Ever send a message and… nothing? No reply, no call back, no explanation. That’s when you’ve been ghosted. In slang, being ghosted means someone disappears from your life—like a ghost—without saying goodbye. One day they’re chatting, the next day they vanish. This is a really trendy word nowadays, and if you have native friends, you'll definitely be hearing it a lot.
How Do We Use It?
-
Past tense: He ghosted me after our second date.
-
Present tense: I think she’s ghosting me—no reply all week!
Why Do People Say It?
Because just saying “he stopped talking to me” doesn’t capture the drama! “Ghosted” perfectly describes the modern disappearing act—whether in dating, friendships, or even job interviews.
Some more examples:
-
I thought the interview went well, but the company ghosted me.
-
She ghosted all her friends after moving abroad.
-
My best friend of 7 years just ghosted me.
So next time someone vanishes from your inbox, you’ll know the word for it. ??
