[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went on what I thought were 5 great dates: constant easy, engaging conversation and good physical chemistry then all of a sudden he disappears. Why do men do that?[/quote]

You are casually dating.  Five dates is not a relationship.  He does not owe a reason after 5 dates. Nor do you.  He's just not that into you.

Honestly even up to 8 - 10 - 12 dates is casual dating.

Have low expectations.  Enjoy the dates.  Dating should be light, enjoyable, low pressure. etc.

Five dates is still casually dating, meeting other people, non exclusive etc.  [b]He does not owe you any explanation nor would you in the reverse situation

If you have a minimum of respect for others, you should at least say a few words. I can't stand people who think ghosting is normal. [/quote]

This.  I don't understand how the dating norms have shifted so much in the last 20 years that now, not only is it expected that the person you are seeing will be seeing and sleeping with other people for the first six months of your relationship, but that during this time they are entitled to just stop responding to your texts or calls, and you are considered weak and pathetic for expecting a polite good bye.  What the hell is wrong with people?

Christ, I had the courtesy to call my dentist to let them know i was going to start seeing another dentist.

Point is: The guy in OP's story may have had a ton of valid reasons to go from dating to not dating.  But he owed her a damn phone call or text.   [/quote]
