What's with the ghosting?

What's with the ghosting?

We've met some wonderful people on this site, and we've had some excellent conversations!

As a couple, we always respond together, and we always try and respond to every email. In fact, as a courtesy, if we chat with someone and the interest isn't there, we always respectfully decline. Seems like a common courtesy.

The one thing we'll never understand, however, is the ghosting. We talk for a bit, exchange pictures to establish chemistry, exchange texts and chat for a bit to weed out the oddballs (there's a few) - and we all decide it's a good time to meet...
...and then... ghosted.

It's actually happened a few times, and many others have also noticed this behavior. Not sure why someone would invest all that time and effort and simply disappear without the courtesy of a reply.

Why do you think this is? Cold feet?

Please share your experiences as well. We'd love to hear them.

 It's an unfortunate phenomenon of which both men and women (whether singles or couples) are guilty.

I think that someone invests in that behaviour because they see FriendFinder-x as a fantasy world and they lack the courage to make it a reality. I'm glad to hear that the two of you are responsive. One of my problems is my inability to initiate e-mails or to respond to e-mails due to FriendFinder-x restrictions. That's why I tend to us IMC more.

 Also happens to pretenders... they pretend to be something they wished they could allow themselves to do or be... From the get-go, these pretenders know very well that they will never take on the opportunity to act out their fantasy... So they just pretend.. to be.. for a fleeting moment during which they wish they had the means to finally act it out. .... Makes sense?
