What if he ghosts you?
This week's question comes from Gail:
“Hi Orna and Matthew,
What if he ghosted you and 7 weeks later a one-sentence text and photo comes out of the blue? Respond? Don’t respond? Do I wait to respond?
I’m confused as to what this means. Is he interested in me again? Should I text a guy who ghosted me? I’m really tired of games and this seems to be a common behavior with men and new relationships.
My friends say he ghosted you so just ignore him. But I want a relationship and he could be interested. I just don’t know.
Clearly, I need some help with dating. I’m tired of feeling like I didn’t get the memo.
Help!”
