The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.

  • In reality, ghosting is having a material impact on users’ experience and ultimately their perception of online dating, both of which make it a threat to the industry Forbes.com
  • As Masini explains, when someone ghosts you, they expect you to try and get in contact with them, so rather than play into their expectations, give them a good dose of ghosting back, all the while staying on the periphery of their radar via social media. elite daily

kadota parisuhteesta ilman selityksiä


Definition from Mielen Ihmeet:
Ja sillä tavalla parisuhteesta katoamisesta on tullut yleinen käytäntö sen sijaan että suoraan lopettaisi sen. Se on niin yleistä, että sille on jopa oma nimi, ”ghostaaminen”, aaveeksi muuttuminen uuteen päivään siirryttäessä.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ghostaaja katoaa selittämättä - Tiede  
  • Toivoisin koko Tinder-yhteisön puolesta, että ghostaaminen loppuisi. Ghostaamiseksi kutsutaan sitä, että on jo sovittu alustavasti tapaamisesta, mutta kun aletaan puhua ajankohdasta ja paikasta, vastausta ei enää kuulukaan. - Kotiliesi
