Delayed catfish

You swipe right. This person looks pretty appealing. You eventually agree to meet in person and to your tickling delight, this person looks exactly how they did online! The conversation is engaging and she even enjoys star wars, hiking and gaming conventions!

2 months later when you've confessed your undying love, she stops exercising and starts demolishing a party sized packet of chips by herself while watching reality television.

She's comfortable.

She's established a nest.

She's showing her true colours.

She delayed catfished you.
"Mate everything was going well until a few months into the relationship. She's not into hiking at all and has really let herself go. I think this is who she really is!"

"Yeah bro, sounds like you got delayed catfished."
