Modern Dating and Apps

Profiles and Flirting

When using dating apps, the first step is setting up a good bio and knowing how to flirt. Many terms are easily recognizable. Remember that adjectives like atrăgător (attractive) must agree in gender and number with the noun they describe.

They flirt on the app before going out.

The attraction between them is strong.

Feelings and Connection

On a date, you might discuss emotions and personality traits. Words for traits like romantic and spontan are very similar to English. When talking about catching feelings or getting attached to someone, use the reflexive verb a se atașa.

Love is a beautiful feeling.
Dragostea este un sentiment frumos.
She planned a very romantic dinner.
Ea a planificat o cină foarte romantică.
She prefers a spontaneous man.
