Ghosting, Caspering, and Crappy Rules

Published: Feb. 9, 2021, 9 p.m.

It's easy to waste your time on dating apps and speed dating events but to actually meet someone meaningful is pretty hard. With licensed relationship therapist and coach, Shawn Davis highlights a problem each week and gives some tips on navigating these areas. This week's journey leads us on a path to discover why the hell we ghost and how to handle the dreaded silence on the other end of that text.  

Today's Tips:

  • Excuses can sound reasonable, but even a  justified need for space or silence still needs to be communicated in order for safety to exist.  
  • Consider 2 options:
    • move on to partners who highlight your need for communication
    • try to work it out by speaking up for your needs with this person, if they are still around and communicating
  • Honor yourself by asking  if this moment allows me to be my most authentic self.
