The Ghosting Phenomenon: What is it?
Ghosting refers to the act of suddenly cutting off all communication with someone without any explanation. In the context of online dating, it's when someone you've been chatting with or even dating suddenly disappears from your life without a trace. From my experience, it's a trend that's been on the rise with the advent of online dating platforms.
Why is Ghosting Easier in Online Dating?
The digital landscape has made it easier for people to ghost others. The anonymity and lack of face-to-face interaction in online dating can make ghosting seem like an easy way out of uncomfortable situations. From what I have observed, it's often used as a way to avoid confrontation or difficult conversations.
