To Ghost or Not to Ghost: What It Really Says About You

“Let’s talk about ghosting—finally.”

In Episode 106 of Dating with Katy, I dove into one of the most avoided—but most relatable—dating behaviors: ghosting. That moment when someone just disappears. No message. No closure. Just… gone. 

Whether you've been ghosted or done the ghosting (because let’s be honest—Don’t complain about being ghosted if you’ve ghosted someone yourself”), this episode is a reality check on what ghosting really means, why it happens, and what to do about it.

“80% of people aren’t ready to date.”

Yep, I said it. I call them the 80%ners—people who enter dating half-heartedly, with unresolved issues, emotional immaturity, or zero capacity for real connection.

“Sometimes, ghosting is okay.”

It’s not a popular opinion, but here’s the truth: not everyone deserves your energy. Especially in the early stages of online dating, ghosting might be less about cruelty and more about filtering out what doesn't align.

“If they won’t get on a call, they’re not serious.”

Let’s talk about communication. A text-only connection isn’t real. If they’re unwilling to pick up the phone or FaceTime, you’re dealing with someone emotionally unavailable. And ghosting in that case? It’s a gift, not a loss.

Ghosting isn’t rejection—it’s redirection.
When someone walks away without a word, they’re showing you where they are emotionally. Believe them. And protect your peace.

When ghosting happens, Matchmaker Katy says:
“ Ladies, Say something—don’t assume.
Men, you are the leaders.”
Be direct and classy.”

And if they come back?
“They’d better be accountable.” Growth over excuses.
