The world of online dating can seem like an unfamiliar country—filled with possibility and excitement, but sometimes hard to navigate. For the uninitiated, an alphabet-soup of abbreviations (WTF does DTR mean?) and a dictionary’s-worth of terminology (what is catfishing, anyway?), not to mention all those emojis (eggplant, anyone?) can be intimidating. Think of this guide as a pocket translator.
The language of online dating relies heavily on abbreviations. Having a handle on the most common ones can help conversation with your crushes flow.
o DDF – Drug and disease free. For many people, the lowest bar a potential date has to clear (alcohol and cannabis often don’t count!)
o DTF – Down to fuck. If someone is DTF, they’re ready to get physical
o DTR – Define the relationship. If you’ve been on a few dates and want to know where things are heading, it might be time to DTR
o FBO – Facebook official. When you’ve defined the relationship and you’re ready to share your status with the world, it might be time to go FBO
o FWB – Friends with benefits. An FWB is a friend and a sex partner, usually without
expectations of exclusivity or long-term commitment
o IRL – In real life. If you’ve clicked online, it might be time to arrange an IRL date to see if the chemistry translates
o LDR – Long distance relationship. Online interaction can help those in an LDR stay connected while they’re apart
o MBA – Married but available. This term can be used by someone in an ethically non-monogamous partnership—or someone seeking an affair
o NRE – New relationship energy. If your new partner’s got you feeling that giddy, head-in-the clouds intensity, you’re experiencing NRE!
o NSA – No strings attached. A relationship that’s all about the sex, no definitions or commitments necessary
There’s a whole lexicon of slang devoted to the ins and outs of meeting online—particularly its more unwelcome aspects. As in every area of life, communication, respect, and clear boundaries are key to safe and satisfying interactions online.
o Benching – If you’ve been “benched,” you’re stuck on the sidelines as your potential date’s backup plan
o Breadcrumbing – When someone’s not really interested, but keeps giving you just enough encouragement—flirtatious messages, compliments—to keep your hopes up
o Catch and Release – Making enough of an effort to hook someone—only to drop them once they show interest
o Catfishing – The use of deceit—fake pictures, a padded resume—to generate interest from potential matches
o Curve – To curve someone is to reject them in an up-front, straightforward manner
o Cushioning – Similar to benching, cushioning is the practice of keeping several potential dates on-hand as a “cushion” in case things don’t work out with the person you’re really into
o Ghosting – The abrupt, unexplained disappearance of someone you’ve been messaging (or even meeting) with
o Slow Fade – A more calculated form of breadcrumbing, the “slow fade” occurs when someone ends a relationship by gradually reducing contact
o Submarining – When someone ghosts you, only to resurface weeks or months later, acting like nothing happened
You’ll come across lots of terms describing gender and sexual orientation . While it may seem confusing, a respectful attitude and a willingness to learn are key. If you’re unsure about someone’s pronouns or gender identity, pay attention to how they describe themselves and follow their lead. And if you’re still unsure—ask! Most people are open to respectful questions asked in good faith. 
o Agender – Someone whose identity exists outside of gender constructs
o Aromantic – Someone with little-to-no romantic desire for others
o Asexual – Someone who lacks sexual desire for other people (but may still be interested in romantic or platonic partnerships)
o Bi – Attracted to more than one gender
o Bi-curious – Someone whose primary sexual experiences/identification have been heterosexual, but are interested in exploring their same-sex attraction
o Butch – Someone who identifies as masculine in appearance or mentality
o Cisgender – A cisgender, or cis, person’s gender corresponds to the gender they were assigned at birth
o CD – Crossdresser. Someone who enjoys adopting the dress of a gender other than their own
o Demi – Demisexual. Someone whose sexual attraction to others is dependent on getting to know them on a more-than-superficial level
o Femme – A person who identifies as feminine-leaning in appearance or mentality
o Gender fluid, genderqueer – Often used interchangeably, these terms describe someone who is neither male nor female, but somewhere along (or entirely outside of) the spectrum of binary gender
o Intersex – An intersex person is someone who was born with hormonal or sex characteristics that vary from what is typical for a “male” or “female” body
o Nonbinary – Similar to gender fluid or gender queer, a nonbinary person doesn’t fit into the binary categories of “male” or “female”
o Pan – Short for “pansexual,” meaning attracted to humans, regardless of gender or sex
o TG – Transgender. Someone whose gender differs from the gender they were assigned at birth
o They – Singular pronoun that may be used by agender/nonbinary/gender queer/gender fluid individuals
o Queer – An umbrella term that describes anyone who doesn’t fit into rigid categories of binary gender or heterosexuality
In addition to potentially unfamiliar terminology used to describe gender and sexual expression, there are many terms that describe relationship styles, preferences, and configuration.
o D/s – A relationship between a dominant (“Dom”) and a submissive (“sub”), in which a mutually agreed-upon power imbalance is central to the relationship
o Ethical non-monogamy – When partners share an agreement that allows one or both to pursue other sexual or romantic partners. In contrast to cheating, ethical non-monogamy relies on open communication and careful negotiation of boundaries
o Monogamish – A mostly monogamous relationship that allows for occasional sexual exploration with other partners
o Open relationship – Similar to ethical non-monogamy, an open relationship allows one or more partners to seek sexual partners outside of the primary relationship
o Poly – Polyamorous. Can describe a sexual identity (someone who prefers to have multiple committed relationships) or a relationship configuration (a relationship with more than two participants)
o Relationship anarchy – An approach to relationships that rejects hierarchies and rules
o Third – The “guest star” in a threesome or hook-up with a couple
o Triad – A relationship between three (usually equal) partners
o Unicorn – A woman who is ready and willing to participate as a Third in a threesome with a straight couple (so called because they are so rare as to be almost mythical!)
No discussion of online dating terms would be complete without a nod to the mighty emoji. Here’s a quick breakdown of the sexiest ones!
o Eggplant – Plump, glistening, and oh-so-phallic, the eggplant emoji was repurposed to represent a penis as soon as it was introduced. Keep in mind that many people find this one off-putting (if used in a non-joking way, that is!)
o Water droplets – No matter your gender, sexual arousal is often accompanied by wetness—saliva, ejaculate, vaginal lubrication, sweat. The water droplets emoji is shorthand for hot, wet, sexiness
o Peach – From ancient times, the peach has been symbolic of a luscious butt—and the peach emoji is no exception

