What if we all took a pledge to stop ghosting and to commit to dating the way we wanted to be dated? Before we head into Season 14, let's band together to stop dating from going down a dark path by starting a new dating manifesto. We discuss problematic dating terms like ghosting, zombie-ing, roaching, benching, and breadcrumbing, why these dating behaviors are happening in today's dating world, and how we can start to replace these terms with good dating behaviors.
