My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

These aren't "old person traits". It's common sense.

Using the term "common-sense" in reference to specific, complex preferences is definitely an old person trait.

a relationship is a voluntary situation that can be interrupted at any time for any reason. Theres a reason usually these ghosting winers have incel vibes...

a relationship is a voluntary situation

Except if you're standing next to me in the supermarket. Or at the bus stop. Or sitting near me in a restaurant. Or at the doctors office and so on. And in all of these situations, I expect common courtesy from you. Or I consider you as an asshole.

since we are talking about ghosting and not a random interaction id say you are off topic.
