How well do you know dating language?

There's a quiz on BBC Radio 4 that asks how well you know dating language such as "ghosting", "sliding into someone's DMs" and "stashing". Take the quiz and see how you do!

What did you get? Do you use these terms regularly? Have you ever been ghosted?

I've never heard of most of them, it sounds like something Americans would say because I've only ever heard of ghosting and "sliding into DMs" but that's become a meme now. "Firedooring" really? :lol:

Not a bad effort!

You’re starting to get your head round this new lexicon of love. Find some seasoned Tinder users to chat to – or go on a digital dating binge yourself – and you’ll soon have it all down pat.

7/11.

I either guessed or learned the 2-3 terms I do actually know on TSR. :tongue:

You haven’t quite got your head round this new lexicon of love. Try chatting to some seasoned Tinder users and then have another go.

Someone as knowledgeable and experienced in the world as yourself is surely just making the rest of us feel better by claiming you got a lower score than you actually did ... :wink:
