Consider us your glossary of dating jargon you’ve heard around but can’t define. Such as zombie-ing, Winter coating, and roaching.

The newest dating trend sounds a whole lot like a financial statistic – but isn’t: PMI. Or “premature intimacy” is another term for love-bombing, coined by dating expert Georgia Grace.

PMI stands for premature intimacy.

“It refers to the act of engaging in intimate behaviour too soon in a new relationship,” says Alderson. 

While this is often oversharing personal information, it can also refer to physical intimacy.

As Alderson explains, it can include everything from “prematurely holding hands or making a move” to “sharing deeply personal information or talking about future plans before the connection has had time to develop”.

Now, while we don’t see a big deal with getting some skin on skin early in the relationship, we do appreciate the idea that over-sharing and getting too emotional too quickly is mega unhealthy. So enjoy the sparks and the fun before you start hurling your baggage and whispers of “forever”!
