It is human nature to be attracted to people that we can’t have and that’s why many of us have trouble moving on after getting ghosted or rejected.
Some women start to wonder if there is something wrong with them while in reality it is often has nothing to do with them. The guys that ghosted them just didn’t have the guts to break up in person.
That’s why you need to avoid acting desperate or trying to get some type of explanation from the guy that ghosted you.
Why would you waste your time on a guy who didn’t even bother to let you know how he felt about your relationship.
The best way to deal with it is to realize that you are just not compatible with this guy and there is no need for you to waste your mental energy on him when there are so many other attractive single men that you could be dating.
This is especially important to remember if you are dating casually. Dating without any commitment means that your partner may leave you at any time because you never agreed to be exclusive.
If you are not interested in casual dating, avoid using dating apps like Tinder and instead try other sites that focus more on creating long-term relationships.
