Emergency Date Effect

The Emergency Date Effect, or EDE for short, is defined as the moment when a person in a school or similar institute has no date for a social event, such as Prom or Homecoming, so asks out someone who is of a lower social standing of theirs or who they know already has some form a crush on them as an insurance policy.
Guy 1: “Hey, did you hear Tom managed to get a date with Maria?”
Guy 2: “Yeah, but I heard she had no other options. They’re only going out because of the Emergency Date Effect”
