7 Scientific Reasons People Ghost
You meet someone. They're attractive, fun, and...totally annoying. You have a couple of good times but you know this isn't for you, and you want to move your attention elsewhere. What do you do? How do you end this early-stage thing that you could barely call a "relationship"? Do you meet up over coffee, send a text, or pick up the phone? Do you do nothing and just wait until they stop reaching out? Ghosting is often used to end short-term relationships. For many people "ghosting" is a reasonable option. Ghosting is a quiet means of ending a relationship, and while it has been around for a long time, ghosting has stepped into the limelight given the ease by which people can ghost in the digital age. To ghost is, simply, to disappear. You're there one minute (answering texts, taking phone calls, available to meet up), and then suddenly, you give no responses. Texts are ignored, phone calls silenced, and any invitations to meet up are left unanswered. You vanish and the other person is left confused, uncertain, and alone. By some estimates, about 60-70% of emerging adults have ghosted someone else. We have teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to do the research on why exactly people ghost. Here is what we found.
