If you're going back into the dating world, there are some new terms that you might need to know.

A dating app released its list of dating trends and new words.

Smutten

That's where single people dream about the storylines in TV shows and movies and turn them into reality.

Freak Matching

That's when you manage to connect with someone who has your same sense of humor, or quirks, or your general weirdness.

Yap-Trapping

Those are people who only talk about themselves all the time.

StICKing

With an extra emphasis on ICK, that's where you look beyond something that you don't like about a person, like how they dress or their hair, and still want to date them

Grim Keeping

When you find a connection with someone because you both like the darker side of things, like goth OR you have the same things in common that you DON'T like.
