That leaving a person you've been chatting with on read is pure evil.

Here are some reply options for the future.

1. I changed my mind

2. I'm busy right now.

3. You are 34 on the list

4. I am a time wasting attention seeking human who has now moved on to someone else.

Leaving a person who thought you connected on read with no explanation is the worst thing ever. You deserve for your shoe heels to snap in front of an ex.

Life is too short to get hung up on these things. You're only making yourself angry /frustrated /sad.

People have busy lives and their interactions here with people until they get to know them better or meet them are never going to be high on the life priority list.

I think you need to manage your expectations a little actually.

Maybe they have just changed their mind and don't know how to tell you.

Maybe something has come up in life that means they are too busy to think about conversing or maybe they don't want or have the head space.

Maybe their perspective of the communication with you isn't the same as yours?

The list could be endless. Once you start worrying less about what others do on here, the better it becomes.

Move on

Pure evil

I would say that it's a standard practice for most people. Sometimes the conversation doesn't need a reply or naturally comes to an end. If your in the middle of a conversation though, then yeah that's rude but just delete and move on with your life pretty much.

Other possible options:

6. I have a life outside of Fabswingers that I must get on with.

7. Your multiple messages are now starting to irritate me.

8. I'm just trying to delete all the 'hows yous', 'hi', 'I'd love to lick your pussy' messages, so I might be a while.

You will never win this argument on here. There have been lots of threads on this and the comments, especially from the veterans, is to just ignore and move on and you are not entitled to have any exoectations etc etc. Actually it is all you can do, move on. Personally I do think, as one or two others said, that is rude if it happens in the middle of a conversation as there are always polite ways to retreat and tbh I would prefer a block. Everyone is different.Have a great day and don't let any of the replies on this thread get to you either. Some people sadly enjoy that too

Maybe the very fact that some people deserve the respect of time and not a rushed message so therefore it is left on read or unread until sufficient time can be given to continue the conversation.

Sorry OP but last time I checked the world doesn’t revolve around certain people who can’t understand that other people have lives away from fab

If someone’s interested enough they won’t be leaving you on unread. It could be life in the way, your message is buried under loads of others, or maybe they just not THAT into you. If you spend your time raging cos a convo dropped off you’ll go crazy.

No I don't think it's pure evil especially if they start saying things that make me uncomfortable.And especially if I have told them that what they are saying makes me uncomfortable or cringe and they stop for a while then start again. Then I stop chatting completely.

I think if it happens just because the other person has lost interest and is chatting to others then yes it's a bit shitty. But pure evil no. I learnt very early on not to invest much into chats until you actually meet someone and even then it can happen. If the other person isn't feeling it and there is nothing you can do about that.

You were talking to someone and in a 30 minute period discussed both meeting up and how they like it?

Dude likely finished his wank and moved on to the next chatty customer.

As for being left on read, un read or other forms of ignore.

Thats just the way of the online world. Expect nothing and you won’t be disappointed.

This isn’t fair. Leaving someone on read isn’t that bad. Ghosting someone sure. But people get left on read everyday. People’s lives are busy. People’s lives get in the way. People have bad days. Try again another day. Check in another time. It’s ok.

"This isn’t fair. Leaving someone on read isn’t that bad. Ghosting someone sure. But people get left on read everyday. People’s lives are busy. People’s lives get in the way. People have bad days. Try again another day. Check in another time. It’s ok. "

Brilliant point.

Ps this is how to engage in conversations

How long have been left on "read", OP? If it's a day or more, I get it, it's painful, the ambiguity of it. However, if it was only short time, unfortunately we have no control over real life. Meaning we may have intended to reply there and then but something happened in real life and we had to leave the world of Fab to attend to the issue.

Would it be better if the person read it, and then marked it as "unread" until they can come back to it??? Or maybe, OP, you should just delete your "sent" inbox and not worry about not getting a reply straight away? Fab is not instant messaging service (and yes, I had people getting annoyed with me when I did not reply to their message within seconds).

