Just when you think navigating the muddy waters of modern dating can't get any more complicated, a terrible new trend rears its ugly head.
Enter "submarining," the latest, nautically-themed way to mess with someone's head. First uncovered by Metro, submarining is the thing where someone you've been seeing disappears for an extended period but then randomly resurfaces with some version of a "Hey, what's up?" message.
SEE ALSO:Tindstagramming is the newest way to be a huge creepIt's in the same family as zombie-ing -- when an ex ghosts but then comes back, acknowledging their absence and wanting to start things back up again. In the case of submarining, though, you don't get even a half-assed apology for them being MIA. They just pop back on the radar as if nothing odd has happened.

But, sadly, there's not too much you can do to stop it from happening -- short of blocking someone preemptively on all platforms. You can at least take comfort in the fact that anyone who'd submarine you wasn't worth your time to start with.

UPDATE: This post has been updated to reflect that the trend was first covered by Metro, not Marie Claire as originally stated.
