Seriously-Just-DON'T!!

I don't have anything against that tho. Like I mean if you are upfront about your intentions, and say you only want to do play sessions and that you arent interested in anything more. BUT people don't do that 99,999% of the time. They say how they want to make you their everything , care for you , and so on, just to get those play sessions and what not.

Yes that's the other thing. So many people rarely have the balls to be honest.

If we're talking about general conversation ghosting, that's always going to happen.  I've had real life face to face conversations with many people over the years that have come to an end without anyone saying "I've decided I won't be speaking to you any further", that's just the way things are. 

Online, there are no visible clues that the other person has wandered off or whatever, so it leaves one person wondering what happened.  If it was a conversation with a view to forming some kind of relationship, the one who wandered off probably wasn't interested and the one who feels ghosted probably was.  If you're the one who was keen, you're maybe going to feel a bit hurt by it but it's going to happen. 

 

If you made your interest clear and the other person vanished rather than saying no thanks, it might not be nice but you got the answer either way. 

 

I've let conversations drop that clearly weren't going anywhere, the assumption being that if the other person wanted to keep talking they would get in touch and not wait for me to do so.

If it's an online relationship where someone just disappears I guess that's a different matter entirely.

Situation​s vary greatly out here in terms of this ghosting thing. Personally I don't mind it so much because of reasons but if someone doesn't want to talk to me it doesn't bother me. They have their reasons and a lot of those reasons have little or nothing to do with me. It is what it is =_=

 

People aren't​ really who they seem even in real life. If someone were chatting to a dangerous individual who decided they wanted to change victims, would that person want them to come back and explain why they didn't want to hurt that person specifically?

 

People ghost. It's usually not about you. When it is, maybe you did good. People aren't who they say they are, they're who they show you they are.

THIS. YES.

I dont get it either. I dont even care about all the reasons people have giving here. Its freaking rude, have some decency even on the 'faceless' internet. You are not talking to a robot, there is a real person on the other side. I cant stand rude behavior