On reflection, I could have been more descriptive. What I meant to refer to is ghosting. "

Ghosting is not stopping chatting. To me anyhow ghosting is when you arrange to meet and they don't show or block you after you've met a few times. Stopping chatting is not ghosting.

Agreed. Ghosting is when an arrangement is made then all communication stops from one of the parties involved

Ghosting is often an overused word

Pure evil?....nah, not at all.

It just tells me they aren't interested and I move on.

This place is meant to be fun, if it's making you feel negative emotions then maybe take a break.

I am guilty myself of leaving people unread even though they're sexy and it's not for any other reason other than I mainly use this place for the forums and get distracted easily.

I'm not one for doing something if it feels even vaguely chore like unless it will benefit my life for the reals, like washing clothes and cleaning

I’ve sent about 8 in total. None requesting anything. 5 showing interest in meeting of which 1 got deleted, 1 replied “no thx” and other three are still unread. I like to think they have been read (and marked unread) and the person/people are going to decide what to do at a later date. At least they haven’t been deleted I suppose

This thread has really confused me..

No-one owes anyone anything..

They are like you free to do as they wish albeit right or wrong in your eyes...

Just because you've talked doesn't mean they want to carry on talking.

Maybe they thought they had not as much in common as they first thought?.

"I think "pure evil" is pushing it in the grand scheme of awful things people can possibly do to another person

Leaving a person who thought you connected on read with no explanation is the worst thing ever. You deserve for your shoe heels to snap in front of an ex. "

It's that assumption you made a connection with them. Aside from the fact real life gets in the way and there be a very genuine reason this has occurred.

Running to the forum to badmouth them has certainly ruined any potential for you now with them.

I do think places such as here make it easy for people to get carried away with chat and say things they've no intention to actually follow through

Some people don't know how to say sorry I'm bored with talking to you.

Some people don't like hearing sorry I'm bored with you.

Conversations fizzle out, or someone brand new and shiny comes along to attract the attention.

I can't agree that it's "pure evil".

People go quiet for all sorts of reasons - family, work, maintaining convos with other fabbers or just simply wanting some quiet time. Or something else completely. Who knows?

But getting worked up enough to post about it probably isn't the best thing. It's a nice weekend, and it'll be easy enough to head out and find something else to focus on.

I was in work this week, got home to 46 messages unread! This wasn't a usual day thank goodness, but it is impossible to keep up with so many messages and vanilla life too. What is evil is posting a variation someone gives you without reciprocation

"Seriously now. I think that they argument of "no one owes you anything" can be said for anything.

In real life, you wouldn't spend 30mins chatting with a person just to ignore them completely the next day.

Now the internet is a crazy place, but I think people can still be courteous.

When you say spend 30 mins chatting do you mean actually chatting or messaging? Just back and forth messages for half an hour?

Back and forth.

That to me is not a deep connection, they could of been having multiple conversations with others.

True but not if you were talking about meeting up in that 30mins and how they like it.

She/he was probably wanking off. "

This exactly….

Take it as a lesson learned, I don’t think I’d be talking to a random stranger and after 30 mins chatting planning meeting the same morning, afternoon, evening.

from my dad's left nut (Warwick)

"That leaving a person you've been chatting with on read is pure evil.

Here are some reply options for the future.

1. I changed my mind

2. I'm busy right now.

3. You are 34 on the list

4. I am a time wasting attention seeking human who has now moved on to someone else. "

This just smacks of a sense of entitlement, just because someone has chatted to me, they owe me nothing.

Don't forget ppl have lives away from fab which could have an Influence

Rule of rules. Nobody owes you a reply.

Pure evil is if if they track you down, write 34 on your bedroom window with their menstrual blood keeping themselves busy at the same time having anal with someone else (no #1) and moaning loudly "I changed my mind" alternating that with a maniac laughter.

You'll be fine. I promise. Just let go of some expectations.
