Ghosting is a relatively new colloquial dating term that refers to abruptly cutting off contact with someone without giving that person any warning or explanation for doing so. Even when the person being ghosted reaches out to re-initiate contact or gain closure, theyre met with silence.

What to do when someone is ghosting you?

The best plan is treat your ghost as if they were invisible. Dont acknowledge your ghost or, if you cant avoid that, smile and walk on past like they dont matter at all. Dont stop to talk or seek an explanation — if you do, thats a win to them.
