Modern Love Lexicon

Title: Modern Love Lexicon

Swipe right, swipe left with a single flick,
Women and men, searching for their love’s pick.
In a tech-driven world, language evolves,
A dating app glossary unearths what it involves.

Catfishing, when deception wears its mask,
An imposter charades, an imagined past.
Benching, a cruel game of emotional tease,
On the sidelines we wait, desperate for release.
Ghosting, where connections fizzle and fade,
Silence and void, an unspoken masquerade.

Breadcrumbing, a trail of vague attention,
Flirting, leading on, with subtle intervention.
Situationships float, undefined connections,
A grey area where hearts avoid intersections.
DTR, defining the relationship’s intent,
Seeking clarity, forging bonds that are meant.

Love languages, the dialects we speak,
Acts of service, words of affection we seek.
Through swipes and texts, our hearts journey far,
In this digital realm, where love can mar.
