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!

Mosbying

The act of confessing feelings for a girl way too early.

This term comes from the show How I Met Your Mother, after the main character Ted Mosby tells a girl he's interested in that he thinks he's in love with her after their first date.

Later in the series, the term "Mosbying" is coined after Ted's friend Barney hooks up with a girl at a party, doesn't want to see her again, and tell her he's in love with her to make her want nothing to do with him.
Guy A: I don't understand what happened. She seemed really into him. How did he scare her off?
Guy B: Mosbying.

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.
