Ghosted

Last fall, Lauren and I had 3 great dates and multiple weeks of quite enjoyable conversations and reminiscing.  In late November,  an awkward double date with her daughter and future son in law... and then poof. I was told not to contact her anymore. 

Today,  I learned that I was ghosted. The modern day version of disappearing. Reading up on it further,  I discovered that I may have not been perceived as a good fit by her. But what it reveals about her was more damning.  Apparently she lacks the ability to converse about what she perceived as a contrary situation.  

Apparently it is easier for her to disappear than to express herself.  This is a trait recently developed by the techno-isolated generation.  

I'm only down because it means I misjudged someone again.  But it also means that I got wrapped up in the common memories and overlooked her downfalls. 

I'll be more wary in the future.... hopefully
