Where you take on the interests and hobbies of the person you’re dating and pretend you’ve always liked them too.

7.“Glamboozed”

Getting all made up to go out on a date only to be cancelled on or stood up at the last minute. If you’ve glammed up only to be cancelled on at the last minute, you’ve been ‘glamboozled’.

8.“Kanye’d”

When your date spends the whole time talking about themselves. If that happens you got Kanye’d.

9. “Fleabagging”

This dating term is for anyone who consistently pics the wrong person.

10. “Falshpanning”

When trouble arises in a relationship a flashpanner will jump ship as things get tough.
