Had a ghost who I really liked and was broken up over the ghosting, because getting ghosted made me feel like my feelings weren't worthy of dignity. Popped up a month later to tell me she (a transwoman) wasn't interested in a relationship, and that made me feel much better.https://twitter.com/realoverheardla/status/1189274812461600768 …

More on this... If someone likes me, I find it incredibly important to respect their feelings if they're not rude about it. Even if I don't reciprocate. People can't control who they like, and their courage in saying so deserves dignity. Ghosting is the opposite of that. Awful!

Even if they are rude about it, I still don't ghost. Went out with one dude who was a total creep (felt me up on 1st date without permission and we had never met before) and he wanted to keep dating, but I told him I wasn't interested. I hate to hurt people's feelings these days

And I feel like being honest with a person, and respecting their feelings, is less hurtful than ignoring them. They deserve to know, so they can move on. But I'm in the minority on this, for sure, and may be projecting. I get attached to people pretty quickly if I'm into them.

Anyway, dating app culture is interesting and I think the ghosting part of it is unfortunate, but overall it has been a huge help to me for getting started dating. I'm really glad it exists b/c it removes a lot of barriers for me I'd otherwise be scared of.
