Ghosting vs. Leaving on Read

Ceasing all communication versus seeing a message and not replying.

The comparisoni

✗ Wrong

He ghosted me for five minutes.

✓ Correct

We had three dates, and then he just ghosted me.

The ruleii

GHOSTING = completely cutting off contact without explanation.

Both involve silence, but 'ghosting' is a permanent state, while 'on read' is a specific interaction.

Memory aidiii

Remember it like this

Ghost = Disappeared. Read = Ignored.
