What did you do when a guy ignores you or ghosts you after a date?

At the end of the date, you say, I had a really good time, do you want to go out again? And if they say no, or don't seem enthusiastic, then you can save yourself the heartache of them ignoring you or ghosting you later. But usually you can tell if your date was happy with you or not. Anyway, remember, most dates are not with 'the one' and it's a learning experience, not a 'first date of many'.

Go on the next date. Dating is like a job interview. Hook ups are much easier.

by Anonymousreply 4February 12, 2023 8:21 PM

That's the nature of dating, to see if two people are interested in pursuing something. You have to go into dates expecting it will go nowhere and being surprised if it does.

I know it sucks, especially if you are interested in that person, but you have to change your mindset so you aren't taking it so personal.

I wouldn't get too ruffled about being ignored after a first date. It's rude of course, and not the way to let someone know you're not into them, but first dates are just that, for finding out if you're into someone. Don't go into the first time out with large expectations. That way, if it doesn't work out or go anywhere, your sense of disappointment is bearable.

It's when the ghosting happens after several dates, after you've gotten into a rhythm with someone or are led to believe it's going someplace. You may have even gotten intimate by that point. That kind of poor treatment stings. If that happens to you, more than once, you need to take stock of what you're missing in terms of assessment your partners' character and availability to you. There should be some warning signs of what's coming.

Make sure pictures you are using are accurate, flattering, but accurate. Don't use pictures from when you were younger or before you gained weight or something.

At least make you the person knows what they are getting physically before they meet you so there is no element of surprise on that front.

May? After several dates if you haven’t gotten intimate then that’s the reason you’re being ghosted. No one likes a cock tease, Mary.

Yes unless you met that guy at Bible study, in the real gay world you have gotten physical come several dates. If you guys haven't that indicates there is no sexual chemistry there, more friends hanging out then dating.

Well, I guess it depends on your definition of "several" dates. I was thinking 3 or 4 in my post, but didn't want to attach a number value to it to keep it vague and open to interpretation.

Some people take a bit longer you know :) But yeah, if it's been four dates and you haven't 'sealed the deal', then perhaps you aren't suited for each other. However, one should inform someone of their needs, or reasons for moving on. Ghosting is just tacky and plain mean, if you're still doing that after high school you have serious problems and shouldn't be going out with other adults.

Before social media, and before the word "ghosting", you had to call someone for a second date, or they had to call you. (Usually.) If you called them they would then tell you yes or no. If they said "I'll call you" and didn't, I guess that was the equivalent of ghosting.

by Anonymousreply 26February 12, 2023 9:07 PM

I agree with R7.

I think we can't use the word "ghosting" unless there is a REASONABLE EXPECTATION of another date. After one date, you aren't being ghosted if they don't respond to you. There should be ZERO expectations after that first date.

I don't care what happens when you chat online with someone, and then finally meet for that first date. That ain't romance. NONE of this momentum is an example of how it would be in a relationship with them. None of it. Plus, there is no reason to corner them on that first date to demand a second one. Jesus, let yourself have a bit of mystery about you.

Sometimes a first date shows some sparks or some sense of romance, and then they go home feeling good about it, and then they meet someone else the next day, and so on. They ain't ghosting anyone, they are going with the flow themselves. They don't owe you any kind of response, and you don't either.

If they do look to meet up with you, and you them, it will happen naturally. After many dates, then you have a chance to see what a relationship might be like together, and if then they disappear, they have indeed ghosted you, and it sucks. It happened to me once. I dated a guy for 7 months, we spent weekends at my house, went on a couple trips, met each other's friends. Everything seemed fine, and then he just completely vanished. That isn't the same as any of the situations when I had a promising first date with a guy and he also vanished.

We need to stop hanging our hats of desperation onto every dude we meet once. It isn't fair to anyone, including yourself.

If you find yourself getting close very quickly on the first date, keep up some kind of boundary for yourself during this time, and tell yourself 'I'll believe it when I see it'. Have a sense of pride in yourself not to expect anything after a first date, no matter what is said or done. Make the overture for the 2nd date, but don't take it personally if he doesn't show response to it.

by Anonymousreply 27February 12, 2023 9:09 PM

Yes even hot guys get ghosted after dates. Less often than fugs. But hot is a little bit subjective, and also hot guys can have personality issues. Also some people just bow out when attractiveness is too disparate. Blindingly attractive people can be intimidating.

Call him every hour, including in the middle of the night.

Send dozens of text messages per day.

Find out where he lives and park your car outside his house until he comes out.

Find out where he works and call him there too. Show up unannounced at his job and make a huge scene, crying and screaming hysterically.

You must be willing to go the extra mile! You must let him know that nobody will ever love him as much as you!

