However, Gatsbying in 2018 means throwing a digital “party” and sharing lavish posts on social media with the goal of your crush seeing it.
Are we all a little guilty of that? Just a bit like.
The word was coined by Matilda Dods in a piece she wrote for TomBoyBeauty.com.
“a video, picture or selfie to public social media purely for a love interest to see…”
The model pondered her behaviour on a night out, and we couldn't help but think...
"Why, instead of just sending a text to the boy that I like, am I throwing the equivalent of a champagne soaked, chandelier swinging, Charleston dancing party on my Instagram story? All for that ceaseless green light across the water that is the attention of a boy who, let’s be real, probably isn’t good enough for me anyway?"Don't get me wrong, there are dating trends out there that are way worse. However, this baby might just be the most fickle. Have you ever been the victim of Gatsbying? Or have you done it?
