I was so bummed when a cute guy ghosted me – then I found out the real reason I never heard from him

A SINGLE woman was thrilled to meet a “gorgeous” man at a party who kissed her and asked for her number – but then he never called.

After days of feeling angry and insecure about not hearing from him, she learned the truth after stalking him on LinkedIn.

The anonymous woman shared her story on Reddit, explaining that she met the man at a party a couple of weeks ago.

“In walks this guy who immediately gave me this really big smile and I thought he was so gorgeous,” she said.

“We ended up talking in the same circle and he introduces himself. We start chatting and quickly find the circle around us has disappeared and it is just us.”

The woman was smitten, describing him as “so smart” with an “outrageously cute” smile.

“I love how he seems laser-focused on me instead of one of the many attractive women that have now joined the party and are talking about their cool Raya dates,” she went on.

It wasn’t just sexual attraction – she said she felt comfortable around him and was touched when he noticed she was having an allergic reaction to the host’s dog and moved her outside.

“At the end of the night, we catch an Uber home together and end up kissing. Before the Uber drops him off, I give him my number,” she said.

But the next day, Sunday, she didn’t hear from him. Monday and Tuesday still brought no messages.

“Wednesday comes and I’m a mixture of angry and over it and insecure all at the same time,” she wrote. “How dare he lead me on like this!”

Still upset, she searched for him online and ended up on his LinkedIn page – and he got a notification that she viewed his profile.

“Not thirty minutes later he friends me on LinkedIn, but seems surprised that I was reaching out,” she said.

“He had evidently texted me that night, and again the next day, only to not hear anything back. I had ghosted him.”

That’s when she realized what happened: She gave him the wrong phone number, off by one digit.

Fortunately, the story ended up having a happy ending.

“If I hadn’t been a creepy LinkedIn stalker, it could have been months, if ever, before we would have seen each other again,” she said.

“Right now we’re laughing about it and setting up our first real date.”
