Ghosting, a prevalent practice in modern dating, refers to the sudden disappearance of one party after initial dates without explanation. Therapist Karli Kucko suggests this behavior arises from the plethora of choices on dating apps, making it easy for individuals to disengage when interest fades. Many prefer to avoid confrontational discussions about their lack of interest, opting instead to cease communication. While ghosting is generally criticized, Kucko notes there may be instances where it is justified, particularly when the other party is not displaying respectful communication.
Ghosting someone tonight, swipe on someone new tomorrow. Confrontation is avoided, leading to a pattern of disappearing when interest wanes.
Ghosting to avoid conflict can be a way to conserve energy, especially with strangers who aren't demonstrating respectful communication.
