Ghosted after 5 months while we were making plans
I (26F) have been talking to and going on weekly dates with a guy (28M) for 5 months. Throughout that time we were exclusive. Recently we both got really busy and hadn’t seen each other for a while. I told him that if he wasn’t interested anymore that’s totally fine I’d just like him to be honest and we can just end it there but he reassured me that he was still interested multiple times so I kept talking to him. Our most recent text conversation was him asking me when I was free and I replied telling him what days I was available and he hasn’t replied since. That was 2 weeks ago. I’m confused why he didn’t take the easy out I gave him and insisted we still try to make plans just to ghost me after I told him when I was free. I’ve never been ghosted before by someone I’ve been on more than 1 date with and it’s so brutal. I don’t understand why people do this instead of just ending it properly.
