DATING DICTIONARY

The modern romance terms we're loving

From ghosting (the act of suddenly disappearing) to orbiting (when an ex continues to interact with you on social media), dating terms are always evolving – and quite often come with a long list of negative connotations. Considering the heartache dating and relationships can cause, we get it, but if you’re looking to empower yourself while looking for love, clue up on these dating terms with a positive spin.
