Just for fun. Modern dating lingo, how many terms do you know? I'll start! Ghosting- when someone simply falls off the face of the Earth after they've established a relationship with you. Breadcrumbing- the act of keeping someone just interested in enough as to ensure a sexting session or booty call zombieing- having the person who ghosted you mysteriously appear after a long period of time.

Unfortunately I know what ghosting is. Noone can just reach out and be honest or at least do a Dear John. I do when it des not feel right. Serial dating when dating several at one time. That's ok until you find the right one then that needs to stop.

I will admit to Ghosting, when I was moving from the area and rather than explain anything, I just left town. We hadn't got serious, but I still feel bad to this day.

Ghosting has been around for a long time. It's much more common now because so many people on the internet have so little skin invested in an online relationship.

Sorry, I can't relate to any of this 😟 It must be my age!

I'm 52!

@Kojaksmom When you were a teenager, you probably had one-on-one dating. So, by comparison, how do you find online exchanges with its own lingo and behavior?

@Arielle I cry everyday!

@Arielle and in your day? - Arranged marriages? Incest? Inbreeding arising from the slowness of the horse and cart? Or simply swinging orgies?

@Kojaksmom What do you cry about? That the days of meeting real people and talking one-on-one are gone?

@FrayedBear I'm simply asking Kojaksmom a question? Is that ok with you?

@FrayedBear I'm not that fucking old! We didn't have internet dating. We had a little bit of a background on the men / women we dated. If we did go out on a blind date and usually was from a friend that set us up. So our friend was not likely to set us up with a complete asshole. So it's modern internet dating we have no clue and anything is possible.

@Arielle Ask away. Did my question to you suggest that you do otherwise?

@Arielle, @Kojaksmom the fact is my question is prefaced by @Arielle and asked of you not @Kojaksmom.

I thought returning after an absence, with no explanation, was called submarining.

Crap i've been bread crumbed for 2 and bit years. I like it though ♥

Interested in what other terms there are. I'm too old to know 😟

Nardi Level 7 July 2, 2018

Me too! I was hoping we all could learn. Time changes everything.

Half a century ago after being bread crumbed I changed my rules to "three dates and no progress then no more". Life is for living not being tugged around by someone else.
