"I was really good friends with this guy before we started dating. I just stopped responding to him, and he eventually stopped reaching out." He seemed like a nice guy on the surface, but he could not take a hint. The final straw was when I told him I was signing off for the evening and he said he wanted to join me in the shower - this was after, like, three days of knowing each other. We had kissed and I liked him, but he kept sending me overly intimate chat messages on AOL Instant Messenger that made me feel uncomfortable. "I ghosted a guy in college about 15 years ago, before ghosting was a known thing. I realized that if he could go a few days without talking to me and not think anything of it, it wasn’t worth spending my time on." "I was talking to someone who often wouldn’t respond for two-to-three days. Randy Holmes / Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 12. I still think about it and wish I could apologize." Instead of telling her that, I just never replied to her texts or answered her calls. It didn't feel right and I felt like the chemistry we had built up throughout the evening was just lost. Overall, it was great - until I asked if I could kiss her. "I met this girl on Tinder about four years ago, and we went out to dinner and a movie. But now we've been together for four months, and it's going great with no problems." I connected with him a few months later to apologize and explain my side, and then he ghosted me too since he wasn't in the right place mentally. I had some personal stuff going on and, maybe because of my past experiences, was afraid of being stuck in a relationship with no freedom. "Our flirting was going well, but I wasn't ready for a relationship. NONE of whom he had mentioned at any point. "He was engaged.to the mother of his two children. It was easier to just ignore the texts/calls and find the next person." I didn’t realize it at the time, but I didn’t want to be in a relationship (and frankly, I didn’t need to be in one). "I had just gotten of a 10 year relationship, was going through a divorce, and had a toddler. He eventually sent me one last message telling me that if I didn’t answer, he was done. It was too much, so I just stopped answering. Even after I told him I was done, he would send a 'hey, what are you doing?' text. "This guy I was seeing would disappear for days or weeks at a time, and as soon as I would move on, he’d pop up again. My boyfriend is now my husband of 13 years, so I guess it all worked out." My boyfriend and I ended up making up - when the other guy called, I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, so I just didn't say anything. I went out later and gave my number to another guy. "I got in a fight with my boyfriend and tried to break up with him. Every little thing was a full-on discussion. She wanted me to meet her family after two dates and wanted to hang out several times a week. "I didn’t have the heart to tell her, but this girl was so clingy. I tried to give him closure, but it became too much, so I ghosted." Once I finally decided I was leaving, he spammed me with messages begging me to stay, saying that I was ruining his life. This past year, I finally took off my rose-colored glasses and started viewing it for what it was: a completely toxic relationship that was truly breaking me down.

I tolerated it because I loved him and thought, if I was putting so much effort into the relationship, there was no point in throwing it away. No matter how hard I tried to make him happy, he would constantly invalidate my feelings, make me feel like I was crazy for being upset over things, and isolate me from my friends. We were on and off - we broke up numerous times and he became emotionally abusive. He kept on talking about marriage and he even brought me home to meet his parents on the FIRST DATE." "I'm not really proud of it, but I ghosted a guy I went out with once.
