We're back with our favorite ridiculous game: "what does this modern dating term actually mean?" The vocabulary keeps changing under our feet - situationships, cuffing season, dating detox, ex factor, leaving on read - and if you're dating in your 30s and 40s and beyond after divorce, half of these words didn't exist the last time you were single.So we wrote them on cards and defined them on the mic. The good. The bad. The "this was basically my whole entire marriage."We get into love bombing (Kabrina's "this was my whole marriage" moment, plus the heart-necklaces-from-dad childhood memory that taught her what it felt like), the dating detox Kabrina was about to start the week she met Chris, the speed-dating event she turned into a psychology experiment, the cruelty of leaving someone on read, and the most important one - "you can't make someone love you."Plus: the reticular activating system, the journal entry where Kabrina wrote down exactly who Chris would turn out to be, blended family math (measured in chicken nuggets and toilet paper), and Chris's childhood ninja-samurai stick games. Because we contain multitudes.✓ Multigenerational definitions of "hooking up" - Gen X and Millennial don't agree✓ Dating intentions: how to be honest about whether you want casual or long-term✓ Dating detox - when to give yourself a break, and why "I stopped looking" is when it happens✓ Cuffing season explained (Kabrina thought it was a wedding thing)✓ The ex factor: how an ex weighs into your new relationship, especially with kids✓ Love bombing: the cycle, the control underneath it, and how to spot it✓ Why "leaving on red" steals closure (and the chance to become a better person)✓ Envisioning your ideal partner - the journal entry method that actually works✓ Blended family math: the logistical AND emotional calculus of two families becoming oneThis one's for you if: you're dating after divorce and the language keeps shifting, or you're a year-or-two into a new relationship and recognizing patterns from the last one in real time.💬 Which one of these terms did you have to look up the first time you heard it? Drop it in the comments - we'll roast it (or define it) in the next round.🔔 Subscribe for honest, funny conversations about love after divorce in your 30s and 40s and beyond.📚 Resources & Links:🌐 Website: BraveEnoughForLove.com🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3o9B86i28QSt5biD4but0F🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brave-enough-for-love/id1880364062🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a85721e4-20e8-4460-94d5-372e5bb34238/brave-enough-for-love📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BraveEnoughForLove🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@braveenoughforlove📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveenoughforlove/📧 Email: info@braveenoughforlove.com#DatingTermsGame #LoveBombing #CuffingSeason #DatingAfterDivorce #LoveAfterDivorce #ModernDating #DatingIn30s #DatingIn40s #BraveEnoughForLove #DivorcePodcast
