Husband, Father, Software Engineer (PHP, go, etc.). Lover of Star Trek and anime.

Looking for other things to do, such as writing, acting, voice acting, but not really finding the time for it. Maybe when my kids are a little older, I'll get back on stage.

Feeling pretty bleak about the future of the United States. #NeverTrump

I've been ghosted by job recruiters, but from romantic interests? No.

I ghosted once. I still feel bad about it even though it was about eighteen years ago.

It was a cowardly thing to do, and I only did it because I wanted to avoid the discomfort of telling her that I just wasn't that into her anymore.

I shouldn't have done it, and still sometimes think I should look her up and apologize. I mean, she's married now, so I'm sure she got over it, but I still feel bad.

@danjones000 hi Dan, thanks for sharing.

I suspect most people ghost for exactly that reason: avoid discomfort. 18 years is a long time, and i hope that you feel better (instead of bad), when the time is right.

I haven't been ghosted romantically but can attest to job recruiters and people I thought were friends (met a new partner) doing so.
