Turns out the answer to Chastity's question to Bianca is yes, and not just in Europe.

"Whelming" is a newly coined dating term which describes a behaviour you might already be familiar with. In a piece for SELF, journalist Patia Braithwaite coined the term to depict "a new shitty dating behavior."

"Whelming is what happens when my matches spontaneously lament about how overwhelmed they are by their other matches instead of, you know, flirting with me," wrote Braithwaite.
