sympathy flirt

making small, quick conversation with someone, especially non-witty conversation only because you feel bad that the other person likes you and you dont want to be rude to them.

he wasnt complementing your purse because he actually likes you. That was just a sympathy flirt because you're in the same social circles and you wouldnt leave him alone.

Pregnancy Sympathy Syndrome

When spending a lot of time around a pregnant woman, you start to develop some of the same symptoms without actually being pregnant-- specifically food cravings.

Alternatively, when the pregnant friend feels unmotivated and lazy, you share her lack of motivation.

Preggo friend: I'm craving a tub of Duncan Hines icing...
Non-preggo friend: Oh man, me too! We should totally go to the grocery store and buy some!
Preggo friend: You're such a good friend for not making me feel alone.
Non-preggo friend: It's just the Pregnancy Sympathy Syndrome talking... where's the freezer aisle?

(Return from grocery store with funfetti cake mix, 2 tubs of Duncan Hines icing, and black cherry vanilla ice cream)
