Probably not, but if a person is showing interest and you're not reciprocating the same feelings, then you should probably break it off.
You don't want to keep this person occupied if you know you're never going to feel the same way about them as they feel about you! Leading someone on is unfair and cruel.

In case you are not familiar with the biggest relationship trend of the last decade, ghosting, according to Urban Dictionary, is: When a person cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they're dating, with zero warning or notice beforehand. You'll mostly see them avoiding friend's phone calls, social media and avoiding them in public.
Many people believe ghosting is the coward's way out.

In case you need some more breakup advice, Psychology Today has some great tips for doing the deed:
- Break up in person!
- Be honest about your feelings and take responsibility for your decision
- Be certain about your reason(s) for breaking up and be clear
- Make a clean break - no more contact, no social media stalking, no late-night calls
- Don't break up in public
- Don't offer false hope
At the end of the day, no matter how bad you think it might be, just do it in person!
There is never a good enough reason to justify a text, email or Facebook post.
