A ‘shadow type’ is your secondary (often unacknowledged) romantic ‘type’. It isn’t the exact opposite of your usual type, just different and maybe more unexpected or embarrassing. Most people don’t even know they have a shadow type until they start noticing a pattern they didn’t expect in the people they crush on/date.
“My type is usually wholesome, bubbly and athletic but my shadow type is definitely mean goths”
“I’m kind of surprised to hear about you and Dorian, I didn’t realise you were into sickly artsy boys”
“Honestly neither did I, but he’s like the third guy I’ve had a thing with this year who looks and sounds like a Victorian ghost. I think that’s my shadow type”

A friend who follows you around whilst shopping, potentially because they have no sense of personal style or space. Highly annoying. When you ask their opinion they will often say what they think you want to hear, rather than their genuine belief, lest it be 'wrong'.

Someone who or the act of throwing someone under the bus without them knowing. Another form of dry snitching.
