You don’t have to ghost someone. You can kindly say you aren’t ready to date and you apologize. And it’s much more unkind to just put someone off until they stop asking. It’s child’s games.
It’s also no fair to be on a dating site when you aren’t dating. People aren’t there for your amusement and void filling. That is what’s most unkind.
I was very implicit AND told this man I was not in any position to be dating and I was taking some time to myself to focus on the divorce.
He was kind in return and said hey, we are not doing anything except getting to know each other. He seemed to have accepted it... but 2 weeks later popped back in and trying to stay in communication. Personally, I think he is just lonely as well and just wants adult companionship. I'm trying NOT to be mean. I'm kind as I can be and just don't accept.
I live in a very small town. There are no women's hike groups... no woman's knit groups. Its crazy how limited my area is.
