One common ghosting dating story is when two people meet on a dating app. They start chatting, seem to really hit it off, and then arrange a date. After the date, which might have gone well from one person's perspective, the other just suddenly stops responding to messages and disappears. It's like they vanished into thin air.
A typical ghosting dating story could be like this. A person meets someone at a party and they exchange numbers. They start texting and flirting a bit. Then they decide to go on a date. On the date, they have a great time, or so it seems. But after that, the person who seemed so interested before just stops all communication. Maybe they got scared of getting too involved or found someone else, but it's a cruel way to end things without any explanation.
There are several common factors. Firstly, the concept of 'saving face' is important in Japanese culture. Breaking up directly might be seen as causing embarrassment. Secondly, the fast - paced modern life in Japan can make some people feel that it's easier to just move on without explanation. Thirdly, some people might be influenced by the idea that if they don't have strong feelings anymore, it's not necessary to communicate. This leads to the prevalence of ghosting in Japanese dating stories.
In dating, sometimes ghosting can be successful. For example, Tom was in a relationship where his partner was very controlling. He ghosted her and found that he was able to start anew. He met someone new who respected his boundaries.
First, accept that it's their loss. If someone ghosts you, it says more about them than you. Don't blame yourself. Just move on and keep your head high.
A typical ghosting relationship story is in the workplace. Colleagues might start off being friendly, having lunch together regularly and sharing personal stories. But then, for no obvious reason, one colleague just starts acting as if the other doesn't exist. No more greetings, no more conversations. It could be because of office politics or personal issues that the 'ghoster' doesn't want to deal with. In a romantic context, a couple could be dating casually for a while. One day, one of them decides they're not interested anymore but instead of communicating it, they just stop answering texts and calls, leaving the other person confused and hurt.
One common element is the setting. Often, it's in old, isolated places like haunted houses, deep forests, or near wells. For example, in the story of Okiku, the well is a key setting. Another element is the presence of vengeful spirits. These spirits usually have a tragic past, like being wronged or killed unjustly. Yuki -onna, though not always vengeful, still has a somewhat menacing nature. Also, there are often moral lessons. For instance, the story of Kuchisake -onna can be seen as a warning about being polite but also about not lying just to please others.
One tinder ghosting story is that a girl matched with a guy on Tinder. They had a great chat for a few days, even made plans to meet up. But suddenly, the guy just disappeared. No reply to her messages at all. It was really frustrating for her.
Well, I heard of a situation where a girl was in a long - distance relationship. They used to talk every day. But then, out of the blue, the boyfriend just ceased all communication. He unfollowed her on social media, didn't reply to her emails. It was like she ceased to exist for him. It was really hard for her as she had planned a future with him. She was constantly thinking about what might have caused this sudden change and was heartbroken for a long time.
Well, there's this story about a Japanese couple. They had been dating for a couple of months. The girl was really into the relationship. One day, the guy just vanished. He didn't show up for their planned date. After that, she tried reaching out but he had blocked her on all platforms. It's a typical case of ghosting in Japanese dating. It could be due to cultural reasons like not wanting to face the discomfort of a breakup conversation, or he might have just lost interest and thought this was the easiest way out.
Well, I heard of a man who ghosted his long - term partner just before a big event. Years later, when he was about to get married to someone else, his ex showed up and told his new partner about how he had ghosted. His new relationship was in jeopardy. It was his karma for the past wrong.
A friend of mine had a job ghosting experience too. He had been in contact with a startup for a potential position. They had long conversations about the role, his skills, and the future of the company. He was told he was a top candidate. But suddenly, all communication ceased. It turned out the startup had some internal issues and decided to halt their hiring process without informing the candidates. It's really unprofessional and can be very discouraging for job hunters.
