was a couple years ago with someone I met online who I was getting to know but didn't like after the first date. They asked if I felt like watching some movie and I didn't respond and they didn't follow up. Tbh, I probably would've answered if they had sent a second text. I guess I avoided telling them the truth but it stuck with me like a pebble in my shoe and I feel bad thinking about it.

why would you think that you would have changed your stance when the first date already set off rejection in you?
It wouldn't have changed my stance. A follow-up message would've pressured me to let them down easy seeing they were still interested, but their silence felt indifferent.
I read that more as answering and communicating the disinterest instead of ghosting them.
