refers to a form of behaviour where you obsessively fantasise about a person you have just started dating or been on just one date with. According to the authors, Jordana Abraham, Samantha Fishbein and Aleen Kuperman, otherwise known as ‘The Betches’, it appears differently in men and women. While men are likely to do this at the beginning of your romance, it’s more about having sex with you – as opposed to women, who it’s said will fantasise about everything from marriage to babies.
