Unless you have been living under a cave, you should know that by now there are certain phrases people in the dating scene use to describe different situations and the scenarios they encounter.
As 2019 comes to an end, new terms continue to pop up and it can be quite a headache if you have no idea what the other person is talking about. Just when you thought dating couldn’t get any more complicated, it does!
Should you find yourself back in the sea looking for a new catch, here are some terms that can help you maneuver the dating sport.
1.Benching
This term is used to describe stringing potential partners along. In benching, people might pay more attention to one person or the other depending on who they like more at a particular time. As feelings grow on one side, it’s likely that the other person will gradually be cut off.
2.Orbiting
Orbiting is when someone you broke up with or stopped dating for one reason or another tries to get your attention on social media. They will purposefully like your pictures, view your status and comment on your pictures in order to remind you that they exist. Since you no longer have direct contact with them, social media becomes the only option to keep you hooked.
3.Peacocking
This term describes showing off to get a woman’s attention. When male peacocks strut around and display their beautiful feathers, it’s an attempt to impress a female peacock. When you translate this to the human world, men will often try to attract a woman by flaunting themselves-money, looks, cars etc.
