#Fleabagging #Dial-Toning #WhiteClawing #Caspering The advent of dating apps and digital communication is still a brave new world — and this decade already has fresh names for the new ways people are dissing each other in the pursuit of love and sex. Ever since Charlize Theron  helped bring the concept  of “ghosting” into the mainstream in 2015, trendy words for the ways we can snub would-be, has-been and current lovers have evolved into an entirely new language. Here are four of the most depressing entries in the 21st century dating dictionary: Fleabagging To serially date people who just aren’t good for you. This latest one is inspired by Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s acclaimed BBC series “ Fleabag ,” in which the creator and actress can’t stop dating men who are a bad fit for her. One example:  a “hot priest .” Match dating expert Hayley Quinn tells  Cosmopolitan  that the trend is self-inflicted, explaining that “someone ghosts you, whereas you fleabag ...

A Timeline of How Online Dating Has Changed Over the Last 20+ Years

#Dating #Facebook #eHarmony #Tinder #OkCupid Online dating has come a long way in just a few decades. Match.com launched in 1995 — three years before Google — and became a pioneer in the pretty much nonexistent online dating scene. In those early days, it wasn’t clear online dating would be successful. The idea that singles could meet one another on the internet was a revolutionary concept viewed with skepticism and sometimes derision by the general public — at first. But by 2007,  online dating had become the second highest online industry  for paid content. How did this dramatic shift take place? The following movers and shakers in the industry had a hand in shaping online dating as we know it today. 2000: eharmony Takes a Psychology-Based Approach to Love Dr. Neil Clark Warren has had a long and impressive career as a relationship counselor, clinical psychologist, Christian theologian, and seminary professor, but, in 2000, he added online dating entrepreneur to...

#CellPhone #Dating #Deathbytext #Relationship #Texting #Textmessages  Dating couples often make the mistake of #texting everything, instead of talking on the phone or simply meeting in person. That's according to Claudia Duran, a Miami-based matchmaker with Elite Connections. Duran said the meaning of text messages can easily be misconstrued, and it can be hurtful when someone doesn't text back right away. Claudia Duran calls it "death by text." "Two people like each other and they're a little scared and they're a little hesitant," she said. "And so they text everything." Duran is a Miami-based matchmaker with  Elite Connections .
