What are the most common ones you’ve heard of and maybe some not so well known ones.

We got ghosting, submarining/zombie’ing, love bombing.

What other ones have you heard of?

*I don’t want to do people’s heads in with these threads or seem like I’m spamming, just there’s a fountain of knowledge on this site and I appreciate all responses*

When I was on Tinder/ Bumble I had quite a few people duck out at the last minute from a date over and over again so just gave up on those people. Not sure if that has a "hip" word for it

"What the hell is submarining? "

Submarining is when you’ve had dealings with someone possibly met them a few times and then they disappear without a trace or a word only to ‘resurface’ again and get back in touch weeks or months down the line as if nothing’s happened.

When someone ghosts you then gets back in touch months later. Also known as 'zombie-ing'.

Catfish, fizzing (when conversation 'fizzles' out usually mutually).

Negging. Had a few try it on here.

'Negging is an act of emotional manipulation whereby a person makes a deliberate backhanded compliment or otherwise flirtatious remark to another person to undermine their confidence and increase their need of the manipulator's approval'

My partners 13 year old daughter taught us about 'linking' which is when you talk to someone to get to know them a bit before you start dating

Any and all, with a brief description of what they are would be great.

My teens use the phrase 'move to' it means that someone is showing an interest in you.
