I recently got "ghosted." Cute Czech girl living in my city I was hanging out with. Tried to keep it casual but she kept trying to invite me for weekend trips to Prague and I just wasn't on board with weekend getaways with her. After the last time we hung out she wanted to stay the night, I said I had an early morning, didn't hear from her after that.

Call it ego preservation if you want but I'm pretty sure she got tired of my blasé attitude towards her and only hitting her up when I wanted some.

It’s defintelty for me I just am brutally honest and tell someone when I’m done or not interested but if that’s the way people are doing it maybe I need to learn...this thread is more so trying to gather a general consensus from others about these type of interactions maybe I should have started this differently 🤔

This isn't the first time it's happened to you, though, right?

As a woman, I do know that the prevailing reason I would totally stop talking to a guy I was having good sex with, assuming all other factors were generally positive, is if I were more into another guy.

Only person who knows is her.

You either got ghosted because:
Sex wasn't good.
She met someone else.
She decided casual wasn't for her.
Could be a multitude of reasons.

How long are you going to ponder on this? I don't think ghosting is right either, it's actually cowardly depending on the situation. Maybe you overestimated your importance in her life, I don't know. However, I wouldn't dwell on it for too long. People are jerks.

Its happened twice, both with people who were totally into it and mentioned nothing but good things and I’ve also ended casual things myself but I take a different approach. Guess my confusion is if it’s good and what they wanted (per their words) why dissapaear without saying anything? Or is their just no justifying people like this..

As I intimated in your previous thread about ghosting, I don't think there's any justifying it, and as others have said here, there's no telling why she did it.

Only she knows.

Apparently a lot of people truly believe that casual sex does not warrant basic respect. That would tell me something about the validity of the idea as a whole.

Some people just don't want the emotional hassle of having that conversation. I can understand that because when I have ended a relationship with women, and gave them the reasons I no longer wanted to be romantically involved they got all mad, emotional, and sometimes downright mean.

I wasn't aware that casual meant people could ignore common decency.

Wish I didn't know that now.
