What is prowling, yet another toxic dating trend?

About this episode

“You’re hot and you’re cold, you're yes then you're no, you're in then you're out, you're up then you're down.”  So goes Katy Perry’s hit single Hot n Cold back in 2008, talking about a romantic relationship which is unstable due to one of the partner’s mood swings. Maybe you yourself have been with someone like that in the past. They would shower you with attention one day, only to ghost you the next. There’s actually a term in the dating world for that kind of person: a prowler! Another perfect example from fiction is the character of Jasper in Nancy Meyers’ Christmas film The Holiday, played by Rufus Sewell. Check it out if you haven’t seen it!
