We had met on a dating app and things were really going well. So we decided to have a dinner + movie date, which happened (sort of) tonight. We met at the theater complex, went in to our theater just as the movie started, and sat down. About a half-hour into the movie, she told me she had to go to the bathroom. So she got up and went out, AND NEVER CAME BACK. I sat through the rest of the movie thinking any minute she would be back, but she never showed back up. I sent her a couple of text messages: one to ask her if she was okay, and one to ask if I could at least get an honest explanation for why she did what she did. Nothing. I went back on to the dating app where we met and found that she deleted me.
I understand that sometimes things don’t work out, but that doesn’t change the fact that rejection hurts… especially when the rejection comes in the form of your date walking out on you during a movie you had both agreed to see together.
So I went out for Mexican by myself after the movie was over. We were supposed to go together but I went by myself.
This whole episode has hurt me so badly I cannot even put it into any more words. Except maybe a few: that fucking bitch!

Hi Matty, that is so heartbreaking to one have her walk out and also not get any explanation. I hate that you experienced that today. I am hoping there is a way you can take extra care of yourself this evening and I think that treating yourself to dinner was a very solid start. Please feel free to DM us or give us a call at 866-728-7983 if you need support or just someone to talk to. We are here for you 24/7.
I’m a little late to this, but here goes.
Being ghosted is horrible and I’m so sorry you had that experience. I think it’s particularly difficult and confusing because there’s just no explanation for it, no closure, no “Sorry, this just isn’t working for me”
You’re just left wondering why, and that’s such a tough feeling to have to sit with, like literally sit with.
Having just been recently ghosted myself, I feel for you, and hope by this time, you’re feeling tons better.
I’m so glad you chose to take yourself out to dinner after the movie. You gave yourself a huge gift by doing that. Maybe it didn’t feel so great at the time, but actions like that speak volumes to our core selves.
Wishing you peace
