Ghosting is a basic failure of responsibility or commitment.

This is why we should be careful in starting a new dynamic. Don't be so quick to "jump into the sack". Take it slow, evaluate. Some of the best advise I've ever heard: "Watch how the other person treats waiters and staff -- because that's how you'll be treated within 6 months."

It's the best advice I can give. Watch, listen and learn. If you partner-to-be is dismissive of others, it won't be long until he or she is dismissive to you. This applies to ghosting, rudeness, and a host of other unpleasant behaviors.

Unless you're planning on dying next week, you have time to wait it out, watch, listen and learn before you get hurt. icon_smile.gif

Managing expectations

I had no intention of not messaging you, I tried to explain a facet of my personality. I did not expect hostility and a block. I expected a conversation when I awoke. It’s less about ghosting, more about managing expectations.

My heart goes out to you. This can be extremely hurtful. The closer you were to that person the harder it is. Many hugs.

Thank you all very much for the advice. I really needed to hear alot of what you all were saying. I'm new to this lifestyle trying to learn he knew I was new and took me on to do this to me. so in the back of my head I keep wondering did I do something wrong and if I did it would really be great to know so I can learn and grow from it. Thanks again

Ghosting is not nice, no one should have to suffer it, but as stated by all its a fact if life, some people just aren't nice (or respectful) . I disagree with the fact people have busy jobs, a message takes seconds to send and will let the person "you supposedly care about" know you are going to be busy for a while (I have an agreement if something comes up like that a single word(like a safeword) is used to say please wait I will get back to you when I am able to) . I realise people have things happen in life and that consumes there focus (deaths, accidents, etc but not work. IMO) for a period, but unless that happens and they loose thier phone they have a reminder on the phone the message.

It dose seem to happen a lot hun, i find it hard myself I like honesty and don’t think it’s all that hard to say it’s not working especially if you are looking for one dom and end up waiting weeks for a reply.
Don’t take it to heart and I hope you find your special Dom sooner rather then later and can leave the confusion and heartache at the door, xxxx

Ghosting sucks, I've definitely been on the receiving end. But to be honest I've probably unintentionally ghosted people as well. I feel like the severity of the "crime" depends on how long you've known them. If you're talking for months and they disappear that's one thing; someone you've built a connection with deserves better.

But - for instance - if I have a few new messages/ conversations I'm trying to keep up, and I have a busy week and suddenly realize I haven't responded in a while, it can feel like so much work to go into each one and put a heartfelt response...explain my absence..the easy but definitely shameful choice is to just let them fall away. I can't say I'm proud of it. (Not running away from confrontation is something I'm working on).

I would take everything with a grain of salt and if someone stops responding just let them go and move to a new person. No sense stressing over their reasons why, it won't change anything.

The internet makes it so much easier to feel in contact with a bunch of new people but it also lifts the bar of how much communication we expect off the bat. It can definitely be overwhelming and I think it's about trying to balance politeness with your own needs and wants.
