Dating trends that need to die in 2019

• There are many dating trends to keep up with.
• These are the eight that absolutely have to die next year.
• They're immature, outdated, and borderline offensive.
• But there's also a new healthy one you might want to try.

It seems like a new modern dating term is spread around every few weeks.

The names are catchy, and generally they describe pretty poor behaviour from one or both parties involved — but there are a lot of trends to keep up with.

To save time, INSIDER has come up with a list of the ones that absolutely have to die next year.

Most of the terms describe dating habits that are immature, outdated, or even just cruel.

So if you want to enter 2019 with a healthy attitude to finding love, take note — and maybe try "Grande-ing" instead.