New to online dating and feel like everyone is speaking a whole new language? What do all those online dating terms really mean?
If you’ve been out of the dating space for a while, modern dating terms can be mystifying.
Don't worry - from benching and boosts to submarining and more, this guide has all the online dating terms, lingo, and slang you need to know for dating in 2021!
A bot is a fake, automated account, and dating apps like Tinder and Bumble tend to attract them in droves.
Bots are designed to pump unsuspecting singles for information like credit card or bank account numbers, or for personal details that can then be used to get that information.
If your match is stunningly good looking, their bio is non-existent or generic, and the messages you receive just feel a bit off, put your guard up.
Here are some other ways to spot a bot:
If you find yourself matched with a suspected bot, simply use the app’s ‘unmatch’ and/or ‘report’ function.
This happens when you meet someone you like, but you’re not sure quite yet if they have true dating potential. So you text them just often enough to keep them interested, while simultaneously keeping your other options open.
Some services such as Match and Tinder allow you to pay an extra fee to ‘boost’ your profile. When you do that, your profile card is placed at or near the front of the pack for all the singles in your area, typically for an hour. That means your profile is seen sooner rather than later, so it gets more exposure.

As the name implies, breadcrumbing means you’re leading someone along, usually by sending text messages sporadically.
This happens for a variety of reasons - some people don’t know how to break things off and avoid confrontations of any kind. Others simply like the attention, and enjoy knowing they’re keeping you interested.
If you get flirty messages from someone who seems to like you, but you can’t move things beyond the messaging/texting stage , you’re likely being breadcrumbed.
Created by Whitney Wolfe, Bumble is a dating app that’s especially popular with women since in most cases guys can’t send the first message.
But apart from that Bumble works the same way most other dating apps do: swipe right on profiles in your Bumble match queue when you’re interested, left if you aren’t. When both people indicate interest, you match.
Bumble has another twist, though - women only have 24 hours to message their matches, or else the match will expire.
And men likewise only have 24 hours to respond to that first message.
If it’s a same sex couple, either half can send the first message, and the other must reply within the time limit.
But once both halves of a match have contacted each other, you can exchange messages as long as you’d like with no further time restrictions.
Bumble isn’t just for dating, it has two other modes as well:
Each mode has a separate profile, so your professional contacts won’t see your dating profile. And when it comes to how to write a Bumble profile, keep it short & sweet. There’s a 300-character limit, so you’ll to pick a few of your most attractive qualities and focus on those.

