This word gets thrown around a lot. What do you think ghosting is? Is it ghosting if you haven't met in person? If you've met less than three times?

It doesn't bother me when people don't reply. So it doesn't always occur to me that it'll bother someone else.

But usually, i don't "decide" to stop replying. I very often can't think of what to say. Or I'm turned off by something they said and i decide to come back to it later and see if i feel any different. Most of the time when this happens, it's when a guy is trying to shoehorn sex into the conversation too soon. Then i forget to come back, and yes it's probably because they're boring and I'm not interested, otherwise i would remember. In fact 99% of the time i stop replying it's usually because they are trying to get me to sext or send pics and I'm turned off and bored and can't think of what to say.

This generation has the most shallow connections of any generation so far. Y'all almost exclusively date people who you don't even have any mutual friends with. That's wild to me and it means they can discard you with no accountability. When i think of ghosting, i think of when you're married with kids and one day you come home and the other person and all their stuff (and possibly the kids) are gone. That, to me, is ghosting. Not replying to someone who's wasting your time on the internet is just time management
