Is this ghosting?

[Ghostingindating]

So I met a guy, went on 3 dates, I had a great time.
We talked on the phone a few times after that. Then he went out at the weekend with friends and sent me a photo. I replied saying , that it looked really nice where he was, and that was it.
Since then radio silence. That was 3 days ago.
However I haven't contacted him either because I sensed that he was losing interest.
So I wouldn't say he has ghosted me because I didn't actually ask him anything and I haven't contacted him since. I would have definitely went out with him again but obviously his silence is saying he's not interested.
So would you call this ghosting? Btw I've no intention of getting in touch with him.

It's Easter! Maybe he's spending it with family. You just don't know.

Give it a few more days. You sound very intense.

No

I should add, that I don't expect to hear from him again but I don't feel I've been ghosted. I think I would feel ghosted if I had asked him something and he hadn't replied.
For all he knows, I'm not interested either as he hasn't heard from me however I would have liked to see him again.

@MariaLuna thanks but I think it's pretty obvious he has lost interest, I was already getting that vibe from him a few days beforehand anyway.

@PolarPandaBear thanks, interested to know why you don't see it as ghosting?

Because it isn't

@PolarPandaBear you mean because I didn't ask him a question that he didn't reply to?

This hasn't happened you just haven't spoken for a few days. That's normal it's ok not to speak to someone every day.

@PolarPandaBear yes but I just know he's no longer interested, I can feel it. We spoke every day the last few weeks. The sudden energy shift is very noticable. One thing is for sure he will not be getting the chance to actually ghost me as I will never contact him again.

In fact if he contacts me, I'm ghosting him as I can't deal with flaky , half hearted , low effort men anymore.

Not messaging someone who isn’t trying to contact you isn’t ghosting. Ghosting is when one person starts ignoring the other person even when the other person is trying to make contact. You’re not being ghosted, he’s just not making any effort to get in touch with you.

I agree it's not ghosting as the conversation 3 days ago wasn't cut short as a result of a lack of response. I also agree he's lost interest. In my experience, if a man likes you they will make it really obvious. Don't get in touch with him again.

@MolkosTeenageAngst yes agreed, and I'm making no effort to get in touch with him. I don't know if there is a term for this .

I honk it’s just called drifting apart or losing interest in each other.

Ignoring?

It’s not anything. He just hasn’t been in touch for a few days, over the Easter break.

I agree with a previous poster, you sound quite intense.

It sounds like you perceive his lack of contact for three days as a personal rejection. As has been pointed out, it’s bank holiday weekend - he’s probably been busy doing other things. He hasn’t ghosted you, no.

It's Easter!? Many people will be spending it with their families. I think you are being a bit dramatic.

Yes but even if it's Easter, 3 days of not contacting someone is quite obvious that you're no longer interested.

It’s called making no effort, which is the exact reason you’re not interested in him.
Sounds like you both dodged a bullet!

I'm dramatic because it's just like deja vu, I know when someone is doing the slow fade , guess I'm just tired of it..It also stings because I liked him but my pride is too strong so I won't be getting touch , I already deleted his number last night

@Deathbyfluffy the thing is I am interested in him though and I'm a bit hurt that this has happened

What was he like before this night out? If there has been a dramatic drop in regularity of communication, I am going to have to disagree with previous posters, I don't think you sound intense at all. If he has suddenly dropped all contact then you have a right to question it.

That said, maybe it's a misunderstanding and he is thinking the same?

Maybe send a casual message asking how he is and see what happens? If you don't get a reply then atnleast you have tried and then move on.

Good grief, my DD has only heard from her long term bf once since Thurs..... It's a busy time for alot of people.

@Frazzledmummy123 thanks , yes I was feeling the lack of interest a bit before this happened. I am quite stubborn and proud so I won't be contacting him as it's likely he will not reply and then he really will have ghosted me.
