Ted Mosby-ed 

When you tell a girl you love her inappropriately soon, like on the first or second date or during a first time hook up.
Unless she is the girl from swim fan she will most likely be freaked out by this declaration of love.
"Dude I messed up last night, I brought this cutie home from the bar last night and accidentally Ted Mosby-ed her mid makeout session. She just said she had to go, as it was getting late and left."

Verb. "to mosby someone". Telling someone (usually on your first date) that you love them in order to freak them out and deter them from having a further relationship with you.

Originates from the show How I Met Your Mother.
Robin: "I found out Barney loves me, what am I gonna do? It's gonna break his heart when I tell him I don't love him back."

Marshall: "Well, there's an option. High risk but high reward. You could mosby him."

Lily: "Oh no, she couldn't mosby him."

Marshal: "She could MOSBY THE CRAP OUT OF HIM."

Ted Mosby 

- (v.) to prematurely say "I love you", the weight of which scares away you're romantic partner. May be done on purpose to overwhelm someone who is a potential partner and scare them away.

- (n.) A scheme to pick-up women by telling the target your story of being left at the alter during your own wedding. The story will generate enough pity and sympathy that would override the girl's better judgement.

Both definitions named after Ted Mosby due to his actions in the show "How I Met Your Mother".
Barney: Robin I want to be with you.

Robin: I love you!!

Barney: Woahhh, i think we should just be friends...WAIT you just Ted Mosby'd me!

Barney: sniff* I got left at the alter....

Ted: for all those keeping score, the Ted Mosby worksss!!

The Ted Mosby 

a play on girls in which you

1. put on a plaid button up over a graphic tee
2. Hold in your hands an engagement ring and look as sad and lonely as possible
3. Tell her "I got left at the altar"
4. She will then comfort you....and it is on
The act of confessing feelings for a girl way too early.

This term comes from the show How I Met Your Mother, after the main character Ted Mosby tells a girl he's interested in that he thinks he's in love with her after their first date.

Later in the series, the term "Mosbying" is coined after Ted's friend Barney hooks up with a girl at a party, doesn't want to see her again, and tell her he's in love with her to make her want nothing to do with him.
Guy A: I don't understand what happened. She seemed really into him. How did he scare her off?
Guy B: Mosbying.
