I don't think anyone said you were demanding answers (??? not sure where you got that from in my post - I am simply stating why some people regularly ghost. As you *did* ask why people ghost. Because of some of the things I mentioned. "Nada to do with you, darlin'" and to see it as a many possible answer. I didn't know you wanted sympathy. I usually answer the questioned asked :)
Being told no sucks. I hear you. It sucks no matter how it's done. I've been told no thanks in all kinds of ways, many, many MANY times and none feel awesome. There just isn't a good way. I am sure you will find what you are looking for. Consider it a quick dodge.
