Why did I get ghosted?

[Jae]

("I'm actually a psychiatrist, so it's something I do for a living"). We read others better, differently then we do ourselves, wouldn't you agree? As you said, "we let our guard down." We do and we do it often. We see something in someone that gave a signal that they are interested in knowing more about you and visa-versa. But then this happens, leaving you, us guessing, "did I really see something or what?" It sounds like you might be better served by yourself if you leave this relationship docked in port as you walk away from this ship for the last time. Or you can always go to the captain and say what you have said here, see how he responds. If there is nothing there, you'll know it. Your bags are packed already all you have to do is leave, set your sights on other travels.
