an actually honest online dating profile

on ghosting, ghosters, and selling myself short

i got ghosted last week.

it happened in a slow drip. first, he stopped responding mid conversation. when i texted to see if he was alive, he responded 36ish hours later, claiming a big exciting achievement at work that had required all of his attention, then asked me how my week had been. i figured it was a one off, that i’d let it slide. but i knew. i just knew in the way i think all of us know when someone no longer wants to talk to us. and i was right.
