Ghosting -- you know, getting silently ditched by a new romantic partner -- can be painful. But could "anti-ghosting" could be even worse?
The newly coined phrase refers to the practice of being painfully honest with someone you just met. That can be done politely, like, "Last night was fun. I just think we have more of a friend vibe. Is that something you’re open to?" or "I've had a good time getting to know you, but I’m just not feeling a romantic connection between us."
Most people are grateful to not be ghosted! So if you’re hesitant to send an anti-ghost text, just know that it can be a relief to the other person. Just be careful: A lot of folks sending these messages get a little too honest, and start picking apart the personality or looks of the person they're trying to ditch.
