Let's open 2022 with less toxicity by leaving these bad habits behind.
Referring to them as "cowards," comedienne and actress Leslie Jones has clearly had enough of those in the dating game who "ghost" people that they've started forming a connection with. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a passionate message explaining her thoughts on the type of dater who leaves others hanging.
Maybe you’re a little ghosty when it comes to correspondence. You don’t like phone calls. You take all day to text back. You don’t reach out often. You do accept dates with him, but as a way of taking things slowly, you keep the correspondence light in between—but it’s so light that it makes him feel like you’d be perfectly fine with him just disappearing.
He has some explaining to do...
You can feel, deep down, that you aren’t allowed to get upset about anything if you want this thing to last. You can sense that picking one little fight will give him the fuel he needs to say, “Well, seems like you’re unhappy so maybe we should stop seeing each other.” Or, well, actually he wouldn’t say that—he’d just ghost.
Do you consider it ghosting when you start ignoring texts? Should you give an explanation when you decide to stop communicating with someone?
When you decide that you're going to be done with a man do you tell him about himself or do you just disappear forever?
