Summary

The content humorously details various unsuccessful attempts by the author to engage with women, highlighting the irony of being ghosted despite claiming it's impossible.

Abstract

The article titled "The Most Embarrassing Ways Girls Have Ghosted Me" presents a series of anecdotes where the author, presumably named Srini, recounts his experiences with women who have ceased communication with him, often in awkward or public manners. Despite his assertions that he is the one who does the ghosting, the stories illustrate a pattern of the author being ignored or rejected, including instances of unanswered direct messages, unrequited declarations of love, and even a proposal via email. The author's attempts at humor and self-assurance are juxtaposed with the reality of his situation, creating a comedic effect. The piece concludes with a nod to the comedic genius of T. Kent Jones for his editing prowess and invites readers to follow the author's Medium page for more content.

Opinions

  • The author believes it is impossible for someone to ghost him, yet the stories suggest otherwise, indicating a possible disconnect from reality.
  • He views his approach to communication, such as sending multiple unanswered messages, as persistent rather than overwhelming or inappropriate.
  • The author seems to equate the act of ghosting with immaturity, yet his own actions could be perceived as such by the women he is trying to engage with.
  • He appears to be seeking validation and reassurance from the women he messages, as seen in his repeated inquiries about their well-being and his proposal to Emily.
  • The author's public challenge to a date named Victoria on Instagram, before their date, shows a lack of understanding of social norms and the potential impact on the date's outcome.
  • The humor in the article is derived from the author's misplaced confidence and the irony of his situation, suggesting a self-awareness of the comedic potential in his misadventures.
  • The mention of a girl's Instagram picture of her crying, to which the author responded with a comment about himself, indicates a lack of empathy and an overly self-centered perspective.

HOW ARE YOU??

The Most Embarrassing Ways Girls Have Ghosted Me

‘It’s literally impossible to ghost me’

I DM'd my favorite Instagram model, asking “How are you now?” This was genuine because she hadn't answered my previous DM asking “How are you?” that I sent twenty-one months ago.

I texted a dashing girl from Tinder right before our date, “Nobody ghosts me. I ghost the ghost. See you at the date, Annabelle! 🤗 ”

I politely said to a girl on our first date, “Ghosting people is so immature. But from where I sit, you look like the most mature person on the planet.”

Seven minutes before my date with an actual Victoria’s Secret model named Victoria, I posted a selfie on Instagram with the caption, “It's literally impossible to ghost me. I challenge you, Victorian Victoria 😂 Victory is mine! Viva, Victoria! 😆 ”

I DM’d a girl asking, “How are you?” It was genuine because she had DM’d me asking “How are you?” fourteen weeks ago, to which I did not respond.

I accidentally liked a girl's Instagram picture of her crying. Then I commented — “I am GREAT. How are you?” the caption that I posted nine and a half years ago.

I said to my seventeenth potential girlfriend Isabelle, “I love you more than anything in the world. Please don't ever leave me! PLEASE! Who am I kidding? You can never leave me.”

I commented under a girl's Instagram picture of her posing in front of the Taj Mahal, “How are you, dawg?”

A girl who was a potential friend DM’d me asking “How are you?” and I replied, “Aww. I’m doing terrific. Thank you for asking! How is your sister?”

I said to my twenty-sixth potential girlfriend, Jennifer, “You’re my favorite person in the world. I’m going to do whatever it takes to be your favorite person in the world.”

My first potential girlfriend Angela DM’d me saying, “I love you!” and I responded, “WOW! Really?”

I tweeted after my successful sixth date with my seventh potential girlfriend Carrie, “Told you — Nobody ghosts me; I ghost the ghost. #noteverygirlisimmaturelikeyouannabelleandisabelle

I DM’d a girl a fourth time saying “Heyyyy!!!!” after my failed first attempt (“Hey!”), the failed second attempt (“Heyy!!”), and the failed third attempt (“Heyyy!!!”) — all four times with an equal interval of five weeks.

My twenty-third potential potential girlfriend Candice DM’d me asking “How are you?” I replied, “I’m doing fabulous. Thank you for asking!” What I did NOT ask her back? “How are you?”

I sent my sixteenth potential girlfriend Emily an email in which I wrote, “Will you marry me NOW?? 💍” (PRO TIP: Send a real ring through the post instead of sending a ring emoji when you ask your potential girlfriend to marry you.)

I DM’d my seventh potential girlfriend Carrie asking “How are you?” genuinely because she was on her deathbed. Unfortunately, she died and became an actual ghost.
