The "Shift" is when a guy (sometimes a gal) goes from DFS to DFL. Sometimes it happens because he has been dating seriously and sees the long-term potential or possibly has experienced lovematism. Sometimes it happens because he is bored with superficial one-night-stands or FWB and wants to settle down with one woman.

The "Shift" is when a guy leaves the dateship boards the relationship.
Guy One to Guy Two: "Are you going through THE SHIFT? Stop that crazy talk about her being 'the one.'"

Susan to Jane: "Wow, he's so mature for his age to have gone through THE SHIFT."

another word for snogging, scoring, meeting, kissing with tongues. The girl puts her hands around the lad's neck and the lad puts in his hand on her ass and massages it. They start to kiss and put there tongues in each others mouth and start moving it around. sometimes the lad might bight the girls lip or give her a hickey. Shifting is sometimes done against the wall so the lad can hump the girls. Mostly common with teenagers.
He whispered in my ear 'fancy a shift?'...and before i knew it he had his hand on my ass and his tongue in my mouth. He was swirling it around in my mouth. Our tongues were colliding. He started to gently nibble on my lip. He brought me over to the wall and pinned me to it, his tongue still frantic in my mouth and his hands massaging and squeezing my ass. He began to hump me, still shifting. It lasted for 40 minutes when I had to pull out because the disco was over and everyone was gone. Before he left he said softly in my ear 'nicee shifting...pleasure working with you...i'll text you' and he left with a wink!
