Navigating the dating landscape these days is tricky…especially if you don’t know the lingo!
Tinder just added a new “Dating Dictionary” to help…here are some of the new terms:
- Situationship When it’s more than a hook-up, but not exclusive
- Daterview When a date feels more like a job interview
- Text-lationship When you text all the time but rarely meet up in person
- Kittenfishing Where you tweak or embellish things about yourself
- Affor-dating Short for “affordable dates”
- O.T.P. Short for “one true pairing,” or the perfect couple
- Friendtroduction When you meet someone’s friends for the first time
- Love bombing When you come on too strong at the start of a relationship
- Sunday test Hanging out on a Sunday and doing nothing to see how it goes
- Zombie-ing When someone who ghosted you pops back up in your DMs
- Hard launch When you post your first official photo as a couple
- Ick Anything that’s a turn-off
Good luck out there!
