wants to date but nothing serious 

It probably means that the woman in question wants to go on dates with multiple guys but not be in a relationship with anyone specific. But please keep this in mind: ALL Women are fickle when it comes to the dating scene, so if you went on one date and it went well or she decided she had a crush on you, she'll change her mind and desires to be in a relationship with you.
ALL women that has the term "wants to date but nothing serious" in their dating profiles, it means that they'll date multiple guys. Even though these women go on multiple dates with multiple guys, they have no expectations beyond those first, second, third, etc. amount of dates. They always keep their options open. And they ALWAYS CONTROL the Dating Narrative, not the Men. Comedian Chris Rock was ABSOLUTELY correct when he spoke his famous QUOTE: "A MAN is ONLY as FAITHFUL as HIS OPTIONS." In the same way, WOMEN are ONLY as FAITHFUL as THEIR OPTIONS too. So it's only fair that we as men remember that too.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
