Ghosting

A modern symptom in the age of technology, ghosting someone isn't all bad. For example, radio silence after a first date says, without saying, "this didn't work." It would be awkward for you to "break up" with someone that early on - unless they keep pestering you. Mutual ghosting after two dates is fine. You both avoid contact and the message is clear. However, three dates or more requires someone to provide an explanation. Ghosting your literal boyfriend or girlfriend is never, ever cool.
