When you see a girl/boy out in public from a distance and think they're hot, then you get up close to them and realise they're underage.

Click bait 

Click bait is a guy you meet online who gets you to click his link and sucks you in with his golden promises and all the right words that make you want more while never actually getting anything in return. He’s more sophisticated than a PUA pickup artist because he’s not a player, he’s a pimp! He will notoriously get you to invest every last precious resource into his ponzi scheme of emotion.

Jane crying to Mary: "We messaged and texted for 3 days and he was so responsive, he even friended me on facebook and followed me on IG and Snap, then I slept with him and he ghosted me!"
Mary: "Yeah..he's a click bait."

Click-Bait 

When a news article or link has a provocative title in order to get you to click on it.
Even though it's actually total sensationalism bullshit.

TITLE
'President Obama loves KKK!?'

"Hey what the fuck, Deshaun you see this shit?"
"Ahah man, that shit's just click-bait!"
*click*
"Obama loves the Krispey Kreme's new special item, 'Krispey Glazed Bear Claws.'"

Click-bait 

Click-bait is something that someone uses a thing that usually to get someone attention. After they clicked it's not what they wanted. Common on Youtube and ROBLOX. Click-bait titles most likely have a name like this: ''I ALMOST DIED'' or ''PRANKING IN THE HOOD (GONE WRONG)''. Those are things that never happen in the video. No one almost dies and no one pranks in the hood (usually actors). The other way people click-bait is when something happened in the video they make it look more dramatic on the thumbnail and the title. People also like to add sexual things to the thumbnail or title to grab peoples attention. For example: ''THE MOST HOTTEST GAME EVER'' It turns out to be some first-person shooter game. The other way people click-bait is they say a title but they don't finish it so you can get curious to click on the video. For example: ''WE NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING'' or ''WHO DID THIS TO ME?!''.

Click-bait sucks.
