Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s I often went to singles dances to try to meet a young lady to date. We used to refer to them as "meat markets". If someone danced with you, the next step would be to initiate a conversation. Very often, the young lady would say she has to go to the bathroom and stay there for several minutes. This meant that the young lady didn't want to meet the gentleman.
In this cell phone era, there are many dating apps. The man or women would post a photo and list their respective interests. The computer program would try to make matches. Since it is now over two years since Karen's untimely passing, I thought it would be OK to test the "dating waters". So far, I have checked out two dating apps. When a match is made, an online chat ensues. All of a sudden, the chatp ends. This is called ghosting. It means that the women does not want to talk over the phone or meet in person.
Thus, ghosting has replaced the bathroom line in the quest for dates.
