What is submarining in the dating world?

Об эпизоде

Many of the shady or downright forms of toxic forms of behaviour seen in modern relationships are actually nothing new, but the emergence of specific terms has helped us to pinpoint them better. Once you're in the know, it's much easier to spot them. With that in mind, let’s move on to the topic of today’s episode. As a single guy or girl, it's not uncommon to have someone you flirt with on and off, without things getting too serious. But it can sting if that person then disappears without a word, only to shamelessly re-emerge after a significant amount of time has passed, as if nothing ever happened. This kind of behaviour is now known as submarining, a term which several sources have credited Metro.co.uk for coining back in 2017. Isn't that just like ghosting? Why do people submarine?
