#relationships

A sudden feeling of disgust toward someone you were attracted to, often triggered by something small.

A positive trait, behavior, or sign that suggests someone is trustworthy, healthy, or worth investing time in.

The early phase of getting to know someone romantically, before you're officially together.

The people who've been with you from the very beginning.

Leading someone on with just enough attention to keep them interested, without real commitment.

The colder months when single people want to couple up and settle down for the winter.

A romantic relationship that's undefined — more than a fling, but without a clear label or commitment.

The phase where you hint at something new (a relationship, project, or self-reinvention) without fully revealing it.

Keeping a few backups on the side to soften the blow if your main relationship ends.

Keeping your partner hidden from your friends, family, and online life like a stashed secret.

Promising a big shared future you have no intention of delivering, just to keep someone hooked.

A girlfriend you see as serious, long-term, and basically marriage material.

Mature content — open to view.

To publicly and unmistakably reveal a relationship online, often after hinting at it for a while.

Someone who seeks validation by putting others down and acting "not like the rest" to be chosen.

Hiding that you're dating loads of people and acting shocked when you get caught.

A warning sign that someone or something has a serious problem — a reason to be cautious.

Harmful, manipulative, or draining to be around — especially in relationships.

Developing romantic feelings for someone, often unexpectedly or against your intentions.

So in love or devoted to a partner that you do whatever they want.

Suddenly cutting off all contact with someone, with no explanation — vanishing like a ghost.

Swinging straight from one relationship to the next without ever letting go of a bar.

Keeping someone as a backup option while you pursue other people.

Manipulating someone into doubting their own memory, perception, or sanity — a therapy-speak term gone mainstream.

Small sneaky acts of emotional infidelity that aren't full cheating but still cross a line.

A quirky, neutral trait in a partner that's neither a red flag nor a green flag — just oddly boring or weird.

When someone who ghosted you suddenly comes back from the dead and contacts you again.

Dating while stuck in constant hesitation, too unsure to commit or fully walk away.

An imagined relationship that exists mostly in your head — being delulu about someone who isn't actually your partner.

Dating someone but hiding them from your friends, family, and socials like they're a secret.

To hint at something (often a new relationship) subtly online before officially revealing it.

Someone loyal enough to stick with you through anything.

A summer-only fling that appears with the sun and fades when the weather turns cold.
