Online Dating Acronyms
Dating has become easier for everyone due to the emergence and success of online dating websites. You can choose the site that suits you best, look for people who have the features you desire along with common interests and contact them immediately.
Some dating sites are featuring their own instant messaging for members to instantly communicate with each other. This is a great way to make contact and get excited about a new 'date'. But when you start chatting back and forth, the other person is typing recognizable words along with small clusters of letters here and there. What are they saying? These are considered to be 'Net Lingo' and are commonly used Internet acronyms.
When you start chatting with a potential M8 (mate), their TIC (tongue in cheek) humor or their SF (super friendly) attitude might captivate you. The time will come when you've GTG (got to go) and tell them you will CWYL (chat with you later) or even want to MRS (meet real soon). People love to communicate this way, it is easy for those with limited typing skills and it can move the conversation along very quickly. Here is a list of commonly used Internet acronyms for you to keep handy for reference in your future communications.
