Then you realize that answer is never going to come.

First comes confusion: Did they really ghost me?

And then there will be times when you dont know what the hell happened.

One moment everything is fine and you two are (what felt like) mutually happy with one another.

Next comes denial: No, they didnt ghost me.

Theyre probably just busy.

Enter, anger: Screw this.

I dont need that (insert your choice of expletive here).

How dare they?!

The nerve they have to disregard basic human decency and answer you is baffling.

It has little to do with the rejection, and everything to do with their method of rejecting you.

They couldnt just send a, Hey, I dont think this is working out, text?

They couldnt cushion the blow with a, I think youre a great person, but… line?

They couldnt even apologize for attempting to ghost you and assure you that youre not bad-shit crazy?

The anger is going to mess with your head.

You might swear off dating.

Finally, you accept what happened and move on.

You just have to whether your storm of emotions and keep the faith that better things lie ahead.

There will come a point in time when it dawns on you that you deserve better.
