You can either tell them why - perhaps because you’re looking for someone who’s more into outdoor activities, such as skiing or hiking - or simply say that you didn’t feel the connection, but wish them the best, Spira says. “The best way of doing this without hurting someone’s feelings is to let them know that you didn’t think you were a fit,” she adds. “While it’s easier to let the date fade into a one-and-done date with no explanation, ghosting is the coward’s way out, and avoids a confrontation or a texting exchange that can become uncomfortable.” Instead, she says that if you have no intention of seeing someone again - and they were kind enough to take time out of their schedule to drive, Uber, or find their way to meet you - you should always take the high road and let the person know that you’re not a match. “ Ghosting has become not just a phenomenon in the dating world, but it’s become a growing epidemic - and when it happens to you, it stings,” Julie Spira, founder of Cyber-Dating Expert, tells Bustle. Although it’s not easy to tell someone you’re not interested in them - especially if they’re interested in you - there are ways to go about doing so that may not be as abrupt and hurtful as ghosting. Or maybe the person just lost their phone and the ability to contact you? If you’re on the other end of things, however, you may wonder what to say instead of ghosting someone. If you’re on the receiving end, you may wonder if you did something wrong. Ghosting, disappearing on someone without a trace (or goodbye text or email or phone call), is sometimes the default way to end things with someone you’ve been seeing casually or went on a date with.
