Have You Been “Cookie Jarring”?

Have you heard some of the new dating terms?  According to the New York Post, they are:

1.  Pocketing.  That’s when someone is dating you but knows it’s never really going to get serious . . . so they keep you away from meeting their friends or family.  In other words, they put you in their “pocket.”

2.  Cookie Jarring.  That’s when someone treats you as a backup option while they date other people.  Every once in a while they’ll metaphorically pull you out of the cookie jar . . . but only if they don’t have any better options.

3.  You-Turning.  That’s when you start dating someone and you really like them . . . but then you find out some detail about them that means you have to abruptly end things.  Like a criminal record or a secret family or whatever.
