    i don't think you can grow older and better as a human until you've done it and had it done to you at least once.

    I've done it, but never had it done to me. Does that mean I haven't grown to my full potential as a human?!

    Or maybe you didn't realize it because you ghosted each other at the same time...

    That's a whole lot of mutual not caring. : (

    But sometimes it's better that way.

    Just realized I'm the process of ghosting someone...
    Kind of feel guilty now... especially since the person is nice, I just don't have anything in common with them.

    I have never ghosted anyone. I have told them, "Woman, I am done with you.

    My worst episode was I met this girl in the city. She and I bonded well and she took me to her apartment in the upper west side. She was so put together - elementary school teacher, works with kids, fake blonde, into bikram yoga and the idiot that I was.... the sex was packing in every time I went there. Life was good. After 5 weeks, she cited she would love to get away from the city and live in westchester and we had more sex.

    I went home on Sunday and I noticed these little blisters on my lips. And 3 days later, a full cold sores attack. She offered to come to Connecticut and take care of me. But I was angry and bitter and bid her goodbye and thanked the heavens that I used condoms. But then condoms don't prevent kissing transfers. Luckily it was just type 1 cold sores and over the years I have developed resistance to them.

    I still get them once every 2 years and they remind me of her. What a way to leave a permanent effect and legacy.

    I think of her from time to time... If not for that thing, I may have ended up with her forever.

    its the gift that keeps on giving.

    PSA- all ya'll go get tested if you haven't lately.
    Women are very honest nowadays. Another case, the girl said she had type 2 and she gracefully accepted my taking to my heels. I was actually going to do it with her but my brother talked sense into me because I asked him for advice in my extremity. He said, "if you think with your dick brains, you will have no dick and your brains will be very sorry".

    But this other one just kept mum and the she was like.... I am so sorry, a guy gave it to me three years ago but I have never infected anyone and she was in tears... at least they weren't crocodile tears.

    This is why I force everyone to get tested. Also helps with weeding out the duds.

    no sympy for her. if that happened to me i'd at least bust her windshield out or try to get her in trouble at her work or something.
    Think I have heard people suing for damages if they pass STD's.

    they have to disclose that information before being intimate with someone. If they don't, you could definitely sue them

    much dependent on whether you can afford the lawyer, and whether they have any assets worth suing for.

    PSA #2- wrap it up ya'll.

    and they most likely won't. so again, wrap it up y'all.

    I would like to go on official Internet record for wanting to create a clever new term for: "fear of being ghosted". Runs off to urban dictionary....

    More specific than this- and easier to spell, ya'll:

    Been on both ends of this. It's a crappy way to end things with anyone. After I was the ghoster I eventually got back in touch and apologized for it. I won't do that again. If I don't want to talk to you anymore I'll tell you so.

    Like a man. Boom. (Respect)

    Ghosting is shiity. Be a grown up and just tell them you can't stand them anymore. It doesn't work for me, I'll stalk your *kitten*. :smile:

    I never have or will ghost someone & I disagree with those, that say that you; don't owe them anything. We all owe each other decency. I had been ghosted by 2 people, on dating websites. The odd thing is that, they each later messaged me again; a month or months later. The 1st guy that ghosted me, I cut him off completely & let him know why. The 2nd I knew was shy, so I let it slide but he did it a 2nd time & so I just told him to "take care, good luck & goodbye", whereas the 1st time; I didn't.

    Funny how different expressions mean different things across the world :-) "Ghosting" in Glasgow Scotland means to take a dump in the toilet, but it glides through the water making no sound, and when you turn around there not a trace of it in the toilet bowl :-) Hence the often heard expression in Glasgow " I just did a ghosty" :-)

    That's what I was thinking yesterday, I am from Glasgow obviously lol

    I don't agree with it either it shouldn't be your first port of call, but I think people saying you don't owe them anything, are probably referring to troublesome individuals who they want nothing to do with. And I also believe some folk don't know how to handle breaking off a friendship so they get desperate just to be rid of that person.
    I was a lot younger when I 'ghosted' someone that's why I'm choosy about who I let into my life now, save myself from having to cut people off either by ghosting or hurting thier feelings by telling them straight...it's complicated lol

    Lol reminds me of the ghosters that send 1 am text messages like, "hey you" aka "Spread them thighs I want sex".
