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."

Date-poaching

The act of interfering with a romantic relationship between two people by trying to initiate a date or romantic interest with one of the individuals as they are on a date with each other.
"I couldn't believe the audacity of the guy at the next table; his attempt at date-poaching was so blatant, asking for my friend's number while her date was in the restroom."

"My last relationship ended after a particularly bold instance of date-poaching; someone approached my ex at a concert we were at together, and apparently, it worked."

Dating NATO

Not attached to outcome. Dating is not a means to an end but rather a more dynamic process. Not everyone will be "the one." So many people only have this one acceptable outcome in mind and anything short of that is failure -- that's simply untrue.

Start at point A, which is meeting a new person. Maybe that person will get to point C or M but not make it all the way to Z (a long-term relationship). Try to be open to all possibilities of how someone might fit into your life versus backfilling them into some arbitrary end goal. This takes the pressure off of yourself to assess long-term compatibility immediately and recognize small wins.
"OMG I'm so nervous about this date! He seems perfect on paper! I think he's gonna be my husband!" "Make sure= you're dating NATO... the point of the first date is to go on a second... not get married!"

"They were nice but not sure if I feel romance, so I'm gonna cut it off." "No need to yet. If you date NATO, you don't need to pre-determine anything."
