Texting

The pre-relationship phase of modern dating where two people text, flirt and feel each other out without any label: the 'are we, aren't we' era.

When someone sees your message (read receipt confirms it) and simply doesn't reply. The modern silent treatment, with receipts.

Sending short, low-effort replies — one-word answers, no follow-up questions, zero emojis — that make a conversation feel one-sided.

A super-short way of saying 'alright' or 'ight,' used as agreement, acknowledgment, or confirmation in texts and chats.
