It’s happened to us all—you meet someone new, text back and forth constantly, and then out of nowhere you're greeted with radio silence. After weeks of no communication, it’s clear that you’re being ghosted and your date has no intention of telling you why. The best way to respond to a ghoster is to say nothing and move on. However, if you want closure or think your ghoster can explain their behavior, sending one last text could help. We’ve put together tons of different sample texts to suit any type of relationship you had with your ghoster, whether they were a casual Friendship or something more serious.
Things You Should Know
- Send a humorous or sassy text if your relationship wasn’t too serious.
- Communicate your hurt if your relationship was developing to get closure and move on.
- Keep the door open for an explanation or a second chance if you’re not too hurt.

Dating CoachThe best revenge is a life well lived. Instead of falling into a negative pattern where you're trying to get somebody back, focus on going out and heading to events where you can meet more and more new people!
Tips
- If you guys went on one date and didn't talk again, who cares? They’re just basically saying, “I’m not interested” and they didn’t even have the guts to say it to your face, so what? Sometimes, the best answer is to just leave it alone.Thanks
