[Serious] people who ghost people, why do you do it?

I've ghosted women because I fear intimacy. One situation in particular, this girl I went on two dates with, told me she loved me at the beginning of the second date, I laughed it off like she was just kidding around, then she got all serious and said "I'm serious, I found you at the lowest point of my life and I know you get me" and she started crying uncontrollably. I feel bad about it now, but I was young, dumb, and not emotionally capable of handling a situation like that. So I dropped her off and never called her again and blocked her number after she immediately started calling and texting. I was also kind of scared to be completely honest. I thought if I played into her shit that she'd go crazy and fake a pregnancy OR do it on purpose. So I figured, get out ASAP
