017 Benching Zombies and Pocketing Paperclips: New Age Dating

from The Wisdom of Sex with Dr. Wisdom · host Dr. Heather Wisdom, PsyD LMHC

Have you ever felt strung along by someone’s mixed signals, like you’re chasing crumbs of affection? Or maybe you’ve been ghosted—only for them to reappear like some kind of emotional zombie. And let’s not forget the pain of being someone’s secret, hidden away from the world. These aren’t just bad dating days; they’re toxic trends—breadcrumbing, zombieing, and pocketing—and they’re wreaking havoc on modern relationships. Today, we’re breaking them down and talking about why they happen, how they hurt, and what you can do to protect your heart.
