and realize it's what you've known all along but just haven't been able to put into the right words. 。

Now you do! Next time you send out a carefully curated signal across the social channel, hoping to catch the eye of your Daisy, you're Gatsby-ing.

It feels kind of fancy, doesn't it? And thank goodness we're moving into the literary realm for our new dating slang. The spookiness of all this ghosting and haunting was getting a little old. 。
