So you were talking to a new guy. Probably matched on Tinder or Bumble, right? Or if not, you met him in the basement of a frat house last weekend. And all of a sudden, he stops answering your texts and your snaps.

Here's the deal: don't let it get to you.

Now, as a girl who's been ghosted, trust me I know that's not always an easy pill to smile. He was a good kisser, he sent you sweet messages, he was hot, the list goes on and on.

But the truth of the matter is this: some guys will just use you and lose you. They'll get what they need to...hold them over for the time being.

Why would you let something like that get to you? Sure, be bummed out that it didn't work out. But don't dwell on it for days. It obviously wasn't meant to be. That doesn't invalidate whatever time you did spend together or whatever experiences you shared.

He came into your life, he left a mark, and he left. You live, you learn, and you continue on with your life.

This isn't a matter of whether or not hook-up culture is your thing. It's just a matter of recognizing your self-worth. Just because you were ghosted doesn't mean you're worth any less. It doesn't change who you are.

Getting ghosted does not reflect in any way on what you have to offer.

So next time he stops answering, use your discretion. Don't keep asking yourself, "What if?" You want and deserve someone who will make you their priority. So don't settle for anything less.
