Dating is already rough, especially online.
“Curving” is when someone probably isn’t into you, but instead of ghosting you, they DO keep texting with you . . . but just with almost NO effort or passion. For example, if you text someone a lot of messages and they respond back a few hours later with just the thumbs up emoji, that’s curving. And it might be even worse than ghosting, because it keeps stringing you along.
