Dating can be complicated without all the dating trends you should probably keep up with.
It gives rise to insecure feelings that take time and effort to deal with.
Think for a minute that you’ve been ghosted.
The person you went on a few dates with has stopped communicating with you without an explanation.
Not in a meaningful or real way, but in a creepy sense.
You feel their presence lurking on social media, like a dark mist that won’t go away.
It’s easy to see how this would leave you feeling even more confused than when you were ghosted.
Enter the name and definition for this new dating phenomenon haunting.
But the unpleasant feelings that arise with it can be equal to if not worse than being ghosted.
You’re going about your day innocently before you pick up your phone to see a notification.
That was the second time this week.
Do they still have feelings for you?
Are they wanting to rekindle things?
These are some of the conflicting thoughts that the notification might bring up.
Just when you thoughtghosting and zombieing were spooky trends,in comes haunting with its creepy vibes.
Why do people haunt and how can you deal with it?
Most experts would agree that haunting says more about the person doing it than you.
Chris Armstrong, founder of Maze of Love, toldBustlethat haunting can also be a sign of controlling behavior.
Whatever the reason, choosing to respond to it is not the best idea.
Finding ways to detach yourself from it is the only healthy way to get past it.
