Ghosting, blocking..both are used by cowards. I was writing to some people. One had mentioned deleting their account. Finally did. And sent me a nice email to explain. Warnings had been made and it finally was done. Nice manners to tell me why the account was closed. Sent an email, then closed account. I appreciated that. Now I know why the person vanished from here. Another person, seemed we got along and suddenly blocked. HUH? Oh well..their problem not mine. Why are people so rude or cowardly..or scared? How many stalkers are truly out there? Is it so hard to tell someone, hey..I am too busy to continue. Oh, sorry, we just have to many differences and I think we should quit while we are ahead. Sorry, I want to pursue a different path than you. Goodbye. It was nice while it lasted. I hear of ghosting often. It hurts people. and they wonder why. Or if something bad happened like death. I remember long ago, the leach gal of a friend said I should stop over and visit more. I told her, I just had too much going on and no time for visiting, sorry. I felt slightly guilty later because I know she was dying of cancer. But, I just told her I couldnt visit. I didnt have to tell her because I had little in common with her. Or that we saw how she had used and was using our friend and didnt think she was very nice. I couldnt be a hypocrite and visit while loathing her. Only reason we accepted her in the first place was for him. Bottom line, grow a set and bow out gracefully. Make an excuse if you have to. But, dont let them hanging wondering why.

You want the whole world act to your convenience. Not going to happen.
I have disappeared from other people's life without telling them the reason. Other people have disappeared from my life without telling me the reason. No big deal from standpoint of no one is owning anything to anyone here. If you think that someone owns you something, then you are better get prepared for disappointment.
I don't think it's the cowardly way out if it's easier for them to not see or speak or just want a peaceful life, maybe not the easy option but best option for them at that time
I think you get to a stage in life where peace is paramount

Friendships online are very fleeting. People tend to be quick to judge, quick to block, slow to change. My advice to you would be not to put much stock into friendships online as they have a way of fizzling out more often than not.
Moves like Jagger are second to being a rolling stone. A feminine icon with hair you absolutely cannot set your watch by. Or like Bowie you wouldn't rely on him to be consistent. What has status is mostly if not entirely defined by women from rock n roll onwards. One reason for less respect is that it's less likely to come to blows.
The common theme is to be rebellious without cause because you can expect people to be unexpected in the modern world. It's a sort of counterbalance to getting all the food delivered to your door.
Maybe, as they say, they're just not that into you. Was it something you said or did?
It would be nice if relationships were as firm online as they can be in the real world, but generally, they are not. For my own part, I would love to find a local friend for a RW relationship, but the local pool is slim pickins.
Be content with a positive relationship with fellow CS members, but it might be better to adjust expectations to the limits imposed by distance.
On a dating website it's a counterbalance to being inundated with offers both real and imaginary. But exactly how unreliable depends upon how long your society has been online. If it's earthlings you want you could try using a foreign language. Probably screen out the worst of modern man if you don't use English.
Mercedes_00: A coward to me is someone who runs away or someone who hides behind others to defend them
I forgot to add that ghosting or whatever on the internt has nothing to do with being a coward..All part and parcel of the internet..You have players and so on.

Not really Track. I think most sane minded people will have taken those friendships off line and done video calls...have email conversations and phone conversations. Have in mind setting up and meeting with some girls and one man lol on here for a catch up...I think it's about the mindset of the individuals ....maybe some are the big I am on here and in real life they are the most boring isolated crater ever.... If you find your bunch then get going and meet up....most of us realise life starts outside of here.
The reality of online dating is...a large number of women can get hundreds of messages from suitable men looking to date them...throw endless compliments at them and give women an inflated ego...so ignoring and blocking the vast majority of men...who message them...saves a lot of time and short listing men...on financial earnings...would be top of the vast majority of women's lists ...but that don't mean women very often choose wisely and know what's really good for them
Ghosting happens...disappointment happens and men who want to date online...should have very low expectations...always be themselves and never count on a dating happening...until the date is a reality and they are participating in it...never count your chickens before they hatch...never put the cart before the horse
Ok some women might be ghosted...by the cream of the crop men...who are high rollers...have great looks...dress like kings...have stately homes...the bodies of a greek gods and always say the right thing...but far more men...will be ghosted...than women and rejection is something...not many women face in the dating world...so it's a new experience for women...who do...but women still have it so good...cause men mostly chase and women choose

I appreciated that. Now I know why the person vanished from here.
