Ghosted IRL

Most people get ghosted over text. One day the other person just stops replying, refuses to answer your calls, or blocks you on all your social media. It’s not fun to be ghosted, but apparently, there are worse ways to break up with someone. This person didn’t take the easy way out. They set up a full date and even showed up before they ghosted their partner.

Getting up to get popcorn is usually not a sign of breaking up, but I guess it can be. It just seems strange that this guy made all the effort to plan a date, get the tickets, show up, sit down, and get up to get popcorn before leaving. At that point, why show up at all? Did he think this way might be easier? If anything, it made things that much harder!
