Caspering

The art of ghosting someone in a friendly way. When you don't have the heart to full on ghost them, so you start cutting and reducing all interactions until they take the hint and give up.

Take forever to reply and only give short responses that can't lead to further conversation.

Similar to gas-lighting but without the intention of possible future interaction. Letting someone down gently.

Friend: how did it go with that girl

You: she's nice but I don't want to see her again so I'm caspering her til she takes the hint
