Dating terms that need to go away....

1. Booty call

2. He's just not that into you.

3. Hook up

4. Becoming Facebook official

5. FWB

6. Doing the "fadeway"...this is just plain rude and humiliating

7. Player

8. Texting for dates

9. Hanging out..when pertaining to dating

Some women like those things .... for everyday in here, the majority of the threads are talking about how the woman got involved with one of those terms.

If the majority of women are in those ... then they must like it.

Unless .. wait ... maybe women have no say-so

10. Fuck buddy - i love this!!!......if we are great buddies and you are a great fuck then why aren't you
11. my husband?

Dating is lame. Easier to just get drunk, do some things you two are gonna regret in the morning, and eventually keep doing them because of familiarity, and hey few years later you are dating. Or FWB hooking up, whatever. Its all just passing time before finally we all die. And then all your terms, all the stupid events you dragged me to, the ugly sweaters you bought me, and awkward dinner parties with your parents I had to attend, none of that shit will matter, as it didn't matter in the first place. It will be gone into the background static of nothingness.

*fist bump of respect*

What about cuddle buddies? I love those 🙂

Gotta say I like the term "Hanging out". It's a nice lose term to use when you aren't sure if it's a date or not. People don't usually define when they just invite you to a movie so you use the term "hanging out" just incase it might not be a date :3

I agree. Like those are all so negative.

Unfortunately, these terms won't go away until those types of behaviors/people go away. And that will NEVER happen. Sorry

Hear hear!

Truer words have never been better strung together

"We're just talking"...agree

Why are we all so afraid to put a name on something if we like that person—

Here's another one...pertains to s*x though...

Guys...please stop saying "Getting my d*ck wet"

That is gross....sorry but women don't find eight grade talk appealing!!

Sorry..."eighth" grade...(at work and got distracted!)

15 Dating terms we want to bring back...

(article from Glamour magazine 12/2010)

Long before we were sexting and sexiling and friending and becoming facebook official, we were "seeing someone special"
and "rendezvousing"

Call us old fashioned, but once upon a time, there were some pretty sweet dating terms that, if genuinely brought back, could really change the game.

Here are 15 terms...

1. Woo, court...implies effort on the man's part. Men please start doing this again...we miss it.

2. Dance card (!)...men had to plan ahead and compete just to get a dance with you! Heck now the women just jump into bed right away!!

3. Necking

4. Parking

5. Going steady...dating exclusively

6. First base second base...far more accurate than hooking up which is vague

7. When can I see you? Can I call you?...men respectfully asking permission to make contact with you and they make reference to actually picking up the phone and speaking!!

8. Beau,paramour,suitor,lover...some women still use these romantic sounding terms...

9. Dear John letter...Back in the day it was legit to break up thru the post office..so why do we feel bad emailing or texting someone a rejection or an "It's not working for me"

10. Dreamboat....hottie is worn out and implies s*x what's wrong with thinking someone is just good looking?

11. Getting pinned, wearing his ring...granted, I attended a few pinning ceremonies in my sorority in the late 90's, but I mean, they just didn't hold the same suspense or magic of when Danny gave Sandy his ring in Grease

12. I'll pencil you in...it's so non-committal. I miss the pencil. And I miss my datebook.

13. Little black book...Because no one ever wrote "Redhead from Club Elecktra..do not pick up" as the name of a contact in an address book!

14. Picking your date up at the door....throwing your jacket over her shoulders when she's chilly... pulling out her chair for her at dinner....coming in for a nightcap and leaving to go home after the nightcap...

These terms are not old fashioned...they are considerate and loving and sweet...something Facebook could never replace....humans are forgetting how to date and in spite of what the poster above says, dating is nice...getting to know someone is half the fun.

I think the whole "facebook official" thing just basically means he/she has let everyone know that they are officially taken. So to all of the people who wanted to get with them, had crushes, tried to get with them, they need to let it go because that person is with someone else. I know some people who think if it's not facebook official, then the guy is trying to play them otherwise why not let it be known to all of his friends and any females who want him??

That shit sounds so high school...

The guy I'm with now was the first one I ever 'dated'. Every other relationship was born from a first developed friendship. But I know from friends the rude, insensitive and negative culture of dating. Male and female have a hard time of it. One of my male friends in his thirties has a really hard time. He said a lot of women are so jaded at that point that they react to attention but not genuine interest. Heck a lot of my friends in their early twenties are already jaded by dating.

I think a lot of it is people not being careful enough about what they invest too though, too much too soon for what they can handle. Some people can handle sex on the first date no matter the outcome, others can't. Some like playing dating games, others don't. A lot of people spend more time trying to get what they want from a relationship rather than seeing it as a give-give learning relationship too. So many problems. :/

The second paragraph is a portion of why I chose to need happily single and celibate.
