I'm not a overly clingy girl, I don't doodle a guys names in my notebook for smiling at me, I don't even obsess over a guy I had sex with once who never called me again....but then this guy will start constantly txting me and flirting with me and asking me to hang out and fool around....and then you disappear again...until you want more....why do you give me the impression you like me than blow me off?? What are you so afraid of??

    - Scared of appearing as an overly clingy man
    - Just not that into you, but finds you OK and perhaps still up for some fun (and maybe more)

    Sad to say he wants sex and that is it.
  • Sounds like a typical booty call situation

    In my head, ghost means you were in a relationship and instead of breaking up with you, he disappears...

    I second the fact that this sounds like you're a booty call and if you want it to stop, you've got to be blunt and say put up or shut up. As long as you are receptive to it, it'll keep happening.

    I agree with the other posters... if you don't want to be treated that way you just need to end it.

    Senior year of high school, my old best friend dated a guy for about a month before he ghosted on her. Wouldn't answer his phone, didn't come to the door at his house, nothing. Then one day he came back, saying he was "scared." Bulls**t. I call that a dumbass. (can you tell i'm pissed today lol?) Anyway, we're seniors in college and they're still dating. I'm no longer great friends with my old best friend because of it.

    I don't ghost, but I do have a job that requires me to travel and/or focus on the work for periods of time.

    But I have known my friends to do this. Usually, it is because they were spooked by the speed things were happening.

    And hopefully you tell the girl the truth rather than just not calling!! Ghosting is different than being unavailable!

    Yes, I do. Usually telling them early on that I'm hard to date and not in a hurry.
