Cultural Note
In Polish dating, being ignored ('bycie ignorowanym') is considered one of the most hurtful behaviors — sometimes worse than direct rejection. Poles value 'szacunek' (respect) in relationships, and ignoring someone is seen as a fundamental lack of respect. The colloquial phrase 'olewać kogoś' (to blow someone off) is even stronger.
