Does This Beach Make Me Look Fat?: True Stories And Confessions
“ The Mutual Fade-Out By Francesca I just pulled off the greatest trick of any dater: the mutual fade-out.
This is the holy grail of the socially anxious. The royal flush of the reluctant in romance. The coup de grâce of the codependents.
For those who aren’t familiar, a fade-out is when you’re dating someone who you don’t want to see anymore, so you just gradually stop returning their calls and texts until they give up on you. No explanation, no honesty, no opportunity for personal growth, no ...closure, just … a relationship fade to black. It’s the path-of-least-resistance method of breaking things off. It’s cowardly, really.
That’s why people love to do it.
But the mutual fade-out is the only way to get away with the blow-off guilt-free, because you both do it to each other at exactly the same time.
I thought it was urban legend.
In the past, I’ve resisted the siren song of the fade-out. The thought of leaving a guy wondering what happened and feeling bad about himself gives the codependent in me a cold sweat, so I’ve always forced myself to offer a tactfully vague goodbye.MoreLess
