Definition

The deliberate act of suddenly cutting off all communication with someone without explanation, typically in dating contexts. Like a ghost, the person vanishes from your life, leaving only read receipts and unanswered questions in their wake.

Example Usage

I thought we had a great first date, but then he started ghosting me—hasn't replied to my texts in two weeks.
