4. Call out your ghoster if you want to
Before you hit that block or delete button, keep in mind that it’s perfectly fine to hold them accountable for their responses, but it may not bring you the closure or emotional satisfaction that you’re really seeking. There aren’t really rules in this situation – instead, don’t rely on getting an explanation or apology. Express yourself and try to use “I Feel” statements rather than “You” statements which can stop you from sounding accusatory. Only send a message like this if they’ve ignored your follow-up.
5. Don’t be overcritical of yourself
You’re not responsible for their poor communication and lack of respect for how they treat other humans. It’s totally ok to give yourself the space to feel rejected and hurt, but remember that this is about them, not you. Ghosting happens, and it’s definitely not your fault – you just happened to get unlucky enough to meet someone that does it.
6. Focus on other activities
This is the perfect time to pick up a new hobby. Activities or meeting up with friends can help distract you from this unfortunate incident and will help you move on more quickly. Fortunately, this person showed their true colors on the first date so they didn’t have a chance to get to relationship status. You can also use this time for self-improvement, whether it’s working out or trying a new look.
