I hope you enjoyed this fucked up tale of love and woe - as this is dating in our modern world. As well, you must know that the roles can be reversed and that boys have also been heartbroken in the same way.
I leave you all with this:
To come into someone's life with glorious, profound gestures and words, only in the name of trickery and deception is a crime punishable by all forms of Karma - and she will find you.
Shame on all of you out there who find it "ok" to "ghost" someone whom you've claimed to care about or get to know. For this is without question the most cowardly act, and one of the lowest forms of existence any human can take. Instead, take comfort in the fact of knowing that life can and will go on without you, So, have the guts to be human, even when it hurts. Because it takes more courage to be kind than to be cruel.
