how should you 'react' or 'deal' with the occasions where you're ghosted
i don't like using that word, i only use it so people will know what i mean...i don't like anything modern, even using modern words, but thought it was required here, since most users here are the young generation.
anyhow, ghosting, it's happened to me a few times in the past from women, but it never gets easier to deal with.....a few weeks ago, i got to messaging some woman around about my age, i'm late 40s, she was in the same age range, i messaged her after commenting with her on her posts, initially she was receptive and friendly and showed an interest in my PMs, she sent me a follow up message telling me a bit about herself, where she's from etc....i sent her a reply........then that's it................she never replied back again?
maybe once more i was expecting too much, but i felt a bit annoyed about that, and also thought she was exhibiting ' weak' behaviour and when i thought more on that, i grew more angry....but i never responded back to her and just moved on, a lesson learned i suppose.
but in all seriousness, how should you deal with this when it happens? because it doesn't get easier, it triggers my emotions really, mainly anger.
