Why do people ghost?

I had 2 separate dates with 2 guys in the last while, we had texted for a bit b4 meeting up, seem to get on... had the date & then i pretty much got ghosted after... if they aren't interested i'm ok with that but its just plain rude not to actually say they aren't interested!

Whats the point? Taken the attitude that if they can't be honest they aren't worth dating!

The nature of online dating is meeting strangers and finding out very quickly that you might not be a good match. In cases like that it would be polite and proper to tell the person that you aren’t interested but do you really owe them that? It’s easier to ghost than be polite. Most people move on with life and are not offended.

@Muthafukajones its happened too many times now so not offended but if they can't be honest it just shows their character

@BondGirl84 sometimes women can be too upfront about what they want. This puts men off. Dating is about observing another person and seeing how they are.

I learn a lot about a new woman by going to a busy restaurant or bar and waiting to be seated. Tons of information is gained from that experience. Just an example.
