I see it as ill mannered. It happens on line, it happens in real life and it happens in families. I was raised with manners. You say what you mean and mean what you say. If you dont really like that co-worker, you politely turn them down for that drink or coffee or dinner. Male or female. You dont go and then play avoid them at the break room.
I reply to anyone who messages me on here. I inform them on here only for forums and pen pals and not dating. Often I get a thank you in return. I feel if someone takes the time to message me, manners dictate I return a reply even if negative. Or even if they read my profile and are an idiot who cant comprehend. Even if a boy looking for a free ride.
The failings of society this century is the lack of common courtesy and manners. Kids run wild in a store and wreck stuff. People block an aisle and refuse to move when you say excuse me. Road rage is running rampant. People steal parking slots, double park or in handy capped spots, let doors slam in people faces and outright attack each other over trivial stuff.
The story on media is it is due to the lock down. No. It is due to the entitlement notions foisted over the years. Dont have, steal it. Dont like them, shoot them.
I just saw some blacks on TV that beat on a woman with a walker and then stole it even!doh People cant even walk down a street without someone thinking it is their due to do whatever they feel like.
The old idea with ghosting is how would they feel if the shoe was on the other foot.scold dunno

I am not here to make friends! I'm here to meet a women who suits me and are in suitable place. When I after a few mails I try to explain that for what ever reason I am not romantically interested I get different reactions. The reactions show me in a way also their personality. Not that it matters since I have my agenda. I think I have answered all who contacted me even scammers. It is common courtesy and if someone get more angry from rejection then getting ignored, I think that is not normal. I don't know what ghosting is?

I guess ghosting is when two people are friends and one just ceases to reply. Maybe block calls or avoids the other person. No explanation, no good bye..just falls off the face of the earth.
Manner say try to break the tie. Only resort to rude behavior if the other person does and just refuses to take the hint. Or heavy hints.
I told one guy he had til I reached my door and my gun to get out of my driveway. He took THAT hint.laugh

Orzzz: 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.
Ok thanks! It happened to me in real life. A friend from Kenya that I had known for more then 20 years disapeared after I started a company for him with my money in Estonia. After 18 months thinking he was dead or in prison I get a sms New Years ewe about me hurting him with something I said. I didn't reply because that company cost me a lot of money and hassle. So now I am ghosting him I guess.

Packersbabe1: I don’t really put much into it, if they stop sending
messages, I’m ok with it cause that’s let me know
they no longer want to chat
Amen, a sensible and well-adjusted reaction.
