In US Air Force tech schools, (as of the mid 2000s) there is a "phase" system, wherein the longer you have been in tech school, the more freedoms and privileges you have.
A "phase shark" is someone who hangs around with people in a lower phase than they are in the hopes of scoring with them when they finally have enough freedom to (reasonably and without breaking any laws) have sex. It is usually the guys who are guilty of phase sharking, due to them vastly outnumbering women in the military.
The term almost always has derogatory connotations. I suspect a lot of that comes from people who are jealous that they didn't think to start hitting on that hot 1st phaser sooner themselves.
It's somewhat akin to an upperclassman dating freshmen.

Get the phase shark mug.the period in a relationship which lasts for an indeterminable amount of time in which the primary constituent of relations between the two (usually) parties consists of talking, and in which there is no sex; may lead to the friend zone
How long is the talking phase supposed to last before we can have sex? I'm afraid that I'm going to get stuck in the friend zone.

The time after the pointless teen years in which a young person develops what are called "standards" and "morals." It is a time in which eyes are opened and "The Truth" suddenly becomes clear.
Usually beginning when one enters college, said young person reads deep literature, searches for the meaning of life, and listens to college radio, all the while secretly becoming even more confused than when he/she was an lame 16 year old.
The Post-Adolescent Idealistic Phase usually entails naive 18-20something year olds upholding hopeful, yet unrealistic morals. Often, utopian dreams can be confused for "The Truth."
After the phase has ended, the young person must beware becoming highly hypocritical and/or jaded once life has slapped them around a bit.
