> ghosting on your tinder date

What does this mean? Apologies if it's something obvious I should know; I'm not cool anymore so this terminology escapes me. :)

"ghosting" just means ending all interaction without warning. not necessarily in the context of a relationship. one can ghost a job, a friend, or even someone selling things on craigslist.

"He ghosted me after finding out I have kids."

Ghosting can also be situational.

For instance, you can ghost from a bar or party, which is essentially just disappearing without saying goodbye and trying to avoid anyone noticing you leaving. Also called an Irish Goodbye.

FWIW in Spain is a French goodbye

I've heard it as the Irish Goodbye as recently as the monologue of last week's Saturday Night Live with Saorise Ronan!

The phrase refers to when you are in the early stages of a relationship with someone you met online and stop sending any communication to them without notifying them beforehand.

The phrase is probably a bit hyperbolic here.
