Don’t “Groundhog” Your Dating Life
The last two years have created some interesting dating terms and trends, and now here’s a new one – groundhogging. According to Stylist, groundhogging means “dating the same kind of person, [producing] the same (often unsuccessful) results.”
It refers to the idea that people are going for the same type of person over and over again, whilst expecting different results. People pick out someone who fits their ideal type, date them, but end up feeling underwhelmed. Instead of breaking out of this cycle, when they turn back to dating apps, they end up swiping someone else who fits the same profile.
So, this year if you’re looking to break the cycle of same, and want to have more fun, more exciting dates, and steamier romps — break the groundhogging cycle – and go for someone new!
