Even though dating has always been tough (Love is a Battlefield didn’t win a Grammy for no reason), modern dating is somehow even more complicated.
According to Andi Lew, wellness coach and author of Where’d They Go? Bringing Light to Ghosting Culture, thanks to technology – particularly apps and social media – speed dating is now quite literally on speed.
“With the rise in divorce rates and use of technology, we have found ourselves in a social revolution,” she says. “We [can now] use dating apps to connect with potential love interests from the comfort of our lounge while the kids are sleeping, or find time to court while at work,” explains Lew.
With this revolution comes a slew of challenges and a lexicon to match. Here are the dating terms you need to know (and watch out for!) to survive the dating game.
1. GHOSTING No, this is not the act of throwing a white sheet over your partner. Ghosting is, explains Lew, “Where you’re having an interaction with someone who just never replies to your texts, calls or emails ever again and suddenly vanishes into thin air.”
Ghosting may be a painful experience to be on the receiving end of, but Lew says it is a product of the current dating landscape.
