Someone Ghosted Me — What Now?

I matched with someone, things were going well, and then they just disappeared completely.

How long we'd been talking: [DAYS / WEEKS]
How things felt: [e.g. we had a date planned / it felt like it was going somewhere / casual but consistent]
What happened just before they went quiet: [DESCRIBE or 'nothing obvious']
What I've done since: [sent a follow-up / nothing / doubled down]

Give me a direct, honest guide:
1. **Why people ghost** — the most likely reason based on what I've described (not the charitable version, the real one)
2. **Whether to send one final message** — the honest case for and against, and exactly what to say if yes
3. **If I've already followed up and heard nothing** — what that silence actually means
4. **How to stop refreshing their profile** — the mental shift to make
5. **What this says about compatibility** — what to screen for earlier next time
6. **The action to take today** to start actually moving on
