Halloween Crush and Ghosting

Lada recounts a Halloween crush that briefly felt like the start of a rom-com, but ended in another confusing ghosting story.

While celebrating Halloween in Krasnodar, she spotted a charming guy dressed as Tyler Durden from Fight Club. Too shy to do more, she complimented his costume and took a photo with him. The next day, her friend found his TikTok account. Lada sent him the photo with a joking—but not entirely joking—comment: “Tyler, I’m in love.”

After her TikTok messaging restriction was lifted, he contacted her and asked to meet. Excited by the coincidence, Lada shared her Telegram and tried to keep the conversation friendly and engaging. They talked about Halloween, costumes, TV shows, and hobbies. After about half an hour, he said his phone was dying and that he would message later. He never did.

Lada admits she obsessively checked his TikTok activity and reposts before eventually messaging him first. His replies were brief and unenthusiastic, and the next morning she discovered he had blocked her.

The Confusing Signals

The contrast between his behavior and his reposts left Lada especially baffled. He shared videos about loneliness, social awkwardness, and wanting company, along with posts about “hypergamy”—the idea that women only pursue a small percentage of especially attractive men.

Lada wonders why someone who says he is lonely would not talk to a person who is actively showing interest. She also jokes that his reposts seemed “sanitized” and admits she became a full-on TikTok detective.

The experience reminds her of other times when guys seemed interested, then withdrew as soon as she showed interest in return. She wonders whether she is doing something wrong, but says the unexplained block is what upsets her most. The story ends as a frustrated “free therapy session”: she feels discouraged about finding a relationship and wonders why the same pattern keeps repeating.
