Ghosting in dating is when someone simply vanishes. Poof. No texts, no calls, no "I'm not feeling it" courtesy. Cambridge Dictionary calls it abruptly ending contact, leaving you staring at your phone, replaying every moment. It is a passive-aggressive way of abandoning someone. The victim gets no closure, leaving them confused and full of self-doubt. This may sound harsh but it happens commonly in romance, friendships, even jobs.
