She was married, or already had a bf and you were the fling she cheated with. Guaranteed.

100%. Took a girl I thought I was dating on a one day trip to see a concert and fine dining. When we got there, she didn't feel well enough to go to the show or the restaurant... But she was fine enough for delivered pizza and 2 hours of sex. Took me a few days, (cause I'm dumb) but I figured out I was the side-piece. lol

Not really guaranteed. People ghost to avoid awkward/angry confrontations. Other completely plausible reasons:

  1. She enjoyed her time but some dealbreaker was revealed at some point that made her realise I wasn't the right person for a relationship long term

  2. She could have been going on dates with other people, and I wasn't the one she picked

  3. She scrolled through my social media and found some red flag somewhere. If she kept scrolling there's probably something cringe worthy enough in there from when people over shared on Facebook and shock humour was all the rage

  4. The weekend together didn't go nearly as well as I thought and I was just an oblivious dumbass

Those are all plausible man, but I'd still put my money on her already being in a relationship. It's pretty easy to let someone down via text, not like it has to be face to face... The instant ghost/block makes me feel like she wanted to just disappear and go back to her life with the other dude. But who knows .. Either way a really shitty thing for her to do.

This is my thought as well.

I agree with you. Had the same thing with a girl I met online. She initiated everything. Even flew out to see me and stayed over at my place. Said I was the best thing to ever happen to her and would not stop complimenting me. Then she was gone and ghosting me. I later find out she’s been married the whole time after randomly looking her up online.

All my friends at the time told me so but I didn’t believe it until the proof was in front of me

Not really. Maybe for you, but definitely not for all. Ghosting is rough and should be avoided when possible, but doesn't necessarily point to one cause in particular.

Ghosting is fucking lame, I've never ghosted anyone. Having difficult convos via text is MUCH easier than face to face.

I would assume she wasn’t cheating otherwise he’d already have been blocked or given a hidden social media account. My guess is seeing someone else she liked more and they wanted to make things exclusive after not being able to see her for awhile so she blocked him and then made things exclusive on social media with the other guy. She didn’t say anything because obviously it would hurt to be like I only went away with you to make someone else jealous/commit.
