    Also, don’t take the disrespect personally. Especially if it’s someone new in your life, they don’t know you deeply enough for that to be a personal thing.

    It’s just the game she’s decided is necessary for her safety. It might be perceivable as disrespectful, but security procedures often are. Like if you went to your friend’s house and they demanded to search you for weapons that might seem disrespectful.

    But you’re not friends with this person ghosting you. They don’t know who you are. And in some environments, when someone unknown to you comes to your house you pat them down for weapons, even if it diminishes the hospitality.

      Exactly, I don’t blame them at all for anything. They don’t know me, I barely know them. If they don’t want to talk to me I have all you randos who reply to my comments. But I’m not gonna chase somebody who wants to get away. My biggest turn-on is someone who really, really wants me.
