New dating terminology

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!
