Lingo to help you decode today's dating terminology
Relationships and dating culture have evolved over the years. Thanks to technology , not just ways to love but terms used to express love have also advanced. From Baby to Bae, the language of dating has been in a constant flux.Here's the lingo to decode today's dating practices.
BAE
First it was `Baby'.Then it was `Boo' and now it's `Bae'.BAE is nothing but a slang for `Before Anyone Else' and is used for the partner who you are head over heels in love with.
SLAYING
A person who often slays in a relationship isn't really the one to fall in love.Such people have one end goal, and that's scoring. Oh, and they want that roll in the hay with no strings attached.
BENCHING
Has someone called you for three days in a row, and then vanished? Well, then he was `Benching'.When a person is inconsistent in expressing his love, he is said to be `Benching' you. It simply means that he likes you, but hasn't made up his mind about what he wants, and doesn't know how to tell you this.
CUFFING SEASON
Cuffing season is most popular during winter.It's the period when temperature drops and the desire to be paired up or `cuffed' up is high.
GHOSTING
Dating apps and socialmedia stalking may help you get things going initially but guess what, breaking up is still hard to do. That's when some people opt for Ghosting. Also called as Swayzeing, it gets its name from the classic 1990 movie Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. It refers to those guys or girls who go incommunicado after a few dates to avoid that person and find an easy way out of the relationship.
DTR
In today's dating world, a couple's relationship status can be murky. There comes a point when status can be murky. There comes a point when one needs to sit down with their partner and understand which direction their relationship is heading towards. In other words they need to DTR -Define The Relationship.
TEXTTATIONSHIP
It's a term used for couples who have an entire relationship without ever meeting. Yeah, it's all about texts. Such relationships don't usually make it to dates. Instead, you'll have long conversations, flirt sessions and maybe even texts that will steam up the screen.
SWERVING
Swerving implies dodging someone you're not interested in. Now, we've all done it at some point, and honestly, sometimes it is the only way out, though it's best to avoid this whenever possible.
