The reason for “ghosting” is often fear of commitment

She’s also been on dates that she regretted from the start, Barrymore said. She asked herself, “Oh god, why did I say yes to this dinner? Why don’t I realize: Don’t make dinner.” It’s tough sitting down with someone else when you only have so few nights off to yourself, said the actress, who has two daughters and has hosted her own talk show since 2020. “That alone takes away your desire to date.”
