To the guy that went "ghost,"

You went ghost like Danny Phantom.

I thought you showed a lot of signs that you were into me as much as I was into you. You told me personal things, and general things almost immediately. You were showing interest, and that was what intrigued me. We felt comfortable around one another. It happened so naturally, I don't know where it all went wrong. You start realizing things are off when he kills your snap streak. And then he doesn't say hi to you in public. Girls have a radar and when things like this happen, it goes off like a fire alarm.

As a girl crushing on you, I questioned, "What did I do"? Can you believe it, I actually thought it was my fault, and that I did something! I guess it goes back to one of my favorite lines from my favorite movie…

(The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

I simply thought you were different than any other guy I have met so far. Sure, I thought in my head, he might be the one that turns into a jerk. I didn't want to believe it, but it definitely was a thought.

I just want to text you now, and be so blunt as to say, “Alright, what's going on? Why are you going MIA?” But I can’t. It's that unwritten law that the female has to be strong on her own and she doesn't need a man. So, as females we certainly don't text, snap, etc. them back, because then they win the battle.

That's not to say that we need a significant other in our lives, but as human beings, we long for attention from others. It's just in our nature. No one truly wants to be single. Even if they don't want a relationship, they still long for attention from someone else. It feels good to be wanted and needed by others. I believe you should pick someone because they make you a better you.

I ran through different circumstances as to why you might have gone MIA. Maybe you had family issues, or something else going on. But the realization you found someone else hit me pretty hard. This was because I know you were flirting with me. I went through the stages of grief and have finally come to acceptance.

I wish we could have been friends, instead of going MIA. You could have been the Barney to My Robin. We could have been a really great team, you and I.

I always say this all the time, "Do I regret some things"? Yes, absolutely, who doesn't? Do I regret meeting you? Absolutely not! I would meet you all over again, even the same exact way because this situation has made me grow as a person.

So maybe this is how it's going to be, maybe I will see you around our small little campus. We will see each other and we will make eye contact. Never say a word, while both of us thinking about what could have been. And I stupidly will question, what I did or what I could have done to prevent you from going "ghost". But we will never ultimately know because for some reason, when you get into a new relationship, you have to cut all ties with everyone you know. Why is that? Is it because the relationship has serious lack of trust? That is certainly not a good foundation for a healthy relationship.
