Casual dating (non-sexual) if i'm not feeling it i would tell them that i can be their friend but i don't see us in a relationship, I usually know after the first phone call or meeting, i don't see the point in dating someone i don't spark with.
FWB- tried it before, he developed feelings, i told him i didn't want to continue and quite frankly felt like sh*t for hurting him.
My version of FWB- I have a couple of friends that i find attractive, and while i don't see them as relationship potential, sometimes i just need a little something. I will message and if we are both open and available we will get together, go to a movie, maybe grab dinner, but we both know where it will end up. There's no arrangement in place, no expectation that it will happen again.
Ghosting- the only time i have done this is when i'm on dating apps. If i'm having multiple conversations, and i haven't given my number/kik/or insta out to them, than they usually get deleted once i get bored of the app. Generally i will connect, make a bunch of connections, click with a few and ask them to chat on a different messaging platform, then delete the dating app.
It depends on the number of dates. If it's only been 1-2 dates, I usually just let it fizzle out if I'm not interested. If the other person does contact me, I will not ignore her. At that point, I will say I don't think we are a match. But I usually don't go out of my way to initiate a final text/call just to say I don't think we are a match, unless, as I said, she contacts me.
If it's been 3 or more dates, and especially if they have been more than a short, standard coffee/drink date. Then I definitely give a phone call as soon as I feel it's not going to work out, and explain and wish them the best.
If you are officially dating someone, then obviously, ending it is much more involved.
"thank you for this experience; i'm not ready for a relationship yet".
probably smarter than what i did before; not saying the last part & couldn't get away from him for at least nine years : (
