Include your name and email and your thoughts or quote. I may need to reach out to get a fuller quote depending on the article’s needs. Thank you!

Summary: How To Properly Ghost Someone – How to let someone go in the age of online dating

  • Category: Lifestyle and Fitness
  • Email: query-f463@helpareporter.net
  • Media Outlet: Her Campus
  • Deadline: 7:00 PM EST – 31 March

Query: Working on an article that does a deep dive on how to properly ghost someone that isn’t just falling off the face of the planet or sending the classic “I’m just looking for something casual right now” text. It can be hard to end something and have to see the potential hurt you caused but it’s the right thing to do and I’m looking to share the psychology of what happens to both individuals when you end things respectfully vs the consequences when you don’t.

Requirements: Looking for a psychologist or relationship expert that is well versed in the in’s and out’s of online dating and current Millennial / Gen Z dating behaviors such as hookup culture and ghosting.

Summary: Looking for experts who can speak on the impact of Instagram stories on friendships

Query: I’m looking for individual experiences and to speak with a mental health expert on ways Instagram stories have changed friendships. I’m open to hearing any/all experiences but also need an expert to share insight into the “psychology” of these experiences as well

  1. How people can tell when others have lost interest via not watching their story anymore, or maybe they watch your stories but haven’t texted you back in days.
  2. Friends posting passive-aggressive therapy speak infographics instead of addressing someone directly, finding clues and information about your friend, larger friend group, partner, etc, through piecing together videos or info shared through stories.
  3. An extended friend group thinking they know you better than they actually do (parasocial relationships).
