Ted Mosby-ed

When you tell a girl you love her inappropriately soon, like on the first or second date or during a first time hook up.
Unless she is the girl from swim fan she will most likely be freaked out by this declaration of love.
"Dude I messed up last night, I brought this cutie home from the bar last night and accidentally Ted Mosby-ed her mid makeout session. She just said she had to go, as it was getting late and left."

Ted Mosby

- (v.) to prematurely say "I love you", the weight of which scares away you're romantic partner. May be done on purpose to overwhelm someone who is a potential partner and scare them away.

- (n.) A scheme to pick-up women by telling the target your story of being left at the alter during your own wedding. The story will generate enough pity and sympathy that would override the girl's better judgement.

Both definitions named after Ted Mosby due to his actions in the show "How I Met Your Mother".
Barney: Robin I want to be with you.

Robin: I love you!!

Barney: Woahhh, i think we should just be friends...WAIT you just Ted Mosby'd me!

Barney: sniff* I got left at the alter....

Ted: for all those keeping score, the Ted Mosby worksss!!

Ted Mosby

1. The main character on HIMYM. While Ted is sweet, awesome, and romantic, he can also be rather douchey (and that's douchey, not douché) as a reflection of his personality in college. His main goal during his late 20s and early 30s is to find a wife, and he pursues many ill-fated relationships to fulfill this goal.

2. A man whose life is way too focussed on getting married and having children.

3. A noted fictional porn star, sex architect, and philanderer described in tedmosbyisajerkcom
Man: Guys! Why am I not married yet? I'm almost 24! My biological clock is ticking! I'm so lonely in this world! I just want a wife and lots of babies to call my own!

Everybody else: Dude! Don't be such a Ted Mosby. Besides, you are a guy, you don't have a biological clock.

a mosby

Telling someone who you are romantically interested in and who is interested in you as well that you love them, causing them to not feel any romantic interest towards you and freaking them out.
Telling a woman you're interested in and have realized you love at some point you love her, causing her to lose any of the obvious romantic feelings she had for you.

Same for a woman towards a man.

I.e. the exchange between Barney and Robin in How I Met Your Mother, and also the reason for the name itself - Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother.

"Tim just pulled a Mosby on Rachel"

"Oh God, he's never going to be able to get with her then. She was talking about how much she liked him just last week too"
