esquivar
Used when someone is intentionally dodging you to avoid a responsibility or facing up to an uncomfortable situation. It is the act of being slippery, whether by disappearing from usual hangouts or ghosting messages when it is time to pay a debt or have a serious talk.
I have messaged that guy three times to get my money back, but he is really trying to esquivar me and he is not even answering my WhatsApp anymore.
