Hi JNNFE, welcome to PC. Hmmm, sorry to hear your daughter is struggling to get past this guy that went out with her and then suddenly ghosted her. It sounds like even though she didn't really love him she can't get over losing the control she had or being rejected. It can be hard when as a parent we want to find something to say that takes this challenge away, but unfortunately as you have discovered for yourself often there is nothing we can say that helps and we are left having to watch our child suffer through it.

Some guys are just jerks and can date a girl that is worthy of being loved and is beautiful etc and the guy for whatever reason drops her and goes out with someone else and may even do the same to this other girl too. I actually remember guys that did that year ago when I was that age. Your daughter is going to have to learn that it's not always about her and as you said, she wasn't crazy about the guy anyway, and to be honest, he probably felt she wasn't so he gave up and is trying someone else and she may not be all that into him either, AND SO IT GOES. That's the dating scene and your daughter has to find a way to accept that and move on instead of hiding and wasting emotional energy.
