Because we live in a world where EVERYTHING has to have a cute little nickname, Plenty Of Fish put together their annual list of dating trends they expect to see in 2021 and gave them all clever monikers.
- Fauci-ing. It means “declining to date someone because you don’t feel they’re taking the pandemic seriously enough.
- Maskerading: Where you PRETEND to care about masks & Covid, just to get dates.
3. Apocalysing: Treating every relationship like it’s your last, and getting too serious too quickly. (sounds like some of my ex-gfs)
4. Zoomlandering. Apparently, this is when people can’t stop checking themselves out in the camera when they’re on a Zoom meeting.
5. Sanitizing: When you delete photos and wipe all evidence of all your past relationships from your social media.
6. Stalk-Blocking: When you make ALL of your social media accounts private, so that potential dates/mates can’t research you first.
7. The “Hey & Pray”: When you play the numbers game on dating apps, but just spamming a bunch of people with things like “hey” or “hi” and hope for the best!
