Is it normal to get ghosted?

So the last two guys I was talking to ghosted me. The first one stood me up the day of our date (that he invited me to) and the other one just stopped talking to me out of the blue (we were talking all the time before this happened.) Has this happened to anyone else? I'm tired of being ghosted.

    I've never been ghosted, and I've never ghosted anyone. If I don't want anything to do with someone I tell them to their face. Ghosting is a bitch move.

    They didn't want to talk to you anymore, so they stopped talking to you.

    I’m sorry for your bad experiences, this shouldn’t be normal but more and more people have no manners or emotional intelligence. Take solace in knowing the trash took itself out.

    I've both ghosted and been ghosted.
    In my case of doing it myself it was someone I hardly knew and didn't have any interest in getting to know better anymore. That usually is the reason, and if it's someone from a dating app you don't know how many other women the same guy is talking to until he decides on one. Although standing someone up is quite horrible.

    I know someone who does this all the time and I ask her why and she legitimately doesn't know. She doesn't mean anything shitty by it, and doesn't seem to think much about it hurting the other person. Maybe she assumes they're all in the practice of doing the same thing. I think it's an anxiety thing.

    Unfortunately, it seems that people no longer know how to communicate and this along with blocking out of the blue (completely unprovoked) are the new norm.

    Back when I used grindr I met this guy. He was going to be in town one day so we made plans. Told him u was gonna take a shower freshen up. He said something like talk to you soon or what the fuck ever. Anyways that was the very last thing hd ever said to me. Initially I was worried he got in a wreck or something. But nope it showed he was on grindr like a week later. Moral of the story is people can be assholes. If someone stands you up dong be upset be happy. You just found out they arnt remotely worth your time before you got emotionally invested. thats a pretty big win

    Do you have any extreme beliefs, or opinions that you might have shared with him? How much time did you spend talking about your ex?

    I've ghosted plenty of women before that word was even used. And I've been ghosted once or thrice myself so... but if you have the courage to let her know in person (not a text), I think she might appreciate it more. And if you give her a reason (NOT "It's me, not you") it might help her in the next relationship. Like if she has bad breath or her nookie smells.

    I was ghosted and and i'm still very upset and pissed by it. He was my best friend and it was a platonic relationship, but it was still the most hurtful thing a person has ever done to me. I google his name nearly every day and I'm monitoring various accounts. Hurting someone like this should be banned worldwide. It's just better to be upfront with someone if you don't want to talk to them.
