Zombie-ing
BehaviorWhen someone who ghosted you reappears months later as if nothing happened.
What it means
Zombie-ing is the resurrection of a person who previously ghosted you — they message you out of the blue weeks or months later, often opening with a casual 'hey' or 'long time no talk.' Named because the dead conversation rises again. The pattern is more common than people expect, especially around holidays and dating-app boredom cycles.
