From ‘ghosting’ to ‘FBO’ (Facebook
official), learning to speak ‘date’
is almost as hard as your Spanish
exam. Confused? Here’s the only
love lingo you’ll need this season.TEXTATIONSHIP (NOUN) The modern-day equivalent of having a pen
pal, but via your phone. You know their life story, they know yours. Yet,
no IRL date has been mentioned. Totally works for some, but if binge-
watching Catfish has taught us anything, it would be to proceed with
caution, or at least, a bit of Facebook stalking.BENCHING (ADJECTIVE) When you like someone, but you’re
just not sure. You continue dating, but remain open to others—
putting them on a metaphorical reserve bench. AKA; mean.
CUSHIONING
(VERB)
Protecting
yourself from
ever getting
hurt by keeping
a potential
partner (or
maybe three)
on reserve
while pursuing
someone you’re
really into. See

(VERB) Your ex
suddenly popping
up all over your social
media. They’ll begin
‘Liking’ your photos
from three years
ago and putting
winky emojis. When
they start tagging
you in memes and
following your
second cousin on
Twitter, it’s time to
call in a relationship
exorcist.
