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.

You are wrong, Zach. (the guy who posted above me) A ghost is someone who has passed away, but got stuck on earth. A ghost doesn't know that they are dead. A ghosts energy can vary from cold to hot. A ghost can't physically harm you. A Poltergeist on the other hand can be very physical and violent. A spirit knows they are dead, a spirit can be anything from a demon, an angel, a messenger, etc. A spirit can even be God himself. Check your Facts Zach. I been doing Ghost/Spirit study for quite some time. Usually in a ghost or spirit case, you can order an Excorist, or one of my cherokee brothers, such as a Shaman.
