No, it’s the cowardly, immature way. Just tell him that you’re no longer interested. That’s it. Who knows? That could lead to a conversation as why he seems distant.
It's easier to just ghost people but I think it's rude. Just send a simple text that says you're not interested in seeing him anymore. I think ghosting creates stalking. They want closure so they try looking for you.
there's sooooooo many more mature and respectful ways to communicate why choose the most immature of them all.
If your ok with burning bridges just make sure it won't come back to bite you in the ass
Another judging interest by text behavior. So short sighted.
I think being honest is more polite. Ghosting is pretty rude.
Ghosting should be reserved for weirdos that won't leave you alone
Ghosting is better than haunting.
It isn't too elegant, but the message is clear enough.
Confront him so there would be no guilt and confusion
My heart wants to kick and punch such person. This is a very disrespectful way of telling someone that you are not interested. Being straightword will save time and effort.
Tell him the truth. It’s more polite and it’s the right thing to do. Don’t ghost him.
It's definitely easier but that depends if you wanna be confrontational or not about it
Ghosting is for cowards that don't know how to use their words. Just say what you need to say, with clarity. There's nothing polite about ghosting.
Sometimes it is the easiest option.
Easiest. Not best
That’s not polite that’s evil total disrespect mean as hell treatment and what goes around comes around
Hell no bich. Tell the motherfudger you hate them and no longer wanna talk to their sorry ass. Clean break is always best.
If he's dating you, he's interested.
And ghosting is disgusting.
Let the dude down gently. In text since you only met once. Wait you texted and met but never called?
Depending on what your definition of “Bare Minimum “ might be. Talk or sex? Just stop initiating contact with him and he will probably fade away.
I have to agree, ghosting is the bare minimum way to end things. The proper way to do it is to write him and tell him. People will respect you more for it.
No it's one of the most damaging. Stop playing mind games. Be open and honest
