There's now proof ghosting is favoured by Gen Z, with over 70 per cent using the tactic on a would-be partner.
The stats were compiled by Paddy Power Bingo.
Ghosting - a modern day dating practice - is when all forms of communication are suddenly cut.
Many single millennials and Gen Z-ers have admitted to ghosting, as they're too nervous to break if off face-to-face.
People from other generations are more content with confronting their romantic partner, with just 34 per cent of Generation X (those aged 40 to 55) saying they had ghosted.
This drops to just 20 per cent of baby-boomers (aged over 55) who had ghosted someone.
