A person from you past that means something to you. Like an ex boyfriend, past hook up, someone you liked. Usually relate it to when you hook up with them and you're telling your friend I ghosted last night or I saw a ghost last night.

The act of suddenly cutting ties with someone you date.
The term carries a very negative connotation. On Psychology portals, ghosting will be labeled as a form of psychological abuse. Thus, some people may not see fairness in using the term to refer to people who have vanished after a date or two, or after a little time chatting over Facebook or Tinder.
They'd rather limit it to people who used it as a coward manner of breaking-up a months long relationship or friendship, specially if a bond was explicitly set to exist, and expectations could be deemed as legitimate and rational.
While it can be that the ghoster simply doesn't care enough about the ghostee to end things right, it can also happen as a product of unhealthy relationship dynamics, such as it being almost impossible for a non-assertive anxious-avoidant type to properly break-up with a lovebombing anxious-attached one.

1: That girl said I ghosted her, but we had literally talked for one night. Ghosting? It's not like I owed her anything.
2: My ex vanished after five months. The ghosting was really traumatizing. We were very close together and he knew how much I relied on him.
