Welcome the new entry to the dating lingo: Benching

Modern day dating scene is one weird mumbo jumbo of a world where singletons or not so single. They are confused about their relationship status and tend to coin new terms to make sense of what’s going on in their turbulent dating life. After ghosting, where your potential partner simply vanishes on you without informing you, benching is the new dating term which has caught people’s fancy.
Benching, a term which has been coined by the New York Magazine writer Jason Chen, occurs when you start dating someone and you realize that probably the person isn’t the one for you. But instead of moving on from the person you simply keep them as a backup option.
