Rejection is hard- but ghosting is by far the worst, most annoying, most INFURIATING form of rejection by far. It leaves you to wonder what you did wrong, what they must really think of you and what exactly happened. Even for the stupidest of reasons.

Recently this cute guy I like, out of the blue, texted me asking if he could come visit me sometime and hang out. I said yes, that sounds like fun! I sent that text maybe 15 minutes later, and immediately felt kind of awkward about using an exclamation mark. That was Wednesday, and he still hasn't responded. HE'S the one who initiated a conversation with me, and I don't understand how my response in any way warranted a red flag to run away.

Honestly, I'd rather get a brutal text back from a guy saying, "You're ugly and worthless and no man will ever love you!" than no response at all. It fills me with deep, ugly rage to be ignored for no discernable reason. It reeks of cowardice to leave someone in mystery and not be honest.
