5 REASONS YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN GHOSTED AFTER A FIRST DATE
One of the worst emotions in the world is being ghosted. The individual gets up and leaves your life, leaving you to wonder what you did to make them do that. If you were ghosted after a first date, it's even worse!
So you went on a date, had a great time, and were eager to see them again. You also believed that the emotion was shared.
However, despite sending them a few SMS, you receive no answer. Were conditions that bad? Why didn't they ever let you know they didn't like you?
They ghosted you, why? Here are five potential causes and remedial measures.
01. They are cheating on their significant other
The situation: They claimed to be unmarried and open to dating. It turns out that just the first part of the statement was accurate. You were only ever intended to be the man or lady they had on the side. Maybe their significant other learned. Or their guilt had taken over their minds.
Put it in perspective by asking yourself if you truly want to be associated with someone who is prepared to end their marriage or long-term relationship. It would only be a matter of time before they replaced you with someone else if they were willing to consider leaving their partner for you.
02. They weren’t attracted to you
It might be challenging to understand that someone would ghost us if they didn't find us attractive enough. After all, they felt you were beautiful enough based on your images to speak with and even meet, but when they really saw you in person, they were simply... "meh."
To put everything into perspective, you should know that, barring supermodel status, not everyone will lust for you. In the same way, you may probably remember instances in which someone thought you were hot stuff but you didn't think them attractive. Simply proceed, exercise patience, and keep trying.
03. You didn’t have the right personality
To be clear, this does not imply that you are uninteresting or rude. It's just that they feel they get along better with particular personalities. Would it have been preferable if they had given you criticism so you could become better the next time you go on a date? Sure. However, the main reason they ghosted you is that they lack the maturity to be honest with you.
How to put things into perspective: Are you really missing out on anything if they don't think you two are compatible? In our opinion, no. Who would want to be with someone who acts the way he/she does, in addition?
04. They want to avoid confrontation
Rejection hurts, there's no denying it, and not everyone takes it well. Therefore, it seems sense that the one who is rejecting would not want to be made to feel bad, worst-case scenario, or threatened. They believe there is no use in corresponding with you because they have no interest in meeting you again.
How to view it realistically - Not everyone who ghosts you does it with malice in mind. Simply put, they would like to avoid having to tell you directly that they aren't interested because they believe doing so will hurt much more.
05. There’s a lot going on in their lives
Not all ghosting incidents are deliberate. After your first date, if they haven't been in touch with you, it could not even be about you. Family emergencies, personal catastrophes, and other unforeseen circumstances do occur. So it makes sense that even if they loved visiting you, you weren't their top priority at the moment.
How to view it realistically - Your appearance, behavior, or even their views may have anything to do with them leaving in this particular circumstance. People who are going through a tough period either need some time alone to reflect or simply want a small, close group of relatives and friends to support them. Who knows; if they manage to get through it, they could contact you again. Don't let yourself develop a false feeling of optimism, though, of course. This is only one possibility for why they could have ghosted you.