That's all men want, really, is just to know that they're loved.

Of course, if none of this works and he continues to resist, you must end his life, as he will be better off not living than living without you. Killing him will be the ultimate act of love, really.

I've been on the receiving end of rejection, and also had to let someone down after a date or trial get-together. I've always responded with an explanation, it takes 20 seconds to type out a simple text and try to say something nice to let them know you're moving on elsewhere and want to let them down easy.

"I had a nice time, you're a good person but I'm not interested in seeing anyone right now or getting involved" or something along those lines usually cushions hard feelings, if there are any. I know I'd expect that, if the positions were reversed. Treating others as you'd want to be used to be de rigueur in social settings. Not so much anymore, to our collective detriment imo.

by Anonymousreply 35February 12, 2023 9:36 PM

You're very very aggressive here on the DL. You have strong opinions and share them in a way that can come across as bullying. Certainly black and white thinking. A bit of a know it all. Strong opinions are fine. Bullying isn't.

You seem like, as they kids say, a lot.

I know that might just be your online DL persona and your real life persona might be different. But on the off chance it's not? I'd suggest working on that. Simple fact is most people don't enjoy being around that type. It's stressful.

Made worse because every single person I know who has that sort of personality? Who names calls, rants and raves, obsessively texts someone for two weeks after only one date? They are ironically most sensitive people in the world. Everything offends them, everything hurts their feelings, even as they fling insults and missives without a care in the world

Maybe just learn to chill a bit? Let life come to you.

IMO, not a good explanation. Why even go out on a "first date" if you're not interested in seeing anyone right now.

by Anonymousreply 38February 12, 2023 9:49 PM

The other extreme would involve people getting married to the first person they dated.

Dating is for finding out whether you like someone or not. If there's no chemistry, what's the sense of a 2nd date.

What is the alternative? Endless texting before a meet-up? Better to meet, face-to-face, and see what that person is like.

It's not so much an explanation, r38, as a generalized, loosely worded let-them-down-gently text to let someone know you're not going to have a 2nd date with them, at least not at the moment. Sometimes you don't know what you want (or don't want) until you meet face to face and spend time with a person. Then you make a decision to move on, and let them know that's the deal.

The recent impersonal trends of swiping all over the place on apps and trying to figure out if you like someone from a photo or series of short texts has upended the way we relate to each other, and not in a good way. People will always need to meet in-person to make a real decision on a connection (or not).

It's like my grandmother used to say, "It takes two people to get together, but only one needs to decide to end it". You can both decide to get together on a date or meeting, but if one isn't feeling it, that's kind of it. Having a crush, or one-way feelings for someone doesn't entitle to further face time with them.

I still maintain, however, that ghosting is bad manners and poor taste. A simple brief, 20 second response to someone you had a date with (if they ask), letting them know it isn't going anyplace, is not a big burden. And if it is, you need to reconsider if you should be out there interacting with others.

Hey r47, it's better than nothing!

DarkGemLord - you are a sensitive soul, and have better manners than most out there. That is both an advantage to you, and a curse. Others are not as decent as you are and think it's ok to justify rudeness. I understand that if the ghosting thing's happened to you before, that you've developed sensitized feelings about it. It stings! Even tough guys I know (and girls) get their feelings hurt.

Don't dwell on it for ages. Tell yourself, "glad to have dodged that bullet" and give yourself time to calm down. After days or weeks you'll feel better gradually. Get back on that (dating) horse - literally - and try again. You have to. The snitty actions of one person can't ruin you forever - you'll miss out on the person you are meant to couple up with, while you're in a funk.

Think of all the other big dicks in the sea out there.

That said, how can you read through this thread and not have the self-awareness to understand why many men run from you? Not trying to be mean. I'm really not. But you went on ONE DATE and you're heartbroken? That is a huge red flag and I am 100% sure Big Dick Guy sensed something was off or not quite right.

DGL so you have known him for a while, since 2020, although you didn't meet until the date, correct? I think that's my understanding.

Was the communication between you before the meet-up platonic, or was it deeper than that? How close were you to this guy. Was there any sexting that went on. I guess it clarifies things a bit, knowing you had some kind of friendship before the date and ghosting, put things in a clearer light. I could see where you might feel the intense disappointment you now have, if you had expectations going into the meeting based on prior interactions.

OP, it's ridiculous to say: "I have no self-control," "I can't do this," "I can't do that." It's a cop-out. You sound like you're just seeking validation to keep on doing what you're doing. See a therapist.

Obviously, you went for someone that is out of your league.

No harm in shooting your shot, but you should have known your odds were slim to none.

When you say you wouldn't be able to control yourself from messaging one guy who ghosted you, so you'll avoid all chance of meeting a better guy. That's fucked up.

