Dating Trend: Is Being ‘Zombied’ the New ‘Ghosted?’
When I think of the word “Zombified,” I think of the Falling in Reverse song by the same name. But, that’s not what I’m talking about here.
There’s a new dating trend, if you can call it that, called being “zombied.” It’s like being “ghosted,” but a bit different.
When you’re zombied, you don’t hear from your potential partner and think you’ve been ghosted. But, then, months later, they pop up again, trying to contact you and get back with you. I think this has happened to everyone, and it’s definitely happened to me, so now we just have a name for it!
Singer-songwriter Mariel Darling took to TikTok to talk about her experience being zombied. “It’s like ghosting, but he comes back from the dead after a couple of months and hits you up,” she said. No kidding!
