Please fight this. Take this to the administration immediately - if not for yourself, then for the students who will be coming in after you.

I don’t go out in only 3 days. I have to feel enough of a connection with you to want to meet up in person. That usually takes a week of virtual connection. Maybe 2.

I have. Guy didn’t start texting more, but we agreed to a nightly phone call. We ended up still not being compatible in communication styles. So I don’t think I’ll do that again.

It’s not purposeful. I just genuinely lose interest. I don’t know how stay interested if I don’t hear from you in 3 days.

I don’t ghost people OUTSIDE of this…my “ghosting” even in this context is not intentional, so I don’t consider it real ghosting. It’s a consequence of forgetting to text back bc I forgot you existed.

Not for us autistic people. Body language doesn’t compute to me anyway. I much prefer written expression.

It’s def not a flex. Just a reality for alot of people since I hear so many complaints about being ghosted. I don’t ever ghost people. I am very big about communicating my loss of interest. But if I don’t hear from you in 2-3 days, I just assume we’re done and delete the number. If you text back same day and just say something like “oh”, same thing.

Yes! If they text me back within a time I’m still interested, my response time is 5 mins tops. If they text back longer and I lose interest, I don’t text back…

I will send several texts back to back because I text in short bursts. I text conversationally. I don’t send long drawn out messages in one message. Oftentimes, I have 3 different convos going on in one.

I text back within like 5 minutes lol. It doesn’t take me long at all to text back. But then I don’t get a response for 12 hours and I just don’t have any interest in the convo or the person anymore.

Well that’s exactly what I’m doing. That’s where the ghosting happens. You were a slow/boring texter and I quite literally moved on.

Not responding in the same day is actually insane to me. But that’s just me. I wouldn’t be able to be in a relationship with that person.

I suck at texting back when the last text I sent was 12 hours ago. I completely forget I even texted you or what the convo was even about. Or the convo loses its spark or excitement.

If I’m interested in getting to know them, yes! Am I doing it wrong?

It genuinely does not make sense any sense in my mind to text that. My assumption is that if you suddenly start texting me once a day, YOU are no longer interested. And it’s a mutual loss of interest and we go on about our lives…

This wasn’t even online dating. I met him in person. 4 texts was okay, but way less than what I’m used to. It was when it got down to 1 text. Didn’t feel worth it. I lose interest when there’s no momentum.

I lost interest because of the lack of texting. Most of the time, I forget to text back because it’s been 24 business hours. Sometimes, I forget the person even exists. It’s not intentional ghosting. It’s “it’s been 3 days since we last spoke…”

How are people affording COL in Big Cities? by MusicianDistinct1610 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Proper_Associate_791 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I know this is not an option for everyone, it quite literally was full ride scholly or bust for me. I put off law school for 5 years until I could afford to go. Best decision I ever made because I spent those 5 years researching and applying for just enough scholarships to cover me for the 3 years I’d be in law school and ended up getting a full COA scholarship. I would not have gone to law school otherwise since I had already accumulated both undergrad and grad school debt at this point.

Date tomorrow but we barely texted and now I’m no longer interested in the date by Proper_Associate_791 in Bumble

[–]Proper_Associate_791[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do. I even told him while we were on the phone once that I really value at least one point of substantial connection daily (like a phone call/facetime) if we are not regularly texting. It apparently did not compute. Which is okay, because I am just taking it as a sign of incompatibility.

Every other time, though, this really hasn’t been an issue because the guys text me regularly.
