Scuba Dating

Scuba Dating
(verb) /ˈsko͞obə ˈdādiNG/

Definition:
A style of romantic involvement where one person dives way too deep, way too fast — forming intense emotional attachments early on, often before really knowing the other person. Like scuba diving without checking your oxygen tank, it’s risky, immersive, and usually ends with someone surfacing too quickly (and getting hurt.)
Example:
"We’d only been on two dates and he told me he could see us getting married. Classic scuba dating."
"She’s sweet, but total scuba — had our future kids named before we even kissed."

Like a statute of limitations on getting "cancelled."
