"going dark" is just code for NC or 180. The 180 is a somewhat codified list. But it's all more or less the same: stop giving to a broken relationship; set up boundaries; be less available and a mystery.
Look at the 180 in my signature block below. With the 180 you do talk to the other person. You just do not beg them and carry on like you have a broken heart. You also start working on yourself and show the other person that you are bettering yourself. Also look at Plan A..it's a lot like the 180.
No contact is exactly that. No contact. If contact is necesary it's very brief and avoided as much a possible. Lokat at Plan B for more on NC.