DGL, if you were pals for a while, then went a couple of years without speaking after a mild disagreement, chances are you may hear from this guy again in the future. If he knows you were ok with hearing from him after a long break, and then made plans to go out with him, that may have led him to believe you're ok with him dropping in and out of contact.

Sounds to me like this guy is a bit come and go, in terms of communication.

OP - ask yourself why you want to be in a relationship. What will it solve? Are you trying to solve something? Because people can tell right away when there are major problems in your life that they definitely don't want to be a part of. Take care of the major issues in your life first. A boyfriend isn't going to solve anything nor should they. Once you have a handle on those things, you will see change around you. People will be asking you out and will want to be a part of your life.

R174 Yes, you're right. Ghosting is rude and wrong. Anyone should have enough emotional maturity to properly end things without being weird or unfriendly. However, if you're continually doing something and getting the same results you've got to ask yourself why. I think maybe people are afraid to give you feedback because you may come across and defensive and very sensitive (if your online persona is the same as your offline persona).

I don't know if this was the case with this man -- but some people are afraid of any kind of remote confrontation, so they have a fake facade or front. Sometimes subconsciously, so they don't even reailze they're leading people on.

Often, people who were abused as children - like slapped if they disagreed with their mother -- they develop an instinctive fear of negative reactions, so they tap dance, lie, smile, pretend to care (like let's meet again even though I've done these things you've listed -- I mean that's insane but that's an instinctive people-pleaser -- got to make it right or I'll just die (inner thought of fight/flight.

Well, that's a ramble -- but that's me, so I know what goes on in the frightened mind of a people-pleaser due to abuse.

It's a possibility anyway. Otherwise, why not just say, "Fuck off."

[quote]the consensus is, is that the vast majority of men of all sexual orientations are emotionally unavailable for all aspects of life be it friendships, relationships, or work relationships. And this is creating massive problems worldwide and increasing male violence, depression, ghosting, and male suicide.

I totally believe and agree with this. There's a real problem with young men out there, of all orientations and backgrounds. They just aren't progressing normally, socially. The question is, what can be done about it, what can reverse it? Seriously asking.

I guess an analysis of a root cause might give an answer. Is it the rise of feminism, of female empowerment? I'm not against this, the opposite, but some males have had a hard time dealing with it. Women now make up half the work force, they make up more than half of 4-year college attendees. Is it the sharp rise of availability of internet porn? We've had an entire generation raised on this, it's had an impact and imo not a fully positive one in terms of socialization and personal relationship skills.

We've spent so much time in recent years advocating for girls, worried about their growth, their social development, levelling the fields for them. This is all good, make no mistake - but what about some kind of parallel movement for boys? In terms of mental and social health.

The second I saw DarkMingeLord’s irrationally extreme hatred on DL of any gay-identified man who dares to experiment sexually with a woman, and his steadfast characterization of that behavior as someone inherently “homophobic,” I knew he was fucking nuts.

It’s very telling that in his supposed consultations with “5 therapists”, not a single one seems to have mentioned a single thing about him (the patient/client!!). Instead they all supposedly gave him some trite observation of male emotional unavailability - not a single thing about what HE could do in his own life to e.g. possibly avoid these scenarios in the future. Yeah, I’m sure that was the takeaway from each therapy consult. 🙄 the lack of self-awareness (to say the least) is mind-numbing.

DARKMINGELORD's defenders here must not be aware of all of his obsessions.

He rants incoherently about many DL topics:

- Hates women and thinks they get away with everything. He's NOT the same poster as the one making all of the threads lately unless it's a separate account. Women should be blamed for everything.

- Anti-USA, anti-Biden, PRO-TRUMP. 'Nuff said.

- HATES Trans thoroughly, which is why he supports Right Wing talking points and tactics.

- Main obsession is G4P in gay porn, gay men who do scenes with women, thinks all gay porn performers are secret bisexuals out to scam real gay men.

- Did I mention PRO-Trump and Right Wing talking points, even though he is Australian?

Why are you defending this loser? He ADMITTED to several crimes related to stalking this guy who wasn't into him.

Regarding the comments at R191, R200 and others: They are being flippant because they know that Darkmingelord is none other than D@vidaPooShoes, our resident Bellagio Loon. Darkminge has many of PS's tells: The hatred of bisexuals and transes, the writing of long-winded ESTs where no advice, professional or not, can adequately address her pain; the logorrhea, the unceasing pointless commentary that says nothing about anything; the interest in the occult.

Linked is another thread with more of DarkMinge's postings (from a prior blocked iteration of the screenname), and much discussion about her true identity, which at least a few respondents believe to be D@vida.
