I was ghosted 😢

I had crush on a younger guy 2 years ago. It's a long story but i put it short. He felt that i liked him and we exchanged gazes. I was excited seeing him among friends. But one day he suddenly disappeared. He stopped coming to friends meeting. I was upset and couldn't understand what happened. From time to time i heard from friends about him. I send him birthday card and he wrote me little thanks with sms. I wrote him "never mind" but he didn't follow conversation through. Then after 2 years I finally saw him on vacation with friends. We spend some days together, met and went to restaurants and the beach. He seemed polite and friendly. I decided to reach out to him online after vacation because my feelings for him resurfaced. He answered and we've been chatting about dishes and vacation we've been together. But soon i realized he gives only one word replies and did not show interest back. I pursued anyway. I send him cute valentines card and he only said "thank you", not sending me anything back. I started panic because i felt that he didn't like me back but our gazes and flirty looks in person told me otherwise. Then i asked him for a picture of him he said "ok" but didn't send any. After that he ghosted me. I reached out more times asking why he didn't write back but got no answer. Then i gave up. Four months passed. I didn't hear a word from him. Through mutual friend i tried to ask how he was doing and if he wanted contact again, she said he's OK with it. I reached out to him again asking if we can be friends again but he only said "ok" as usual and ghosted me. I got not only frustrated but angry and started lashing out at mutual friends telling them what an arrogant guy my crush was. They didn't want to believe me. Even as i was talking bad behind his back he still didn't reply. Now i calmed down and accepted situation.

Don't let ghosting get you down, speak up to family, friends and try to confront your ghoster. You don't deserve that kind of emotional abuse. Speak up to people and don't be silent 👊‼‼‼

How do you know that he was aware that you liked him?

I think your opening line says a lot:

I had crush on a younger guy 2 years ago.
(Emphasis added.)

If you re-read it with THAT in mind, it seems a lot less "obvious" that he was EVER "into you".

On that vacation, he probably didn't mind having an activity partner, but we don't know any of this from his side, do we?

I think confronting him for ghosting you could lead to you really embarrassing yourself. For interest, what if he were to say yes, you seemed to stare at him, which made him feel uncomfortable (and why he stopped going to the meetings of the "friends"), then he was suddenly with you on vacation...so he tried to be polite, but just talked about dishes and vacation...and you still tried to turn it into something, etc.
The flirty gazes (as you call it) were likely because you kept looking at him. I’ve been caught doing that before. Guys like it if you’re pretty but without any connection it gets boring.

Perhaps you need to take a hint and leave him alone.. did you actually date or did he just look at you once? You might be taking things too far and he’s not interested.. personally i don't think a lady should chase younger guys but that’s just my opinion

You dragged that one out a long time. If he was interested he would be trying to reach you. Let it go.
Please move on and stop wasting valuable time. The guy is just not into you.

The gonads of males produce 14 times more libidinous hormones than those of females of the same age, and for both sexes 1% less each year.
Some men are compulsive flirts: it means nothing.
Some men are sex addicts and it still means nothing.

So if the man isn't actively seeking the woman's company as a whole person, that's always an automatic no.
@hartfire Most modern males now have much more lower testosterone than males of our ages, I blame the phytoestrogens in soy and other nut "milks" they drink in their chai lattes from starbucks, and yes, it's a real thing...

Ngl it's kinda embarrassing how thirsty you were and how uninterested he was the entire time

You “sended” and they didn’t “wanted” to?

Perhaps stronger English skills would help you.

@RedBaron yes it's not my mother language ☹
RedBaron · M
@Oceanescape OK. Understood. Any second language can be hard to master.
Sounds to me he prefers guys, I wouldn't waste any more time. In my mid 20's I fell hard for a younger woman, but she was always saying why wasn't Jack paying her any notice? Turned out Jack was really Jaqueline, who was into guys, the woman I liked was into other women.
@Oceanescape I'm not outright implying he is gay, but, his reactions would make me suspicious.
Oceanescape · 41-45, F
@NativePortlander1970 yes his reactions are not normal for a healthy young man, maybe he's emotionally closed off, narcissistic or has other disorders because Noone replied ever with one word to me
@Oceanescape I am so very sorry, maybe You dodged a major bullet.
