- perl4ever 7y agoI looked at a used car at a new car dealer a year or two ago, and when I didn't follow up, they didn't just call me back, but they started calling two, three times a day, practically every day. They literally wouldn't give up until I answered the phone, even though I didn't want to talk to them because I was freaked out at how much they were calling. They didn't however, offer to sell it for $500. And I'm never, ever, buying a car from that dealer. In 50 years I will remember that, even if there was one bad apple salesman or one stupid boss who forced him to do it. So I think it's too glib to say dating and sales are different. Ghosting and people who won't take no for an answer are upsetting things that happen in both settings. People do both because they perceive it's in their interests.
