Many of us grew up telling ghost stories around the campfire, fully unaware that our dating history would be full of them. Ghosting, in case you’re not familiar with the term, is when an individual cuts off all contact with someone they are dating, without explanation. Ghosting has been around for a long time, but the frequency and ease with which ghosting occurs in the digital age has made it a widely discussed topic in recent years.

  2. How can I get over being ghosted?
  3. Should I confront the person who ghosted me?
