The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date. This is done in hopes that the ghostee will just "get the hint" and leave the subject alone, as opposed to the subject simply telling them he/she is no longer interested. Ghosting is not specific to a certain gender and is closely related to the subject's maturity and communication skills. Many attempt to justify ghosting as a way to cease dating the ghostee without hurting their feelings, but it in fact proves the subject is thinking more of themselves, as ghosting often creates more confusion for the ghostee than if the subject kindly stated how he/she feels.
Carmen: How was your second date with Kyle?
Beth: I thought it went well, but I've texted him a couple of times since then and he's been ghosting me.
Carmen: What? I thought he was more mature than that.

Get the ghostland mug.When you are walking your dog and its takes a gigantic poop in your neighbor's yard. Instead of actually picking it up in a plastic bag, you reach just adjacent to it with a bagged hand, thus simulating a responsible neighbor cleaning up after its dog. If you want to complete the ruse, you actually tie the bag full and toss it in the nearest trash can.
Wife: "Honey, are you going to pick that up?"
Husband: "Are you kidding me? Do you see the size of that poop? I'm going ghosting that dog turd."