This is the paid version of Bumble, meaning you pay for access to the premium features. What does Bumble Boost do? All this:

Catfishing happens when the person you think you’re messaging is actually someone else.
Romance scammers commonly use this technique to con lonely people out of large sums of money. They will build a “relationship” by gaining your trust and affection online, sometimes for months or even years, but it never leads to a face-to-face encounter.
Meanwhile, you’ll be asked to cover emergency expenses, invest in ‘opportunities’, help them flee a foreign country by wiring funds, etc. If someone you’re messaging always has a reason why they can’t meet in real life, you’re likely being catfished.
This term typically applies to hooking up - a one night stand with someone you don’t have a strong emotional attachment to, and whom you expect to metaphorically release back into the dating pool for someone else to hook up with.
These acronyms stand for consensual non-monogamy and ethical non-monogamy. In other words, both people have agreed to open the relationship and see other people.
This dating app that tries to match you with mutual friends on Facebook, although it will cast a wider net if it needs to. It was created by 3 sisters (Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang), and generally attracts singles looking for more serious relationships.
Here’s how Coffee Meets Bagel works:
Every day at noon, the app will send you the day’s potential matches, called “Bagels.” Guys can expect up to 21 at a time, while women receive a smaller number of Bagels that have already “liked” them.
Regardless of your gender, you’ll need to “like” or “pass” on each Bagel within 24 hours or they’ll be replaced with the next day’s fresh round of Bagels.
If two people “like” each other’s profiles, it forms a match and you can message each other.
However, the conversation with any particular match can only last for 8 days.
You can also check out profiles in the app’s “Discover” section, but if you want to “like” a Bagel there you’ll have to spend “Beans” unless you pay for a premium subscription.

The cold, lonely, depressing winter months don’t seem as long when you’re in a relationship, which is why early fall to late winter is often called the cuffing season.
You’re metaphorically handcuffing yourself to someone in the short term, and expecting to “free” yourself come spring.
Dating slang for rejection. Whether it’s someone turning you down when you ask them out or standing you up for a date - you just got curved.
This isn’t ‘cushioning the blow’ when letting someone else down. Instead, it’s cushioning your fall if your current relationship doesn’t work out by keeping other potential partners waiting in the wings.
Most people consider it “microcheating” because you’re definitely investing time and emotional energy into keeping your Plan B interested in you.
“Define The Relationship.” This is when two people have a conversation about what the relationship has become. Are you a couple? FWB (Friends With Benefits)? Still casually seeing each other?
On Tinder, the app’s algorithm assesses your overall desirability, and assigns you an internal (read: secret) rating that used to be called your ELO Score. That rating is based on a number of factors, including how you interact with the app and how other users interact with you.
For instance, if you behave in a manner the app dislikes, such as always swiping right on profiles rather than being more discerning, or rarely responding to messages, you’ll likely have a lower score. If your profile doesn’t receive many right swipes (or “likes”), that will also generally lead to a lower overall rating.
Your score helps determine which users see your profile, and when they see it. For instance, if you have a low rating and you live in a huge city like New York, your profile may not be shown to the most popular users.
To help ensure your score is as high as possible, you’ll want to look as desirable as possible - and that’s not all about looks. Use high-quality, clear photos, write an engaging, interesting Tinder bio, and make sure the app displays your education level and occupation.
In other words - make sure you appear like the good catch you are. Make sure to put these Tinder tips & tricks to work for you!
Colorful cartoon-like icons that represent emotions, ideas, or objects. And in some instances, they have alternate meanings. For instance, unless you’re messaging about your latest culinary creation, the eggplant 🍆 and peach 🍑 are typically used as stand-ins for our naughty bits.
The opposite of cuffing season, freckling is when someone is only interested in a relationship during the warm summer months.
Friends with benefits. A no-strings attached sexual relationship.
If you come across a profile and your potential match lists themselves as genderfluid, it means the gender they identify as shifts from day to day. One day they might identify as a woman, the next a guy, and the day after that maybe neither.
If someone you’ve been texting and/or dating suddenly vanishes without telling you why, you’ve just been ghosted. The ghoster will stop replying to your texts and they won’t take your calls - it’s like they’ve just disappeared, and yes, it sucks.
Happn is a dating app that presents you with profiles of people you’ve actually been in close proximity to during the day - around 273 yards, to be exact.
There’s also a Happn map you can use to see where all your encounters within the last 7 days occurred, and check out their profiles by tapping on the icons.
Because your matches are based purely on proximity to other users, this app is best for singles living in densely populated areas.

Getting ghosted is bad enough. Your date has vanished from your life… but then out of nowhere they ‘like’ a Facebook or Instagram photo you posted.
They let you know they’re watching you, but they don’t seem to want back into your life - instead they just haunt you from afar like a spirit back from the dead.
Whether they’re haunting, orbiting, or acting like a zombie, all of these mean the same thing.
Hinge is a dating app that doesn’t follow the usual swipe right/left formula. Instead, you’ll get around 10 matches every day. You can comment or “like” tidbits of information displayed in each pr
