She vanished without a word… and now she’s back like nothing happened.
What do you do?
In this episode of A Gentleman’s Guide, I break down the confusing dynamic of ghosting followed by a sudden return.
I share two personal stories — one romantic, one platonic — and explore what motivates this behaviour, how to interpret it, and most importantly, how to respond without losing your self-respect.
We’ll cover:
- Why people ghost and come back months later
- The most common (and flimsy) excuses
- How to tell if she’s sincere — or just seeking validation
- The three ways to respond (and when silence is best)
- Why outcome independence is the real superpower
If you’ve ever had someone dip out and reappear like nothing happened, this episode is for you.
