If you’ve been ghosted before, you know EXACTLY what it means. But if you’re not sure, we’re about to provide you with the rundown. First, ghosting is basically what happens when you’re dating someone---sadly, you might even be in a relationship with them---and without any clear heads up, they stop communicating with you. It sucks. It also happens. A LOT.

And just why do people do this so-called “ghosting” in the first place? Well, when they feel like you’re doing the most (i.e., running way ahead of them in the relationship) or they’re not feeling you but they don’t want to hurt your feelings or they’re just immature jerks, this may be why they take on this approach. They might tell themselves that it’s a “nicer” way to handle things than simply saying “I don’t think this is going to work out” but personally? We think it’s pretty cowardly and a way to put some bad karma out into the atmosphere. (Remember that before you plan on ghosting someone! Check out the Cosmo piece here.)

Keeping all of this in mind, what are some of the signs that a man is about to “get ghost” on you? If these things are happening, hey, don’t shoot the messenger. Take it for what it is, girl and move on.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
