‘I would never do that’

Drew Barrymore has revealed that she was ruthlessly ghosted following a recent first date.

Speaking on Monday’s episode of the “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the actress told her co-host Ross Mathews and guest Valerie Bertinelli that she had dinner with a mystery man earlier this month.

After the man asked for her phone number, the pair exchanged a few texts after their successful date.

“Since then, I texted him, and I was like, ‘Lovely to see you again the other night.’ We went back and forth twice, and then he ended with, ‘Haaaaa.’ And I haven’t heard anything,” Barrymore, 50, revealed.

“It just happens. I don’t know why. I don’t know why. I would never do that. It doesn’t cross my mind to behave like that. Like, if you put a fishing pole in it, why are you not going to follow through?”

The “50 First Dates” actress admitted that ghosting can happen to anyone.

“It does happen to all of us — the best of us. Good people who wouldn’t treat other people like that,” she said, per People.

“Today, my friend said, ‘Well, did he answer the ‘ha’ with one A?’ … And I was like, ‘No, it was like five or six A’s.’ And they were like, ‘Oh no, that’s great.’”

Matthews, 45, then chimed in, saying, “I do have to say, as a man … it is slightly more encouraging that he was like, ‘Hahahahaha.’ That means the conversation’s going. It wasn’t ‘Ha,’ period.”

“I’ll tell you what’s next: English. Like, just clear words. I don’t wanna date in a way that if I get four A’s, I’m in. I don’t know what that means. It’s cryptic out there, so let’s just not indulge in people who waste our time. Those people are actually time-savers,” Barrymore added.

The mom of two said ghosting can often corner people into a “critical place” and force them to mull over what went wrong.

“It could be a look in the mirror to yourself. It could be when you said something ridiculous, which I do all the time,” she admitted.

Still, the “Charlie’s Angels” star urged viewers not to be critical of themselves.

“And my God, if there’s one thing that the wisdom of my life is giving to me now at 50 years old, it’s to be a little … a lot kinder to ourselves,” she said. “You deserve nothing less than goodness.”

The “Wedding Singer” recently opened up about her dating history, specifically her divorce from Will Kopelman, with whom she shares daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10.

“Everything to me was very devastating and took me a long time to recover from if it wasn’t in the traditional family dynamic that I swore I would do for my family because I did not grow up that way,” Barrymore said of the pair’s 2016 divorce.

The actress added that the biggest adjustment she faced was becoming a single parent.
