Ghosting is awful.
It’s one of those dating trends that can hit really hard especially if you’ve fallen for the person that has straight-up erased you from their life.
It was all going so well and poof! it’s over.
It sucks and it’s a horrible way to treat someone – however, this might be worse.
As shown by Twitter user and MTV journalist Eric Dimitartos, this trend is far more controlling.
Eric shared a screenshot on social media of a message exchange and captioned it: “*Goes on first date, scared he’ll ghost but instead gets this text*.”
Here it is:

Yeah. Way worse.
Everyone called out the exchange for being extremely toxic, never mind exceptionally creepy. It caused outrage on Twitter, with many people saying it is a major red flag:

Had to google what “read receipt” means. Throwing my phone in the garbage.

Would you cut someone out of your life if they messaged you something like that?
