I met this girl a couple weeks ago at a birthday party. She wouldn’t leave me alone the entire night, basically stuck to my hip. She seemed cool but I wasn’t really interested, since I’ve always felt that meeting people at parties is a recipe for failure (which turned out to be the case).
She asked for my Instagram and I didn’t give it to her since I don’t really use social media, and I moved on. A week later my friends guilted me into at least texting her to say thank you for hosting the party, so I did. We ended up talking for about a week after that, with a couple of really fun days where the conversation flowed naturally, but I was deep in final exams and pretty stressed throughout.
Eventually I started noticing her responses getting slower and drier. I asked if she wanted to hang out and she replied after a day saying it sounded fun but she didn’t have her car. I took that as her wanting me to come to her, which was fine, and let her know that. Three days went by with no response.
I ended up sending her a message saying “hey, I’m taking the silence as your answer, no need to respond. I appreciate your support during my exams, I hope yours go well and that you have a great summer.” And left it there.
I’ve never really dealt with ghosting but I feel “ghosting them back” is stupid and leaves things too open ended for my liking.
