| @The_Face_of_Boo and League_Girl.. I've seen the situations you described with my friends/classmates back in school. What I can explain based on my experience, sometimes, the Ghost-ee is not aware that he/she is giving off an impression/signal that he/she is interested in being more than friends wit... |

| Withdrawing usually happens when one steps back from the relationship (even temporarily) because they may feel things are going a little too fast for them or too intimate. That's what I remember. Ghosting can result from withdrawing, but I like to refer to ghosting as cutting of all contact and not... |

| My ex also told me we would always be friends and we were still talking after we split up but not as much and he told me he was just busy but he kept on excluding me and not answering his phone and he wasn't like this when we first met and when we were together. It was very hurtful what he did to m... |

| I find it unlikely he is not answering you because he is shutdown. If he was, he wouldn't read your messages. I can cope with not seeing somebody I'm attached to for months, but I would never even consider not answering them if they texted me. That's rude beyond words. So, no, I don't think he does... |

| I think ASD people are just as capable as anyone. It can be hard to tell if someone is being a dick or not if they are ASD or if simply are not into you. With NT guys (none of them I am aware of being ASD, at least), if I sense that there is a chance they are playing games, I tell them straight out... |

| Hi TornadoEvil, I don't know if this will help you - my last year with my ex was on and off and it was a roller coaster ride. The good times were good, and so I stayed for those but he always left me hanging, come back and apologize or I would be the one to contact him... then the cycle repeats. In ... |

| First, I don't think this is typical ghosting (well, it could be but I doubt it is). That's because he has done it before, and was happy with you contacting him. He might very well wait for you to do that again. The information in the post is too sparse to give an idea why he is doing this to you, ... |

| In my case, it wasn't someone I had only dated a few times, this was an established friend. She gradually became more secretive and talked less for no reason, and eventually stopped talking to me altogether. Even though it had been almost 5 years since I heard from her last, it still upsets me very... |

| My ex did it to me and it caused me lot of stress and anxiety and I felt all alone and single and then my mom told me he didn't want me and he had moved on and I am single now. I felt so happy so I moved on and I didn't have to worry about cheating. I decided next time any guy goes silent on me, I ... |

| This is something I struggle with as well, not knowing what exactly is going on, because it literally could be anything. Hi Tim_Tex, I hear you. This guy has disappeared before and we didn't talk for 2 months. When we started talking again, he disappeared for days within the first week - I remained... |

| I operate on the assumption that folks mean what they say and do, eg a guy/girl who says they're not "looking for anything serious" means it, a guy/girl who isn't interested won't return your call, a guy/girl who IS interested will return your call, etc. Life's too short to drive yourself... |

| Unless this is about something you really need I'd recommend just giving it some time for the situation to become clear to you. People get spacey and crazy stuff happens to us. Thanks cberg... I have no idea how it's going to be clear to me since he doesn't say anything. But maybe I'll give it one ... |

| I have seen this happen before with the disfunctional relationship I had with my ex where he would use my things as leverage because he wasn't sure whether he wants to end it or not. However, this guy and I are not officially together and I think one month of not hearing from him is enough for me to... |
