(Rewind): They Said They Wanted You, The...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

In today’s Rewind episode, I talk about what might be the most insidious form of ghosting.

If someone ghosts you after a couple of tepid dates (which doesn’t feel good, don’t get me wrong) you can usually assume they just weren’t feeling the chemistry . . .

But what does it mean when someone pulls away after saying they want to be exclusive, or after texting constantly and telling you they want to see you all the time?

In this episode, I give you three reasons why someone might do this, what you should do when it happens, and the strange reason why they may choose to ghost but leave the door open. You can’t miss this topic!
