The Dating Terms Game is back. Part 2.

Chris and Kabrina decode the new dating vocabulary that's everywhere right now — situationships, halfsey-ships (one person fully in, the other only halfway), breadcrumbing, and the rest. With a closing line we're putting on a t-shirt: "Love is blind. Dating's not."

But first, the opening bit: the marriage hangover. The leftover habits and reflexes you carry out of your first marriage and into your new relationship — like jumping up to do the dishes because there's a 1% chance she might be mad you're not. (She's never been mad. The 1% wins anyway.)

If you're dating in your 30s and 40s and beyond after divorce, or you just want a translator for the language Gen Z is using to date right now, this one's for you.

✓ The "marriage hangover" opener — Chris's dishes-and-the-1%-chance story

✓ The "am I too much?" voice that keeps showing up in your new relationship

✓ The "golden string" metaphor for two whole people who finally found each other

✓ Halfsey-ship explained: when one person is all in and the other shows up halfway

✓ Situationship as a SPECTRUM — and why so many people are accidentally in one

✓ A real script for telling a coworker "no, my partner and I will come to dinner"

✓ "Love is blind. Dating's not." — the line you're going to repeat for a year

This one's for you if: you're dating after divorce and the vocabulary keeps changing under your feet, or you're a year-or-two into a new relationship and you keep catching yourself with reactions that belong to the old one.

We thought we'd done our homework after Episode 1. We had not.Round 2 of the dating-terms guessing game and somehow we are MORE confused than we were before. New terms, worse guesses, and the dawning horror that the dating world has invented a vocabulary specifically to make divorced adults feel ancient.Chris and Kabrina back at it — still laughing, still losing, still very glad we are not currently single.What we get into:- The terms TikTok keeps trying to make happen- Words that sound made up but are absolutely not (sorry)- The one Chris guessed right (he is unbearable about it for 20 minutes)- Which terms describe healthy behavior vs. red flags wearing a costume- What we wish we'd known these words meant 10 years ago- More running score chaos and at least one full hijacked tangent- Why naming this stuff actually helps you spot itIf Episode 1 made you laugh, this one's the same vibe with more confusion. Perfect for the laundry-folding hour or the I-can't-look-at-divorce-content-right-now hour.#DatingAfterDivorce #LifeAfterDivorce #DatingTerms #ModernDating #BraveEnoughForLove

The dating world has its own language now and nobody handed us the dictionary. So we played a game.In this episode, Chris and Kabrina sit down and try to define modern dating terms — the ones our kids use, the ones we hear thrown around on TikTok, the ones our newly-divorced friends are crying about over wine. Most of our guesses are unhinged. Some are accidentally right. All of them are very, very telling about how dating has changed since we were last single.This is a light, fun episode. No heavy lifting. Just two divorced adults bracing themselves for what "the dating pool" actually looks like in 2026.What we get into:- Why dating after divorce now requires a glossary- Our wildly wrong first guesses (and the real definitions)- The terms that did NOT exist last time we were dating- Which of these are real warning signs vs. just internet noise- The one term that made us both go "oh no, we have done that"- What this all says about dating after divorce as a 30+, 40+ adult- Game updates, scoring chaos, and Kabrina absolutely cooking ChrisIf you're recently divorced, freshly out of a long relationship, or just trying to make sense of how dating apps and TikTok rewrote the rules — pull up a chair. This one's for you.#DatingAfterDivorce #LifeAfterDivorce #DatingTerms #ModernDating #BraveEnoughForLove
