Blocking vs. Disengaging: What’s the Best Move for Self-Respect and Attraction?

When dealing with a girl who ghosts you, flakes on plans, takes days to respond or responds dryly to your texts, what’s the best course of action?

On one hand, blocking her feels like a power move that demonstrates self-respect and sets a clear boundary: you’re not tolerating low effort or disrespect. However, this completely eliminates the possibility of her reaching out again if she changes her behavior or interest level.

On the other hand, simply disengaging and never reaching out again feels less dramatic but leaves the door open for her to return if she’s genuinely interested later. Some might argue this approach avoids looking reactive or emotional.

From a seduction or self-development perspective, which option aligns better with maintaining frame, respect, and maximizing attraction? Does blocking ever come across as petty, or is it always the ultimate boundary-setting move?

Curious to hear how others approach this and what’s worked (or backfired) in your experience.
