GHOST (Dating Term)

What Does GHOST Mean?

The Growing Glossary of Dating Slang

If you're new to online dating, then I'm afraid there is whole new language with well over 250 terms for you to learn.

Particularly since the rise of the iKids, people have been far more open about their sexual preferences and desires, and this has generated a long glossary of new dating terms. Many sexual preferences are still abbreviated on dating sites, presumably with the idea that those who do not understand the term do not need to know it. That thinking does not help newcomers though. Here is the term you're looking for:

GHOST means "End Contact Without Explanation."

More Observations...

Ghosting is a term used in dating to refer to the practice of ending a relationship by simply disappearing from the life of the other party. The ghost simply fails to respond to any messages, phone calls, or other attempts at contact. Unlike a curver, a ghost will not respond to any messages. A ghost lacks the courage or interest to end the relationship and hopes that the other party will take the hint and accept the inevitable.
