Today, as I sipped my strong cuppa coffee, I came across the term “simmering”. What is simmering? Why do I not know about this? Were the questions that came to mind.

I googled it immediately; as we do these days. It turns out I know the term well. I experienced it; a lot of us have.

A Lifehacker video featuring Esther Perel explains “simmering” really well. If you want to understand all about the dating terms that are hurting us today; watch Perel explain them.

Perel asks – ” Why are these terms hurting us?” She continues to explain that all these behaviours promote selfishness, disrespect, and a dangerous decline in empathy in relationships. This is the very reason why we need to understand these dating terms and what they mean.
How many people have iced you? Or disappeared when they only needed to take one minute to explain themselves.

With the advent of technology and online dating; finding another compatible partner has become so easy. Rendering relationships unclear and ambiguous.

Watch Perel explain in the video below the dating terms that are damaging relationships and why we need to stop behaving like that.
