I fucking hate that term, but it happens a lot. I am probably "ghosted" by every single chick I talk to.

heres how it goes (ill make this real quick)

I meet them (I'm decent at approaching, and college town so lots of chicks) at bar/party/class etc. i talk/flirt, i make them laugh, i grab their phone number, i text them.

they either: a) don't respond initially,b) are very flaky about responding, or c) are super good at conversation until i ask them to hang out, to which please see section a)

and obviously if you try to get an answer out of them you are seen as being too forward, validating them, etc

don't be a dick in responding. any advice is appreciated
