According to TikToker Maddie (@maddswatts), one guy took ghosting to legendary levels. He thought he could disappear, but a community of women called him out, bringing him forth into the spotlight.
So, Maddie matched with a guy from Austin, Texas, on a dating app and sent him a message with her phone number. He did not respond right away, but to her surprise, he ended up texting her.
She told him that she had dinner reservations at a restaurant that weekend and invited him to join her. She didn’t hear from him the entire weekend, so she just cut her losses. She did look him up online and found him immediately.
Based on his social media, he seemed like a great guy with lots of friends. But as Maddie was scrolling through his account, she noticed a girl in many of the pictures.
It seemed like they could be a couple, but she brushed it off because it wouldn’t make sense for someone to be on a dating app if they were in a relationship.
Maddie was determined to meet this man and kept texting him. Finally, he responded after several months. He told her that his work schedule was crazy, but he wanted to go out for breakfast on the weekend.
He picked her up and took her to a bagel shop. He paid for the bagels, but the conversation was absolutely awful.
“This man did not ask me one single question. When I tell you, he did not reciprocate the conversation at all,” Maddie said. “And this was my first time experiencing this. I have since realized this is an epidemic.”
When the date ended, he offered to take her back to her hotel, as she was there visiting the city. He then asked if he could come up to her room and help her pack.

Very shortly after that, they started making out. She was playing with his hair when he fell asleep in the middle of their makeout session, exhausted from working the night before.
She woke him up and told him to go home and rest. He dropped her off at a coffee shop, where she waited for her flight, and gave her a kiss goodbye on the forehead. After that, she never heard from him again.
Later, she saw a post about this guy, describing him as a serial ghoster. Apparently, he was exclusive with this one girl, but was talking to multiple girls behind her back and ghosted her. It was the same girl Maddie saw in his pictures.
Maddie reached out to the girl and shared her experience. Hundreds of other comments under the post repeated similar stories. Eventually, this guy found out that he was being put on blast, so he blocked all the women he had ghosted on every social media account.
“The part that I love about this is a lot of us girls have become pretty good friends after this whole entire debacle,” Maddie said. “I met up with a couple of girls one time when I was in Austin, and I love talking to them. I’ve seen them multiple times since.”
So, in a way, this guy’s terrible dating behavior created something kind of beautiful: a support network of women bonding over an experience. When women talk, the truth always comes out!
