meta-eating 

The act of eating a more readily accessible type of food while concurrently pursuing a more difficultly procured food product. This is done in order to save time and/or avoid boredom.

The dining hall was serving salad, paninis, and pizza, the latter two of which had significant waiting lines. Johnson wanted a salad and panini for lunch, so he grabbed a salad and ate it as he stood in line for his sandwich.

"Dude, you're totally meta-eating right now," his friend said.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Johnson replied.

Talking about dating while on a date

I was on a date with Joe and he started talking about dating and all the crazy girls he's met on OkCupid and Tinder. I hate metadating!

metadating 

The project management of online dating...remembering what you said to whom and when on which social network or dating site...and maintaining a fully auditable digital record of said exchanges for legal purposes.

Man, was it Tribe.net, Friendster or... shit - I need a metadating service!
