Online daters say getting 'zombied' is now scarier than 'ghosting' -
Viral social media posts have increasingly declared the dating scene in large U.S. cities a “zombie apocalypse” since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Last year, growing reports of “ghosts” returning as “zombies” to haunt the lonely hearts they brushed off long ago prompted the website Datingadvice.com to add “zombieing” to its list of modern dating terms.
“The zombies I’ve known were looking to perhaps apologize briefly and start things up again, but they were knocking on a door they’d already closed, and I’d bolted it behind them,” Ms. Brooks, 32, told The Washington Times. Like ghosting, zombieing is a rude behavior that arises from the online anonymity of not having to look another person in the eye while messaging on apps like Match.com or eHarmony, dating experts say.
It’s wise to ignore, delete and block zombies because they rarely return with the realization that they made an honest mistake in ghosting someone earlier, he added in an email. Today the experience usually occurs when a former dating contact suddenly reaches out again through a dating app or through a social media friend request or comment on a post.
