Isn’t it excruciating to scramble out of a broken relationship? The more you are sensitive, the more you feel broken. From Breadcrumbing to Zombieing, these dating terms will help you and keep you aware of modern dating. So here’s a list of terms to know before leaping into dating.
Breadcrumbing
Breadcrumbing is when someone keeps appearing with flirtatious messages but without the real intention to follow the relationship. It’s often done by exes when you’re trying to move on.
Pocketing
Pocketing is when your partner hesitates to introduce you to his/her family, despite being in a relationship for a long time. Maybe they’re not interested in a long-term relationship.
Wokefishing
What if someone is just pretending to be a supporter of the same political and social views you have in an attempt to attract you and trap you? That’s wokefishing! Don’t trust the person behind the screen.
Orbiting
Your partner has ghosted you with the intention to stop the relationship, but continues orbiting around your social media by liking and viewing your posts. That’s orbiting!
Roaching
Roaching is cheating! If you ever find someone who secretly dates multiple people without informing his/her new lover, that’s roaching!
Eclipsing
Eclipsing is when someone dangerously gets out of their comfort zone to fit in with the partner’s personality traits. This can eventually scrape off one’s identity and dreams.
Benching
With benching, you stay as a mere option. Your Partner neither wants to get truly committed nor wants to completely remove you. Thus, keep fuelling love only to keep you as an option.
Textlationship
Textlationship is a relationship that lives solely through texting. Partners in textlationship rarely meet in person. The rise of innumerous dating apps have fuelled textlationships.
Groundhogging
Groundhogging is going after the same kind of people but by expecting different results only to end up being shattered again and again.
Zombieing
Zombieing is the amalgamation of fleabagging and ghosting. If your ex shows up after ghosting as if nothing really happened, then they’re zombieing you.
Sober Dating
This allows you to avoid drugs and alcohol while dating in an attempt to water an authentic relationship by being present in the moment with a clear mind.
Paperclipping
Paperclipping can be deeply frustrating. Even after cutting off the relationship, they show up only to make themselves feel better by sending sporadic messages, but then disappear again.
