It's happened to the best of us. One day you're happily talking to some cutie that you've met online, chatting through dating apps, texting, or using social media to get in contact regularly. Then, all of a sudden, they go ghost and leave you in the dust. Their messages stop out of the blue or gradually until you are left high and dry and wondering what went wrong.

Ghosting is a common phenomenon in the online dating world, and honestly unfortunately it is pretty much unavoidable. Many people have heard of the term, "ghosting", but did you know that there are actually several ways that this brutal practice can occur, all with different names to define them?

Maybe you have been benched, or perhaps you were being bread-crumbing along before being Marley-ed around the holidays. After all of that, maybe you are continuously being orbited, all while just being zumped by your long distance lover over Zoom.

Did those sentences leave you a bit confused? If you've never heard of these common ghosting techniques before, you must make sure to watch this entire video to find out all of the top ways that people are ghosting others - and being ghosted themselves.

Hopefully, this video can help you know what to look for and avoid any potential ghosting in your future!

I am recently single. I reconnected with someone from high school. She is perfect. We text everyday, any day. She wanted to see me first “she initiated getting together”. An hour prior to seeing her, I had my front tooth break. I found a dentist, hauled ass to her there, got hit by a semi, but made it. They fixed my tooth for $660 out of pocket. I drove home jumped in the shower. My original plans were wrecked. So I Took her around the lake where I live. I wasn’t myself at all. Just because my afternoon sucked so bad. She is gorgeous, I was definitely distracted by the wreck and paying $660 just to get my tooth fixed a day early. Not only that, She has asked about my past, which was basically me sponsoring another family that lived downstairs. No physical contact in years. I could feel the energy shift as soon as I told her. She was there for a while later. We hugged and said goodbye. She had plans every weekend for a month, and said she would talk to me later. The texts changed and felt a lot less important for her to talk to. It’s going to be over 10 days before I might see her and my birthday is on this Saturday. Her “family came into town randomly” So forget today. She lives a mile from me…
I’m used to meeting a girl, going on a date and if went well we would have plans before it was over. I asked when they were free, we’d make plans and it was easy. Once we started staying at the others house (with or without sex) we started seeing each other almost everyday. Now, I have to message on an app and wait for a date. If the date isn’t great (even though you total your $40k truck and throw away $660 just so you don’t cancel) you just sit back and wait? It will be weeks. We text like good morning and good night. I told her about how I wasn’t myself and asked to see her again. She hasn’t answered the question. I’m the type of person that just goes on dates with 1 person. I feel like every time I text her I make myself look like an idiot and desperate or something. Why the F can’t someone tell you yes or know? Not place you in a category or some crap. I started talking to my friends (girls) and they tell me about all these periods of testing people to see if they are a red flag, or how you handle being strung along. This is not fun at all. I wish I lived in a different time. I wish that she wasn’t absolutely perfect, or that I had kissed her in her bed 22 years ago. For me, if you don’t seem like you give a shit about seeing me I just move on. I had my girlfriends read out texts and they said that she is interested!! Am I just supposed to do this with 20 women at the same time to keep me entertained? God damn. I had no effing idea all this shit is normal until today. I am not stoked. I’m just bummed, which destroys any chance of seeing her again….
