The road to modern love and relationships is never linear. And, since closures are often tougher to attain than imagined, one is left with little choice than to say hello to ghosting a phenomenon that's becoming widely commonplace among young millennials who are entangled in cases of love gone horribly wrong.
"She came on too strong and was constantly telling me how she visualised me in a cleanshaven look on our first date as we began to chat on WhatsApp.
A couple of chats later, she openly expressed her desire to have something serious even before we met," reveals *Nihar Roy, a Pune-based communications professional.
"These demands were an instant turn-off and I decided to block her to avoid the chaos and drama that would've occurred had I confronted her," he adds.
In a similar vein,* Rahul Gupta, a queer creative professional, reveals how ghosting is often the only recourse when things begin to get uncomfortable, especially when a connection hasn't been built. "Dating can get dirty when you're meeting many people and things are usually shrouded in secrecy. I had no choice but to cancel a guy because he kept asking me how big I was even before we met." While Gupta doesn't suggest ghosting as a solution, he reiterates how ghosting is often perceived as one of the biggest signs to display clear disinterest without engaging in full-blown fights.
