its like ghosting but more brutal, cause they wanna seem nice, maybe they take days, or even weeks, to reply to your last WhatsApp message.
But instead of leaving you hanging (Like a ghostwrited would ), a curver will reply, but their responses will be sporadic, closed off and often apologetic e.g. βIβm so sorry for not textin, Iβve just been really busy with insert predictable excuse hereβ.
Of course, they really might have been too occupied with work, family, friends, or the washing up to take a minute out of their day to message to you ....... or not
itβs been seven weeks since I saw him and Iβve only heard from him five times , but I still ainβt sure if he is curving me or not!
Most of the time a girl does it to a guy, but it can happen the other way too. Basically the person gives you a strong sense that they like you by sending all of the 'common signals' (laughing, twirling hair, eye contact, etc...) Then when you ask them out, they say no and frequently make fun of you.
A lot of the time, popular girls do this for fun because hurting people's feelings is now considered a legitimate pastime in our corroded society.
