"There are few things as frustrating as when a promising guy suddenly disappears on you. &amp;quot;Ghosting&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;going to the planet&amp;quot;) is only excusable if he or someone he&amp;#x27;s close to has actually died; otherwise, you can use some sort of technology to get in touch with the person you&amp;#x27;ve been seeing and perhaps sleeping with regularly, k? I know some people think ghosting is fine when you&amp;amp;#8217;re not officially together, but I disagree. Unless it&amp;amp;#8217;s a (very obvious) one-night stand, vanishing after you&amp;amp;#8217;ve had sex with or been otherwise intimate with someone just isn&amp;amp;#8217;t cool to do, ever. The most interesting thing about this phenomenon, however, is how often the guy comes back at some point. Whether it&amp;#x27;s weeks or years away, he&amp;#x27;ll most likely be back. How will you handle it? After dealing with a terrible breakup, my friend started an online dating profile to distract herself. She began seeing a new guy, and the next few months were filled with adorable dates and bragworthy sex. Then, out of nowhere, she was getting radio silence instead of witty texts about their inside jokes. After a few weeks, she emailed him to see what was going on, and he gave the typical &amp;amp;#8220;My schedule is crazy and, oh, BTW, I&amp;amp;#8217;m also not over my ex&amp;amp;#8221; response. My friend handled it like a gracious pro by thanking him for explaining and moving on. Kudos to her, because that isn&amp;amp;#8217;t easy. Now, out of nowhere, this guy has appeared back on the scene and is texting her like it&amp;amp;#8217;s his job. She&amp;amp;#8217;s mystified, but I explained that it&amp;amp;#8217;s just the natural cycle of ghosting. The question is: WEhat do you do when a guy who blew you off comes running back? Here are a few ideas: 1. Just don&amp;amp;#8217;t respond. Ever. Maybe knowing how it feels will make him more empathetic in the future. 2. Ask him what was up point-blank. There&amp;amp;#8217;s a chance something serious happened, like a family issue or losing his job. If you guys were just starting out, you might be able to excuse him dropping everything to get his life in order. Although, if that&amp;amp;#8217;s the case, he probably would have told you this out of respect for you. 3. Explain that, while you really liked him, it&amp;amp;#8217;s just over. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re of the mind that he doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t deserve another chance, feel free to let him know exactly why. This is the moment you&amp;amp;#8217;ve daydreamed about, so take advantage! Have you ever been ghosted? How would you handle it if the guy tried to pick up where you left off?
