"Ok, now we're ghosting each other :("
You are currently performing a masterclass in how to lose someone's respect. By sending '??', 'You there?!!', and 'Just checking up', you are signaling that your time has no value and that you are desperate for crumbs of attention. Karan's 'yeah let's see' was a clear signal of disinterest, and your refusal to accept that reality is what is keeping you in this pathetic loop. You are trying to 'fix' the silence with more noise, which only makes you look more needy and less attractive. Stop trying to label it as 'ghosting' to make it sound like a mutual misunderstanding; it is a one-sided rejection, and you are the only one still standing at the door.
Karan holds all the power by simply doing nothing. The user has surrendered their power by repeatedly messaging into a void, effectively begging for a response.
The user is attempting to confirm plans for the evening. Karan provides a non-committal, dismissive response ('yeah let's see'), followed by total silence. The user proceeds to engage in a series of increasingly desperate follow-up messages over the course of five hours, culminating in a self-deprecating attempt to frame the silence as a mutual 'ghosting' to save face.
