Without a doubt, especially in college, this is a skill that needs to be perfected by every girl. Whether it’s that first hookup you had of college who will not leave you alone, or maybe a guy that just cannot get the hint- the art of ghosting can work wonders. However, there are a few stages of the ghosting process, and not a single one can be missed, so listen up!
1. You Can’t Be Friends with His Friends
Although this may totally suck, it’s true. If you hangout and party with his friends, he will always be close by and this is the last thing you want. This is a tough fact to accept, but if you totally want to get rid of this guy, it’s what you have to do!
2. Avoid Snapchatting Him at All Costs
If he snaps you, do NOT answer. Maybe take a few minutes (or 40) to open it. Also, maybe take some snaps of you with other guys at a party so maybe, just MAYBE, he can get the hint that you are not interested. If worst comes to worst, the best possible option would be to delete him and never look back!
3. Whatever You Do, Do Not Answer That Text
First things first, do NOT answer if he texts you. Even if you are drunk, you will 100% regret it immediately when you start sobering up. If he’s creepy, or you are just not interested, save yourself here. This is what ghosting is; it is an art and us girls should let these boys know we have no mercy!
4. Wear Sunglasses and Keep On Walking
Especially on a small campus, awkward hookups and creepy guys are inevitable to run in to. When this dreadful moment happens, just put on your sunglasses and act like you are busy on your phone. It’s not like every girl hasn’t perfected this already when walking on campus and feeling anti-social. Even better, pretend like you are on the phone so otherwise it would be just plain rude for him to interrupt.
5. If All Else Fails…
Since the process of ghosting is pretty brutal and heartless, why not make it more brutal and heartless? If this dude really has no brain cells and cannot catch any of these hints, stoop even lower. Have you ever considered hooking up with one of his friends? They will just have to talk about it, so this will definitely be the deal breaker. If his friends aren’t up to par, take a peek at his roommate. Is he a 7 or 8? Maybe desperate times call for desperate measures.
As you can see ladies, the art of ghosting requires you to be strong! You can’t be like “…but oh wait, this is so wrong. I’m such a horrible person!” instead you need to be like “…but oh wait, what else do I have to lose to get rid of this guy once and for all? Ugh, he needs to not.” So whatever, he’s out of your life completely, isn’t this what you wanted? Yes? Then awesome, you have accomplished your goal. You’ve got this, girls!
