When it comes to love, not everyone is truly lucky. There are plenty of times when we fall for someone who doesn’t quite feel the same way about us. It started on the playground when the boys pushed us off the monkey bars and perpetuated all the way into our adulthood when guys straight up ghost us online (and via text).
While being left on “read” surely does hurt, there’s no better medicine for a bit of figurative pain than self-deprecating jokes about how awful we feel.

if you get ghosted after one date that’s not a full ghost it should be called a spook

Just ghosted a guy for the first time. What do you guys usually do with the body?

if you sleep with a dude that has a Pulp Fiction poster in their dorm room you cannot cry on your finsta about getting ghosted. You knew the outcome

The only respectable thing you can do when you run into someone who ghosted you is to forgive them, give them a second chance, form a relationship based on trust and mutual respect, fall deeply in love, build a life together, and leave them at the altar and never look back.

What if instead of being ghosted, they sent you text saying: it’s been fun, thanks. Take care. & never said anything else to you lmao

You guys shouldn't even bother dressing up on Halloween — you’ve been ghosting girls all year — just keep being your worthless, spooky self.

I know everyone knows about ghosting but I have a new dating disease it’s called bobbing! That’s when a person contacts you, disappears and then bobs up again over and over again!

Professor asked what “ghosted” meant and this girl said “what Brian over there did to me 3 weeks ago” it’s time for me to head on home
