The Shadow of Dating: Ghosting in the 2020's

Send us a text

Dating seems to be one of the most accessible things in the digital age and also one of it's biggest pain points. Not only in the superficiality of design but also in the lack of real connection through apps and platforms. We've grown accustomed to obscure ways of choosing a mate and may have even gotten ourselves in a place of fantasy that's proving hard to escape from. This episode dives into the shadowy bits of dating in this modern age as well as our new favorite dating past time and faux pas...ghosting. We discuss the potential reasons for ghosting, what it's like to be ghosted, and how we can heal on both ends of the spectrum. Please subscribe, follow, and share! I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next time.
